After you’re done reading, check out the entire list of Apple keyboard shortcuts here.
1. Copy and Paste
Much of the communication between you and your clients is done through email. Sometimes, you may keep client information in a separate document found on your computer. Using the keyboard shortcut Command + C quickly copies the text you want to move elsewhere, and Command + V allows you to immediately paste the text into the chosen document.
Tip: When you copy and paste text from an email or document and place it into a new format, the formatting or font may be different. Press Control + Command + V to paste the text in a notebook (such as TextEdit) and remove the formatting before placing it in a new document.
2. Switch Applications
When you are in the middle of a busy day of work on your computer, multiple programs are likely open at the same time. Rather than spending the time searching for a program you need at the moment, hold down “Command” and press “Tab” to display an icon of every open application on your computer. Select the program you need to work in by pressing Command + TAB until you land on the correct program.
