Want to take screenshots or quickly hide apps on your desktop? There’s a quick macOS keyboard shortcut for that—and plenty of other things, too! In this video, Macworld’s Leif Johnson shows you 10 great shortcuts (and variations on them) that will save a lot of time.
Master them, and you’ll rarely need to reach for your mouse. Most of these are Mac-specific, so we’ve avoided familiar cross-system shortcuts for copying, pasting, and things of the sort (although you should totally learn those, too).
⌘+Space bar: Open the Spotlight search tool
⌘+Q: Immediately quit any app
⌘+Shift+5: Take screenshots or record the screen
⌘+H: Hide apps instantly
⌘+Tab: Quickly switch between active apps
⌘+~: Switch between different windows in an app
⌘+L: Quickly access the search/address bar in Safari
⌘+Option+Q: Force-quit an App
⌘+Control+Q: Immediately lock your Mac
Click+Space Bar: Use Quick Look to preview files
