The macOS operating system offers support for a very diverse palette of keyboard shortcuts that can help you, for example, when working with text, browsing the Internet in Safari or when launching multimedia files. Today we will introduce several useful keyboard shortcuts that will save a lot of work, especially for those who work in Google Chrome on Mac - but of course not only for them.

Keyboard shortcuts for Google Chrome on Mac

If you already have Google Chrome running on your Mac and want to open a new browser tab, you can do so quickly and easily with a keystroke cmd + T. If, on the other hand, you want to close the current browser tab, use the shortcut Cmd+W. You can use a keyboard shortcut to move between Chrome tabs on Mac Cmd + Option (Alt) + side arrows. Are you lost halfway through a page reading a website and want to go somewhere else? Press the hotkey Cmd+L and you will go straight to the address bar of the browser. Open a new (not only) Chrome window with a key combination Cmd+N.

Keyboard shortcuts to make your work easier on your Mac

If you want to hide all applications except the one you have open at the moment, use the key combination Cmd + Option (Alt) + H. On the other hand, do you want to hide only the application you are currently using? A keyboard shortcut will serve you well Cmd+H. Use the key combination to exit the application Cmd+Q, and if you need to force quit any of the apps, the shortcut will help you Cmd + Option (Alt) + Esc. A key combination will be used to minimize the current active window Command + M. If you want to reload the current web page, a shortcut will help you Cmd+R. If you use this shortcut in native Mail, a new window will open for you to reply to the selected message instead. It is definitely worth mentioning the abbreviation that most of you are probably familiar with, and that is it Cmd+F to search the page. Do you need to print the current page or save it in PDF format? Just press the key combination Cmd+P. Have you saved a bunch of new files to your desktop that you want to save in a new folder? Highlight them and then press the key combination Cmd + Option (Alt) + N. We certainly do not need to remind you of the shortcuts for copying, extracting and pasting text. However, it is still useful to know the shortcut that inserts the text without formatting - Cmd + Shift + V.
