Beginner

In closing, this page is about a seemingly simple cheatsheet for the beginner for macs.

If you are transitioning from Windows or Linux here are a few pointers.

cmd is the alternative of Ctrl

So the common shortcuts now are: cmd + S, cmd + C, cmd + V, cmd + X

cmd + spacebar - Spotlight Search (to search for installed apps on the MAC)

Two finger click - is the equivalent of Right-clicking

Three finger swipe to the right or left -> switches between desktop screens

Three finger swipe to the top -> switches between open apps on the desktop

cmd + shift + 3 - Full screen screenshot

cmd + shift + 4 - Select screenshot
