Apple Key + C , Apple Key + V

i have the problem of when i'm at work i have to switch back to control + c ect...

Best one is Apple Key + L when in safari - (windows version in IE is control + D)

Apple key + c and Apple key + v. Basically for common shortcuts like this, whatever the windows one was use Apple instead of ctrl.

Edit...too slow.

It's apple+c and apple+v. the apple button is also referred to as the command (cmd) button.

EDIT: Damn, I gotta learn to type with 10 fingers...

It's just the "Apple" key and c or v.

If you're constantly swapping between PC and Mac, one thing you can do is swap your ctrl- and command- keys, (under system preferences... somewhere... don't have a mac handy atm)

probably not the best of solutions if you want to get used to macs, but it can help

For future reference, if you think there is a keystroke combo for a certain function, you can look for it in the menu:

You mean ctrl + D?


I never use that to go to bookmarks lol

 

[Sicarius]

No, ALT-L (Or Apple-L) highlights the URL bar, so you don't have to move your mouse over and double-click on it.

Even worse, I have a Windows keyboard on my Mac right now, and the command-key translates to the Windows key (the one with the flying window on it.) So I have to push Window+C to copy, Window+V to paste, etc.

the longer my day at work (pc) the harder i have switching my brain to my Mac keyboard. I am getting to old for this. Gotta get my company on the Mac bandwagon.
