FAST PACED SOLUTIONS @ AFFORTABLE COSTS

Force Quit Applications
Hold down Command+Option+Shift+Escape for about 2-3 seconds to force quit the currently active application without any confirmation dialog, and without having to kill it through activity monitor or the Force Quit menu. Just note there is no warning the app quits immediately without saving anything, perfect for when something is going haywire.

Application Launch w/Spotlight
Hit Command+Spacebar and start typing the name of the app you want to launch, then hit return to open that app immediately. If you’re fastest with the keyboard, this will be the quickest way to launch apps in OS X.

Take A Screenshot
Hit Command+Control+Shift+3 to take a capture of the entire screen and store in the clipboard. If this sounds familiar to Windows users, it’s because this is basically the Mac equivalent of the Print Screen button which doesn’t exist on the simplified Apple keyboards. Longtime Mac users will most likely prefer the classic Command+Shift+3 option though, which dumps the screen shot directly onto the desktop.

Copy & Paste
Hold bottom left on track pad. While holding down the track pad, drag across the middle of the track to the right, using a different finger, until desired text is highlighted. Let go of bottom left of track pad. While text is highlighted, hold down the “Command” key, which is located on the bottom left of the keyboard. The “Command” key looks like it has a butterfly on it. While holding down Command key, tap the “C” key once. Release your finger from the track pad. Your text is copied now.

Go to the area you want to insert the copied text, and place the cursor in that spot, by pressing down on the bottom left of the track pad for just a second, then let go. Now, hold down the “Command” key, which looks like a butterfly, then, while holding it down, press the “V” key. Your text is now pasted.
