I am a big fan of keyboard shortcuts. For me, it’s a much more efficient way to use the computer. I can execute common tasks without lifting my hands from the keyboard.
I’m used to performing certain operations on Windows XP with the keyboard. There are equivalent commands in OSX. The table below lists some of the more common keyboard shortcuts.
| Command | Windows Shortcut | OSX Shortcut |
| Copy | CTRL+C | Command+C |
| Paste | CTRL+V | Command+V |
| Cut | CTRL+X | Command+X |
| Undo | CTRL+Z | Command+Z |
| Select All | CTRL+A | Command+A |
| Switch between the open items | Alt+Tab | Command+Tab |
| Find | CTRL+F | Command-F |
| Delete (Move to Trash) | Del | Command-Delete |
| Delete (Permantently) | Shift+Del | n/a |
| Shutdown Dialog | Alt+F4 | Ctrl+Eject |
