Your cool and useful shortcut for mac os x?

I use Hide Application the most.. I can hit “Command H” and the app and all windows associated to that app are placed in the apps icon in the dock.

spaces ftw!

a close second: expose “show all windows” assigned to mighty mouse’s scroll ball and to F11 on my MBP.

Is there any idea do action like “move the window to top left”?

I’m a big fan of Command-Shift-4, then Spacebar, then click, to take a screenshot of a window.

Also, Command-Tab to switch between applications and Command-` to cycle through the windows in foreground application.

Here is Apple’s official list of Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts.

I don’t know of any way to move a window to the top left, other than by dragging and dropping it there.

You could make a workflow in Automator, and then use Spark or something to assign it to a shortcut…

I use Ctrl+Alt+Command+S/M/C a lot, assigned with Spark. S = Safari, M = Mail and C = iChat. I also use F7, F8 and F9 often (iTunes-controls).

wow!! i am loving my mac!
mac os x 10 is so much nicer than the previous one! and of cos…it’s much more user friendly than windows!

how about a shortcut to re-arrange the opened windows/files? (cascade??)

I’m a big fan of Quicksilver – its like shortcuts on steroids and the steroids are on growth enhancements and the growth enhancements are naturally big boned.

@sferik – command+shift+F5 takes a whole screenshot, while with cmnd+shift+F4 you can do a part of the screen. Just to save you from a few rounds of keyboard twister…

@sferik, Something I just learned about command-tab is that you can send events to the application while it’s got focus. For example, you can do command-tab, then (without picking up the command key) command-q to quit the app.

How to close the application entirely? i mean when i click “close” -> the button on the top left, it will just minimize it… is there a way to “quit” it instead of minimize?

@tantaikooi: that would be Command + Q

@tantaikooi, You’re not alone as a Windows user who instinctively clicks the red droplet in the top/left of the window, thinking you’re closing the application. Macs work on a slightly different paradigm than Windows. In Window, the window is the application (though it can have sub-windows). In Mac OS, the window is more like an attribute of the application (though there are a few cases, unfortunately for consistency’s sake, where Mac apps act like Windows apps). The bright side of this is that as a Unix operating system, your Mac is happy to let dozens of apps sit in memory waiting for the next time their needed without taking a lot of CPU. [Translation: It’s OK to leave applications running, so don’t worry too much if you tend to hit the red droplet instead of invoking command-q!]

I also like Butler. Much like Quicksilver it is a shortcut program on steroids. I hit “ctrl + a” then “m” for mail, or “f” for Fire fox. and it sets itself up for that. VERY customizable.

As far as native OS X quick keys my favorite is SPACEBAR with a file selected. It gives you a quick look at the file. if it is a pdf you can page through it, if it is a movie you can watch it, if it is a picture you can preview it. Kinda neat.
