  • Before we dive straight into the big list, we thought itd be nice to highlight some of the most usefulshortcuts in a table of their own. Not only are these the most handy of the bunch, but theyre also themost simple to remember many of the shortcuts use keys that correspond with the first letter oftheir function (command+q = quit, for example).

    Key combination What it doesCommand A Select allCommand C CopyCommand V PasteCommand X CutCommand S SaveCommand Q QuitCommand N NewCommand Z Undo/RedoCommand M Minimize windowCommand W Close windowCommand P PrintCommand F Find

    In addition to the shortcuts listed above, you should also learn the standard commands formanipulating text. If you do a lot of word processing and writing on your Mac, memorizing theseshortcuts will save you time by eliminating the need to take your hands off the keyboard.
