5 About This Book Introduction Keyboard Shortcuts This book shows you how to use the keyboard instead of your mouse to efficiently operate your Apple Macintosh computer. Different key combinations called keyboard shortcuts provide fast ways to initiate different actions. Utilising keyboard shortcuts allows you to move simply and quickly on your Mac. Some Quick Theory This book is written exclusively for Mac OS X. Mac OS X means Macintosh Operating System Version 10 (there were nine other versions before this one) and it is the name given to the underlying software that makes your Apple computer work. There are two basic ways to give an instruction on your Mac. One is through pressing the keys on the keyboard and the other is by moving and clicking the mouse. This book guides you through hundreds of ways to command your Mac by pressing the keys. Note: Using a non-standard Apple keyboard or altering your default keyboard shortcut settings may cause some keyboard shortcuts to not function correctly. All keyboard shortcuts included in this book are current with the latest Mac operating system, OS X 10.5 Leopard. Understanding Symbols When you click the top menu bar on your screen, for example File, you will see a vertical menu drop down displaying various words and Introduction - About This Book Dean Pirera All Rights Reserved 1

6 phrases. These words and phrases are commands. To the right of some of these commands are groups of symbols and characters. Two examples are O or S. This notation is Apple shorthand for keyboard shortcuts - each shortcut refers to a specific command. It s important you learn what each symbol represents so that you know which keys to press when applying a shortcut. This is further explained on later pages in this book (see Key Descriptions page 3 and Apple Keyboard Symbols table, page 9). Included In This Guide This meticulously compiled reference guide covers core Mac OS X applications and contains over 1,000 quick shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts have been laid out in clear and precise information tables providing a solid framework for learning. Descriptions of all keys are included and there is a section on accents, special characters and troubleshooting keys. Each keyboard shortcut in this book has been tested and checked. Using keyboard shortcuts builds fast navigation skills and helps you gain confidence on your Mac. Applying even just a few of these shortcuts can save you time and money. This book will help you understand your Mac better and harness its full potential. How to Use Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts is the most comprehensive shortcuts reference guide of its kind available and is highly recommended for any Mac user. Acknowledgements My sincere thanks to Marcia Owen, Clayton Lloyd, Mark Harris, Desiree Delaloye, Serge Benhayon, Gail Fuller, John Saunders, Cameron Bell and Phil Wallace for their input into the design, editing and proofing of this book and above of all for their honest feedback throughout the entire project. 2 Introduction - About This Book Dean Pirera All Rights Reserved

7 Key Descriptions Types of Keys There are four kinds of keys: Character keys, Modifier keys, Arrow keys, and Function keys. The following descriptions explain these keys in detail including what the symbols marked on your Apple keyboard and within Apple file menus actually mean. Character Keys A character key sends a character to the computer. When the user holds down a modifier key, it alters the meaning of the character key being pressed. Character keys include letters, numbers, punctuation, the Space Bar, and nonprinting characters Tab, Enter, Return, Delete (or Backspace), Clear, and Esc (Escape). Space Bar In text, pressing the Space Bar enters a space between characters. When full keyboard access is turned on (see Full Keyboard Navigation with Universal Access & VoiceOver on page 22), pressing the Space Bar selects the item that currently has the keyboard navigation focus (the equivalent of clicking the mouse button). Tab The Tab key is used to insert a tab character when typing text. It can also advance you to the next item, window, box, option or menu within an application. You may need to test this one out to get the complete hang of it. Introduction - Key Descriptions Dean Pirera All Rights Reserved 3

8 Enter The Enter key, performs almost exactly the same function as the Return key. It does have some subtle differences but these go beyond the scope of this book. See Return key. Return Pressing the Return key moves the cursor to the next line when using any sort of text editor or processor like Mail or Word. It is also used to select the highlighted button in a dialog box menu. Delete This is the Backward Delete or Backspace key and on some keyboards is marked as a left pointing arrow or just delete. This key moves the cursor one position backwards, deleting the preceding character. Clear Pressing the Clear button in some applications will remove the selected data. For example, in Excel, it clears the data within a cell. This button is rarely used and is not found on laptops. Escape The Escape key, which is marked esc on most keyboards, can be used to dismiss pop up windows. In many cases, pressing it does nothing. However, it can sometimes get you out of trouble by making the computer go back or escape to a previous screen. Modifier Keys Modifier keys alter the way other keystrokes or mouse clicks are interpreted. When the user holds down a modifier key, it alters the meaning of the character key being pressed or what the mouse does when clicked. 4 Introduction - Key Descriptions Dean Pirera All Rights Reserved

