Shortcuts… I love shortcuts!
Honestly… I never create a folder with the help of right click or the top menu. It is always Command-Shift-N. Absolutely loving it (this particular one you can not do in Windows… or may be they added it now in Vista??) File information? It’s always, ALWAYS Command-I. Find a desktop? Of course, Command-D. and so on… It does not feel very convenient in the beginning, but then things just fly :)
Browsing random sites I’ve come across a nicely done Mac OS X shortcuts sort of pocket book and liked it a lot. Even learned a few key combinations I was not yet using. So I thought it might be a good idea to put it on the server so you could find it, use it and enjoy it. I believe guys from macintalk.com would not mind me doing that.
So please, download it from skrinda.com/docs/MacOSX-Shortcuts.pdf. It’s a tiny one page document. First learn and then enjoy ;)
By the way, the craziest shortcut so far for me is Save for web in Photoshop : Command-Shit-Alt-S, which I happen to use, well, every day. As a matter of fact, it’s not that bad with Windows keyboard layout, but when you do it on mac, your look and actually feel like a crippled-hand man :)
