I wanted to give you a quick little tip: <em>having keyboard commands that you<\/em> like and getting rid of the ones you hate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things I deal with is that the keyboard commands don&#8217;t always seem to fit where my fingers expect them to be. And sometimes they change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you a practical example, Apple made a recent change with Numbers. They removed a favorite keyboard command: the ability to quickly add a column or row based on where my cursor was. It used to be Command + the arrow key of whatever direction you wanted to add.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unimportant why they removed it &#8211; it&#8217;s valuable that you know that you can change almost anything\/everything to what you want it to me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To customize your keyboard, open up System Preferences and go to the Keyboard preferences. Go to the Shortcuts Tab. Click on App Shortcuts and press the PLUS button.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-79147\" width=\"1050\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-213x120.jpg 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-548x308.jpg 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-213x120@2x.jpg 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-284x160@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/02_Appshortcut-190x107@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1050px) 100vw, 1050px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Pick any application you want to add or change a keyboard command.

I form a sentence and associate the command, so I know that it&#8217;ll stick. I call this a natural language mnemonic approach.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are times where the keyboard commands are too good. It&#8217;s too easy to quit an app!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend that you make <em>quitting an app harder in the apps you use every day<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact process as before &#8211; add the App and pick the Menu Title, but now, let&#8217;s make the keyboard choice something really strange.