9 Shift Hold the Shift key down to type capital letters and other alternate upper characters. The Shift key is sometimes used with the Option key and or the Command key to access extra keyboard shortcuts. Holding down Shift whilst moving the cursor in a range of text or list of files will highlight the selection so that it can be manipulated further with other actions. Caps Lock The Caps Lock key is a toggle key. When Caps Lock is on, every letter that is typed will be a capital letter. or alt Option This key has either the symbol, or the letters alt or both marked on the key. It is called the Option key and it changes the function of other keys which are being pressed at the same time. It also provides easier access to various accents and symbols. When you hold down the Option key and use a mouse, the mouse action can change behaviour. or Command This key has either the or symbol or both marked on the key. It is called the Command key and it changes what other keys do when pressed at the same time as other keys. Different combinations activate different keyboard shortcut commands in an application. Control The Control or Ctrl key is pressed with other key-combinations to activate various keyboard shortcuts. If you use a one button mouse, holding down the control key whilst clicking the mouse also gives you the same menu options found on the right click button of a two-button mouse.

10 Arrow Keys Apple keyboards have four arrow keys: Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Left Arrow, and Right Arrow. Arrow Keys Arrow keys are commonly used for navigating around within documents and for playing games. Before the use of the computer mouse was widespread, arrow keys were the primary way of moving a cursor on screen.arrows can also be used to move through a list of files or folders. They can be used alone or in combination with other keys. Function Keys Function keys alter the way other keystrokes or mouse clicks are interpreted. Help Pressing the Help key opens the OS X Help Viewer for some applications. Sometimes pressing it does nothing. Not all keyboards have this key. It is sometimes also labelled ins. Forward Delete This is another Delete key and is sometimes labelled del. This key deletes the character immediately following the cursor and is only found on desktop keyboards (i.e. not laptops). Home The Home key is primarily used in text editing applications to return the caret (the blinking vertical line) to the beginning of the line that the caret is on. When the text is not editable, the Home key is used to return to the beginning of the document, but does not move the caret. End The End key is primarily used in text editing applications to return the 6 Introduction - Key Descriptions Dean Pirera All Rights Reserved

11 caret (the blinking vertical line) to the end of the line that the caret is on. When the text is not editable, the End key is used to return to the end of the document, but does not move the caret. Page Up Page Down The Page Up and Page Down keys scroll the page up or down but leave the caret (that blinking vertical line) in its original place. Using the Option key with Page up or Page Down will cause the caret to be moved. When used with the Shift key it will create a selection. The scrolling distance varies between different applications. In cases where the document is shorter than the page, the Page Up/Page Down keys don t respond. Eject This key is self-explanatory. It ejects CDs or DVDs from slot and tray loading drives. With tray loading CD/DVD drives it both opens and closes the drive bay. Power The power button turns your Mac on. If the computer is already running, pressing the power button accesses the restart, sleep, cancel and shutdown dialog box, or will cause the computer to sleep or wake. If held down for 5-10 seconds it will force your Mac to crash/turn off. F1 F2... Function Keys Function keys are labeled F followed by a number, for example F2. These keys are found within the row of keys across the top of the keyboard. Macintosh laptops have F1 through F12 only. Most other Macintosh keboards have F1 through F15. fn key (laptops only) The fn key is found on laptops only. Its purpose is to give the user access to the Function keys (see Function Keys) that are by default, control buttons for the display, sound, number lock and disk drive. Introduction - Key Descriptions Dean Pirera All Rights Reserved 7

12 Back-Tab This is not a key. Back-tab is accessed by holding down Shift whilst pressing the Tab key. It reverses the direction of normal tabbing. See also Tab key. Mouse Click This is not a key. Mouse click in this book refers to the mouse button (or left button on a standard 2 button mouse). Num Lock The num lock key pertains only to laptops. This key is a toggle key and is also labelled F6. When num lock is on, the embedded keypad is activated. If you look closely at the laptop keyboard you will see small numbers and symbols painted on corners of 17 of the middle-right keys. Picture 1: laptop keyboard Toggling A Key A toggle key is any key which turns a specific function on or off by pressing it once. num lock and caps lock are examples of toggle keys. When a toggle key is pressed on, a green light called a led usually appears on or near that key indicating that its function is active. When pressed again the led switches off and that key s function is deactivated. 8 Introduction - Key Descriptions Dean Pirera All Rights Reserved

For example, to set up a bookmark called Foobar with the shortcut C, you would type: defaults write com.apple.safari NSUserKeyEquivalents { Foobar ;} If there is more than one shortcut you want to set up, just duplicate the code within the braces. This example would assign D to MacDevCentre and M to Macworld: defaults write com.apple.safari NSUserKeyEquivalents { MacDevCentre ; Macwor ld ;} Keep in mind that the MacDevCentre and Macworld bookmarks would also need to exist and point to their respective sites; this line simply sets up the shortcuts, not the bookmarks themselves.
