Mac keyboard shortcuts and other tips

Mac keyboard shortcuts and other tips


Ive just bought a Macbook (13.3" aluminium, 4gb ram, lovely | battery, non-backlit keyboard, less lovely) and cos Ive always been a Windows user theres a lot that is new to me.

Before I give up and install Bootcamp Ill probably discover a bunch of things that Ill want to remember. So Im going to record them here.
I definitely need a comprehensive reference to Mac keyboard shortcuts. Im sure there are plenty out there.
Its amazing how disabling it is not knowing all the keyboard shortcuts that ones gotten so used to over time. I shall battle on :)
Here is a list of URLs with keyboard shortcuts.
