\n10.<\/strong> <\/td>\nSend mail<\/strong>
\nShift (\u21e7) + Command (\u2318) + D<\/span>
\nWhen you are done composing, stop lifting your hands just to click the send mail button. Seriously, don\u2019t do that. Say no to carpal tunnel syndrome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n9.<\/strong> <\/td>\nMove the cursor to the beginning or end of a line<\/strong>
\nCommand (\u2318) + Left (\u25c0\ufe0e) or Right (\u25b6) Arrow<\/span>
\nYou don\u2019t have to point and click or rest your finger on the arrow key for 10 minutes waiting for the cursor to reach the end of a line. This could potentially save you several hours a day if you type a lot.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n8.<\/strong> <\/td>\nMove the cursor to the previous or next word<\/strong>
\nOption (\u2325) + Left (\u25c0\ufe0e) or Right (\u25b6) Arrow<\/span>
\nSame as above, but also keeps you from cruising past the beginning of a word, having to reverse direction, going too far again, reversing once more\u2026 That gets annoying quickly – like having your reverse reversed in Uno a dozen times in a row.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n7.<\/strong> <\/td>\nOpen Preferences in any application <\/strong>
\nCommand (\u2318) + Comma (,)<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve recently started checking my preferences more frequently. Why? Because this is where so many interesting application updates seem to occur. I can go years without realizing there are features I never knew existed, and that makes me sad.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n6.<\/strong> <\/td>\nShow details for any word<\/strong>
\nControl (\u2303) + Command (\u2318) + D<\/span>
\nPop-up a window that shows a Dictionary, Thesaurus, Wikipedia and more! It even performs Siri searches for news, maps, movies, iTunes and the App store. I use it mostly for the thesaurus to help make my writing more flowery<\/span> fancy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n5.<\/strong> <\/td>\nMove through your Safari viewing history <\/strong>
\nCommand (\u2318) + Left ([) or Right (]) Bracket<\/span>
\nGo back, go back, go back, nope too far, move forward.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n4.<\/strong> <\/td>\nAccess Safari address bar<\/strong>
\nCommand (\u2318) + L<\/span>
\nThis keyboard shortcut auto-selects and replaces whatever is in Safari\u2019s Address Bar, so go ahead and just start typing. Drop in a URL or a search term and let the fun begin! (Note: I associate the \u201cL\u201d in this shortcut with \u201cLocation Bar\u201d instead of \u201cAddress Bar.\u201d I have no idea why. Was it called that once upon a time?)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n3.<\/strong> <\/td>\nCycle through open windows of any application<\/strong>
\nCommand (\u2318) + Backquote (`)<\/span>
\nMove quickly through the dozens of windows you have open in Safari. Super helpful if you haven’t yet realized that Apple introduced tabbed browsing in the early 2000\u2019s.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n2.<\/strong> <\/td>\nCycle through open applications<\/strong>
\nCommand (\u2318) + Tab<\/span>
\nStop dragging windows all around your screen just to find the open app you want. And stop miss-clicking the wrong app on your Dock, launching yet another program that will sit open and unused for weeks on end.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| \n | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Okay, the term \u201cgreatest\u201d is certainly subjective in this case. But trying to explain myself with a disclaimer in the title would be way too complicated and confusing. I\u2019m not even sure if a web browser could parse a URL that boasted some variant of a concatenated string that incorporated \u201cTop 10 Greatest Mac Keyboard Shortcuts of All-Time as Compiled by One Author Whose Opinion May or May Not Match Your Own and Does Not Necessarily Reflect Any Official Policy or Position of the Rocket Yard Blog, OWC, or any of its Partners or Affiliates.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
