Excellent explanation on key shortcuts. Very well asthetically explained. I learnt how to invoke Siri using keyboard shortcuts from your video. Thank you
Thanks for the review; didn't know that the [cmd+N] and [cmd + ~] were global keyboard commans - I was a little confused on [cmd + ~] vs [cmd + `] ... so I had a brief conversation with OpenAI and this was their response... On a Mac keyboard: Cmd + ~ : This shortcut triggers the Spotlight search [⌘ + Space bar according to [2]. The tilde (~) key is located next to the number 1 key. **Cmd + ** : This shortcut invokes the “Show Previous Window” function [2]. The backtick key (), also called the grave accent key, is located above the Tab key on your keyboard.
Great review. I knew most, but not, all of these. The idea of holding a key then pressing the other is what I needed to hear. When using 3 keys simultaneously, I always try to hit all at the same time. Now I can relax. Thanks Dylan. As to the power tip, I recently learned that you can use the mouse to directly select an app rather than having to cycle through the list.
Yeah, learning NOT to try and hit them all together is a BIG lesson. And I like the mouse trick also... but I figured for the average user 3 levels of the Power Tip was plenty. It has also been mentioned that you can quit apps right from the App Switcher (which I also use frequently). Thanks for watching! I love it when POWER USERS check out my videos!!!
Hi Dylan. 👕🇮🇹😎 here. I really loved this one. Only you could present the “key codes” this way. So easy and beautifully explained. I really enjoyed that. Great job again. P. S. : Would you know of or recommend an easy and not expensive College App for pictures? Thank you. Stay safe Sincerely your 👕😎🇮🇹❤️ ( Winnipeg is currently in a heatwave) Love it. 😎👕
Turbo Collage is a great app. Simple and affordable. Get it on the Mac App Store. There's a free lite version and a full version. The full version is a one-time price!
I know this will sound pedantic, but ... key codes are numerical representations of the pressed key used by the OS to determine what you typed and in scripts to send key presses to the OS. For example, 49 is the space key and 39 is the double quote. Better terms are keyboard shortcuts (Apple's preferred term), key combo, combinations, hotkey, and similar. This might be important for some because any search for more shortcuts using "keycodes" may not yield desired results. Just sayin'.
So, unfortunately, on Mac the clipboard only holds one item at a time. I use a third-party app called Paste to give it greater functionality... but it's not built-in on the Mac.
Yeah, that was a difficult choice. Shortcuts mean many different things, from Siri Shortcuts to text shortcuts and more. Keycodes only mean one thing, key combinations. I didn't want to use both in the video, so I rolled the dice and decided to use the proper term keycodes, but then hedged my bet, adding the word shortcuts to the title. I went back and forth on that a lot. I may have made the wrong choice, and may adjust the thumbnail to use the other name to see if it improves the video's traction. Thanks for asking, great question!
What are you trying to do? Remember you have to have the other windows open. cmd + tilde will not work if there are not additional windows open, and it will not work if they are minimized or hidden. Let me know the specifics and I am sure we can figure it out...
One last thing with your power tip that you didn't mention. When you bring up the programs, you can toggle "Q" and close multiple programs one after another.
So true... but I thought 3 separate tips on top of each other was enough... I use the ⌘ + Q all the time from the app switcher! Thanks for mentioning it fellow POWER USER!!

Glad it was helpful!
Command + Tilde was a game changer
I know... so helpful, right?

Thank you... You are right on the money.
that’s the reason i clicked it
Are there any shortcuts for shutdown or restarting the computer?
Pressing the power button will prompt a shutdown or restart... holding the power button down will turn it off.
Is there a keyboard shortcut equivalent to the Windows V in Windows to bring up all the items in my clipboard?
So, unfortunately, on Mac the clipboard only holds one item at a time. I use a third-party app called Paste to give it greater functionality... but it's not built-in on the Mac.
@@TheMacWhisperer Thank you very much for your answer
I am curious why you called them “key codes” in the video, but used the more common term “shortcuts” is in the video title.

Hi. Command + Tilder not working on my Mac
What are you trying to do? Remember you have to have the other windows open. cmd + tilde will not work if there are not additional windows open, and it will not work if they are minimized or hidden.
Let me know the specifics and I am sure we can figure it out...
In Word, what is the Mac keyboard command to jump to the beginning or end of a document?
⌘+fn + ← (left arrow) = Beginning of document
⌘+fn + → (right arrow) = End of document
A little easier: ⌘↑ | ⌘↓
One last thing with your power tip that you didn't mention. When you bring up the programs, you can toggle "Q" and close multiple programs one after another.

@@TheMacWhisperer you're really becoming my favorite mac guy
Thanks!
