Learning useful shortcuts

You can perform many tasks in the Finder more quickly if you use keyboard or mouse shortcuts. For example, instead of clicking an icon and choosing Open from the File menu, you can simply double-click the icon to open it.

Follow these steps to learn keyboard and mouse shortcuts:

1Pull down the Guide menu (marked with the h icon) and choose Shortcuts.

The main Macintosh Shortcuts window appears.

2 Click one of the category buttons.

If you want to close the window, click here.

Click here to return to the main Macintosh Shortcuts window for more categories.

Another window appears, describing shortcuts for that category.

Click here to see the next window (if there is one).
