I have to say, although useless, crl+opt+apple key+8 is awesome. What's your favorite? I haven't been able to find a definitive shortcut key list, so if you know where a complete list is, please let us all know!

    Simple, but oh so important is CMD-Z

    Command-option-shift-V. Paste with current style attribute. Awesome for copying text from one source, then matching the format of the doc your working on.

    Same here. I also use Command-H a lot, and Command-Option-H (to hide all other apps).

    I am a big fan of using the cmd+tab interface and from there using cmd+h and cmd+q.

    Apple-Z.



    I wish Apple would hurry up and extend its functionality to real life.

    I really like command+w. It's just like clicking the little red button on windows.

    While not technically a keyboard shortcut, I like the right click on the mouse-- very handy for a number of things.

    i don't own a mac yet, but we have at school, and a cool little thing, not sure if it's really considered a short cut, but ctrl + roll the scroll wheel up and down , it zooms into stuff, it's pretty cool. i also like apple+options+w ( i think it's that ) closes all the windows that are open.

    Just press them in a random order when you're bored and the dancing windows will brighten up your day.



    I use command-H too but more often I just alt-left-click the desktop, which hides the current app.



    I wish there was a command combo to bring up a terminal. Even if one appeared when you do alt-command-escape.

    I gotta say, that last one was pretty cool.

    Command-Delete followed by Shift-Cmd-Delete (Move to trash, empty trash).

    Does the mute key count?



    If the iPhone has a "divert to voicemail when docked function" then I'll never have to interrupt my musical enjoyment ever again!

    Since we are on the subject.... Is there a key combination that will change the size of the mouse cursor?



    Thanks in advance.
