Power Mac users appreciate keyboard shortcuts because it is faster to press a couple of keys than to navigate lengthy menus.
If you have trouble remembering shortcuts, check out KeyCue, which displays a concise table of all currently available shortcuts.
But what about menu items that lack shortcuts?
Did you know you can create your own shortcuts?
Go to:
-
System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts
-
Click the + button
-
Choose an app from the Application menu
-
Fill in the Menu Title field
-
Click the Keyboard Shortcut field
-
Press your desired key combination, and click Add
You can even make shortcuts for Safari bookmarks, since they appear in the Bookmarks menu. If a shortcut doesn’t work, make sure you typed its menu title exactly right, including any punctuation, such as three periods for an ellipsis.
To edit an item, double-click its title or shortcut in the list. If you no longer want an item, select it and click the – button.
Easy, and customized just for you!
