One of the most useful tools in the quest for productivity in office work is the use of keyboard shortcuts. The proper shortcuts can turn your keyboard from a writing tool into a command center for your computer.
For Apple users, the proprietary keys can be daunting at first, but they offer a host of great shortcuts to make your workday easier. There are the old standards, such as cut and paste, but you can take it so much further.
SEE: Top 20 Apple keyboard shortcuts for business users (free PDF download)
Here are some Mac keyboard shortcuts that will improve your workflow.
Command + Tab
This key combination will allow you to cycle through open applications. Start by holding down the 'command' key and pressing 'tab' to cycle through applications. Each time you press tab, it will switch to the next application in line.
Command + Spacebar
This shortcut simply opens the spotlight search and moves your cursor into the search bar. This is a great tool to help you quickly get to a buried file or folder.
Shift + Control + Power button
If you use multiple displays this will be especially helpful, as this combination immediately puts all displays to sleep.
Command + Shift + G
When you have a finder window open, use this shortcut to open a direct line to a specific folder. Simply put the folder path in the space the appears and it will take you directly to the folder.
Command + Bracket
By pressing 'command' and the left bracket ([) you can move to the previous folder. By pressing 'command' and the right bracket (]) you can move to the next folder.
Command + Shift + V
This shortcut is a life-saver for anyone who regularly works in Safari. This is the shortcut for 'Paste and Match Style,' which basically means you can copy and paste something without its previous formatting.
Command + Shift + 3
If you need to quickly take a screenshot of your full screen, this shortcut will do that, and save it as a file on your desktop. If you modify it as Command + Shift + Control + 3, it will save it to the clipboard.
Command + Shift + 4
If you want to screenshot a selection from your screen, this shortcut will give you the option to select what you want in a box and save it as a file on your desktop. If you modify it as Command + Shift + Control + 4, it will save it to the clipboard.
Command + Semicolon
Use this shortcut to find all misspelled words in a given document. By holding command and continuously hitting the semicolon (;) it will cycle through the misspelled words. Modify this as Command + Colon (Shift + Semicolon) to open the spelling and grammar window.
Command + F
This shortcut will find text in a document, using a search bar functionality.
Command + H
Hide the windows of the application that is currently running. Modify as Command + Option + H to hide windows of other applications that are running.
Command + Z
While fairly common, this shortcut is an important one. Use this to 'undo' the previous action.
Command + Shift + Z
This shortcut operates as a 'redo' functionality to put back the last change that was undone with an 'undo' function.
Command + Arrow
While working in text, use the command key with one of the arrow keys to move the cursor to different parts of a document. Using command with the left arrow key will move it to the beginning of the current line, while using it with the right arrow key will move it to the end of the current line. Using it with the up arrow will move it to the beginning of the document, while the down arrow will move it to the end of the document.
Control + D
For those who may have moved from a PC to a Mac, this shortcut will operate like the delete key on a Windows PC, deleting the character in front of your cursor.
Command + Accent (`)
In the currently frontrunning application, using this shortcut will activate the next window in line in that application. Modifying this as Command + Shift + Accent will activate the previous window in the application.
Command + Option + A
This is the companion shortcut for the commonly used Command + A shortcut for select all. Using Command + Option + A will deselect all selected items.
Command + I
Once you have selected a file or folder, use this shortcut to quickly get the information on the file or folder that is selected.
Option + Double-click
This shortcut opens a folder in a separate window, while simultaneously closing the current window.
Command + Delete
Using this shortcut will move any selected items to the trash. Modifying this shortcut as Command + Shift + Delete will empty the trash, and modifying it as Command + Shift + Option + Delete will empty the trash without the confirmation dialog box.

Reverses the effect of commands.
Access Methods
Toolbar:
Menu: Edit > Undo.
Shortcut Menu: With no command active and no objects selected, right-click in the drawing area and click Undo.
Command entry: Cmd-Z
Summary
UNDO displays the command or system variable name at the Command prompt to indicate that you have stepped past the point where the command was used.
Note: UNDO has no effect on some commands and system variables, including those that open, close, or save a window or a drawing, display information, change the graphics display, regenerate the drawing, or export the drawing in a different format.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Enter the number of operations to undo or [Auto/Control/BEgin/End/Mark/Back]: Enter a positive number, enter an option, or press Enter to undo a single operation
Number
Undoes the specified number of preceding operations. The effect is the same as entering u multiple times.
Auto
Mac Undo Redo Shortcut Windows 10
Groups the commands in a macro, such as a menu macro, into a single action, making them reversible by a single U command.
UNDO Auto is not available if the Control option has turned off or limited the UNDO feature.
Control
Limits or turns off UNDO.
Turns on the full UNDO command.
Turns off the U and UNDO commands and discards any UNDO command information saved earlier in the editing session. The Undo button on the Standard toolbar is unavailable.
The Auto, Begin, and Mark options are not available when None or One is in effect. If you attempt to use UNDO while it is turned off, the following prompt is displayed:
Enter an UNDO control option [All/None/One/Combine/Layer] <All>:
Limits UNDO to a single operation.
The Auto, Begin, and Mark options are not available when None or One is in effect. The main prompt for the UNDO command changes to show that only a Control option or a single step of the UNDO command is available when the One option is in effect.
Controls whether multiple, consecutive zoom and pan commands are combined as a single operation for undo and redo operations.
Note: Pan and zoom commands that are started from the menu are not combined, and always remain separate actions.
Controls whether the layer dialog operations are combined as a single undo operation.
Begin, End
Groups a sequence of actions into a set. After you enter the Begin option, all subsequent actions become part of this set until you use the End option. Entering undo begin while a group is already active ends the current set and begins a new one. UNDO and U treat grouped actions as a single action.
If you enter undo begin without undo end, using the Number option undoes the specified number of commands but does not back up past the begin point. If you want to go back to before the begin point, you must use the End option, even if the set is empty. The same applies to the U command. A mark placed by the Mark option disappears inside an UNDO group.
Mark, Back
Mark places a mark in the undo information. Back undoes all the work done back to this mark. If you undo one operation at a time, you are informed when you reach the mark.
You can place as many marks as necessary. Back moves back one mark at a time, removing the mark. If no mark is found, Back displays the following prompt:
This will undo everything. OK? <Y>: Enteryornor press Enter
Undo Redo Keyboard Shortcuts
Enter y to undo all commands entered in the current session. Enter n to ignore the Back option.
When you use the Number option to undo multiple actions, UNDO stops if it encounters a mark.
