A couple of cool Mac shortcuts.
Just now, while looking for the shortcut to force shutdown of my mac i stumbled across a couple of cool shortcuts for Apple’s Mac OS X.
firstly while your CMD( / apple / win) + Tab’bing through open applications if you hit “q” the currently selected application will be quit. this in the long run becomes a great way to close multiple applications in quick succession.
The other shortcut involves cycling though windows in an app with more than one window open. You can achieve this by pressing CMD( / apple / win) + the “`” (back tick / ~) key located just above the tab key.
Im putting these here so as to not forget them in the future, and it also means that the all you other users out there can also benefit from these shortcuts.
To shutdown gracefully the command is command-option-control-eject , however i still haven’t found the force shutdown command. If you know it, leave a comment.
