THE #1 THING I AGREE WITH 100% – YOU SHOULD LEARN AND USE AT LEAST A FEW KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS!

Why Use Keyboard Shortcuts?

When I’m in the flow of writing, there’s nothing worse than having to lift my fingers from the keyboard, grab the mouse, and click to select, copy, cut, paste, or format text, or to save or print a document. But in most cases, my hands never actually need to leave the keys to take care of these things. I use keyboard shortcuts instead.

Every Mac application offers some keyboard shortcuts. The beauty of word processing apps is that these shortcuts are usually (but not always) consistent from app to app. You don’t have to memorize all these commands, but it’s smart to memorize the ones you use most often. Following are a few you’re likely to use every day, and they almost all work in Word, Pages, and Google Docs:

If you do nothing else, just memorize a few of these especially CUT & PASTE…. (C & V) in red

• Command-A selects all the text in your document.
• Command-B bolds text.
• Command-I italicizes text.
• Command-N creates a new document (not in Google Docs).
• Command-P prints your document.
• Command-S saves your document.
• Command-U underlines text.
• Command-C copies selected text.
• Command-V pastes text.
• Command-X cuts selected text.
