I’m still getting used to the MacBook, so discovering things daily. The below are my current most helpful shortcuts and gestures. What do you use? Tell me, Macfans!
Option instead of alt, COMMAND instead of CTRL. COMMAND-OPTION-ARROW (or COMMAND-OPTION-SHIFT-ARROW). Keep messing that one up.
Command tab – switch apps, etc. Command generally replaces CTRL. Command-` will switch between tabs in an application.
Enter to rename files (F2 in Windows)
FN-DELETE – forward delete (delete key in Windows)
COMMAND-SPACEBAR – Spotlight search (keep thinking it should be left-swish – probably will be in Lion)
Loads of cool stuff with Expose, the applicaton switching, erm, application – COMMAND-F3 shows desktop, for example, Expose shows all open windows wby pressing F3 (same as three finger gesture)
Cool touchpad stuff:
Two finger touch gesture – scrolling.
Four fingers swoosh down gesture – view all open apps (or swoosh up to show desktop)
Three fingers sideways swoosh – back/forward
Pinch to zoom
Rotate to… rotate
