Chapter 10. Working Faster with Shortcut Commands

Using pull-down menus from the menu bar is the most straightforward way to control your Macintosh, but it's not the only way. Since the two-step process of clicking a pull-down menu and then clicking a command can be cumbersome, your Macintosh offers three different types of shortcuts to help you choose commands faster:

  • Keyboard shortcuts

  • Buttons

  • Shortcut menus

Project goal: Learn how to choose your favorite commands quickly using a shortcut rather than the menu bar.

What You'll Be Using

You'll be using the following:

  • The Finder

  • The TextEdit program
