Dan's Tech Tips:
Mac OS Only
Flip Through Same App Windows
Command-~ (the button right below Escape) creates something like Command-Tab,
but only in the current application. If you've got ten Firefox windows open at
a time, or need to flip between Word docs, this is a life saver.
Launch Apps With Spotlight
You really don't need the Dock, or Finder, or anything else to open a file or
application. Just hit Command-Space to open Spotlight, and start typing what
you're looking for. Move up and down the list with arrows, and Enter opens your
app or file.
Quick Look
Use Quick Look
Quick Look supports most file types, and can show you the contents of a file
(read a PDF, hear a song, see a Photoshop file), without ever opening the app.
Just select a file, and hit Space to see it in Quick Look.
Open A File
Instead of Pressing Enter, which doesn't work, or double-clicking a file to
open it, just hit Command-O. It'll pop right open.
Delete A File
Command-Delete automatically sends the one (or many) selected files to the
Trash.
Much of what we all do on computers is repetitive, and administrative, doing
something, so that you can do something creative or useful. With these tricks,
and much more, nearly everything you do, there's a way to do faster, you'll be
flying through the boring stuff.
