Main keyboard shortcuts in macOS

For starters, let’s consider basic shortcuts, to make your everyday tasks easier. We’ll find out how to copy and paste things, open new tabs in your browser, and switch between running applications.

For example, to copy files or text, use the shortcut Command (⌘) + C. It will help you copy any selected file or text.

To paste the copied file elsewhere, press the key combination Command (⌘) + V. This way, you can quickly transfer a file from one directory to another.

To cut a file or text, press the key shortcut Command (⌘) + X. After that, this file or text can be pasted somewhere else by pressing Command (⌘) + V which performs the “insert” action.

These keyboard shortcuts will help you when dealing with text, files and other data.

Another combination is Command (⌘) + T. Use it to open a new tab in a browser or application.

It is especially helpful when you work with web browsers or applications where new windows need to be opened quickly.

If you have several applications running, you can switch between them using this combination Command (⌘) + Tab– it quickly takes you from one app to another.

To switch between windows of the same application, use the keyboard shortcut Command (⌘) + ‘(tilde). It will take you from one task or app to another in no time.

Finally, to close a running application press Command (⌘) + Q. When you want to stop working with an app, this shortcut will help you close it immediately and free up some system resources.

If you need to find a specific app, open the search window in Spotlight: press the key shortcut Command (⌘) + Space. This search will help you find files, apps and other items on your Mac.

Spotlight gives you quick access to files and functions on your computer, which makes it a powerful tool for everyday use in macOS.

All right, we have had a look on basic keyboard shortcuts, and now it’s time to explore more advanced options.

Navigation and windows

Let’s find out how to quickly switch between application windows, use Mission Control for effective navigation of the desktop, and how to manage windows size and location.

To open Mission Control use this shortcut: F3 or Control (⌃) + Up Arrow (↑). When you press it, Mission Control opens and shows you thumbnails of all opened windows and desktops on your computer.

Mission Control makes it easier to navigate and organize your workspace, which is especially useful when dealing with a number of opened windows and running apps.

If you tend to use multiple applications at the same time, the function to switch from one desktop to another will help you put things to rights. Use the keyboard shortcut Control (⌃) + ←/→ to switch between desktops.

Control (⌃) + ←/→ - switch between desktops

To close the current window of a running application, press Command (⌘) + W. This combination will help you save the time when working with application windows.

Another shortcut will come in handy when you need to move or resize windows.

To switch a window to full screen mode, press the three keys – Control (^) + Command (⌘) + F, and if you press them again, the window will revert to its original size.

To open a new window in the active application, press Command + N.

To minimize a window, press the keyboard shortcut Command (⌘) + M.

The combination Command + H hides the current window.

And if you press Command + Option + H it will hide all windows except the active application.

Press Command + Q to close the window or an app.

With the help of these combinations, managing your app windows becomes more convenient and quicker.

Text processing and editing

There are also certain keyboard shortcuts for text processing, which will speed up your work with it. For example, you can move from word to word, or from line to line using the following combinations:

Command (⌘) + A – select all.
Command (⌘) + C – copy.
Command (⌘) + X – cut.
Command (⌘) + V – insert.

To find text in a system utility or application, press – Command + F.

To save changes in a document, use Command + S.

Another shortcut is meant to cancel the last action Command (⌘) + Z. For example, this shortcut can restore a deleted piece of text, a cut file, or cancel the last thing you did in this or another application.

On the other hand, the shortcut Command (⌘) + Shift (⇧) + Z will repeat the last action.

These keyboard shortcuts will make your text processing and editing easier in any app you can run on your Mac.

System commands

And Option + Shift + Command + Q will sign you out of the current macOS user account.
The combination Command + Option + Eject (or Power, if your keyboard has this physical button) is used to put Mac into sleep mode. It sends the signal for the computer to go to sleep, which is the same as if you were pressing the power button.

If your Mac doesn’t respond to this shortcut, please make sure that the Eject (or Power) button works properly, and check the selected options in System Settings to see if this shortcut has not been modified or disabled.
To restart your computer, use the shortcut Command + Control + Eject (or Power).

Remember that exact combinations of keys may differ depending on a specific Mac model and the keyboard that is used. For example, MacBooks with Touch ID sensor panel use the Touch ID button instead of the power button. If your device has Magic Keyboard, the shortcuts can also differ.
