More Essential Skills
This book has already examined dozens of important skills, including Previewing a File, Working in the User Library, Switching between apps, Sharing data from an app, and Printing. But some essential skills didn’t fit neatly in any previous chapter. Rather than leave them out, I’ve rounded them up in this chapter.
I’ll first cover skills that you can use in most apps: using keyboard shortcuts; Copy, Cut, and Paste; Opening Contextual Menus; and Working with Windows.
Next are a few techniques that I personally enjoy using (Sorting by List, Connecting with Wi-Fi, and Using AirPlay) or that seem especially relevant to the needs of a typical Take Control reader (Making a Backup Plan and Using Terminal).
