How to Use Keyboard Shortcuts on Mac: The Complete Guide
Knowing how to use keyboard shortcuts on Mac is one of the simplest ways to work faster and stay focused. Instead of constantly reaching for your mouse or trackpad, you can copy, paste, switch apps, take screenshots, and navigate text — all without lifting your fingers from the keyboard. Whether you are new to macOS or switching from Windows, learning Mac keyboard shortcuts will streamline your workflow and help you accomplish tasks more efficiently. And when combined with the right productivity tools, like those highlighted in our guide to the best productivity apps for Mac, you can take your efficiency to the next level.
According to this study, people waste an average of 2 seconds per minute by switching between mouse and keyboard — that’s 3% of your workday! Learning just one keyboard shortcut could save you several hours each year. And for those who work on a computer for eight hours per day, keyboard shortcuts can save up to 8 workdays per year. Not to mention the fact that using keyboard shortcuts can also make you happier, because you are less likely to be interrupted by having to navigate menus and can thus stay in a “flow” state for longer — similar to the Flowtime Technique — which is known to be beneficial to work satisfaction.
In this article, we’ll explore some essential Mac keyboard shortcuts and provide tips on how to discover and remember them to boost your productivity, to help you be more efficient, productive and happy at work!
