WHO THE F*CK DOWNRATED THIS? This was HELPFUL AND COMPLIMENTS THE F*CKING POST
If it was some retard that thinks Mac's are stupid or gay or anything else - then stick it up your own a** because I don't go around downrating everything I see about windows - I uprated this post because its useful to me and others even though I don't use Windows.
Be considerate - there are people who use Macs too who will find this very useful. So next time, don't be a tw*t.
Heres my amended Mac guide :
If you are not using a Mac - don't bother reading this. I use symbols to represent things like control and shift - most of these are unique to the Mac OS and will just appear as blocks or blank spaces if you are on Windows or Linux
Key:
⌥ = ALT or OPTION (Depending on what keyboard layout, US or UK etc)
⌘ = CMD or COMMAND
⌫ = DELETE (backspace)
⇧ = SHIFT
⌃ = CONTROL or CTRL
⇥ = TAB
← = LEFT ARROW KEY
→ = RIGHT ARROW KEY
DELETE SINGLE WORDS IN ONE PRESS: ⌥ + ⌫
MOVE ACROSS WHOLE WORDS IN ONE PRESS: ⌥ + arrow key
DELETE AN ENTIRE LINE: ⌘ + ⌫
GO TO BEGINNING OF LINE: ⌘ + ←
GO TO END OF LINE: ⌘ + →
OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB IN BACKGROUND: ⌘ + CLICK
OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB & SWITCH TO IT: ⌘ + ⇧ + CLICK
OPEN LINK IN NEW WINDOW IN BCKGROUND: ⌘ + ⌥ + CLICK
OPEN LINK IN NEW WINDOW & SWITCH TO IT: ⌘ + ⌥ + ⇧ + CLICK
DOWNLOAD LINK: ⌥ + CLICK
ADD TO READING LIST (Safari 5): ⇧ + CLICK
SWITCH BETWEEN TABS: ⌃ + ⇥
MOVE OBJECTS SLOWLY: Arrow Keys
MOVE OBJECTS QUICKLY: ⇧ + Arrow Keys
DUPLICATE OBJECT: ⌥ + arrow keys, click+drag whatever
Ok, im joking a bit. I have mine because I prefer the UI and it seems to run much faster on the same hardware than on Windows.
I break the stereotype because I don't have hipster fashion, don't wear 3D-glasses-frames, I don't like coffee, don't have a lot of money and I'm not the first to do anything.
Its the fact that both Linux and Mac OS have a UNIX foundation - and unix is a very, very lightweight, flexible yet secure system.
Most server clusters will share that load so it doesn't matter about the OS limit. besides, why would you strain a single computer that much. just because you can, doesn't mean you should. I agree, that support is good to have but probably very impractical.
Ctrl+Enter
Skips straight to a new page, so you don't have to press enter 2 billion times. Also, if you move something or change the size, you don't get tons of whitespace added, that is literally blank space.
CTRL+SHIFT+Left/Right will highlight whole words.
