More keyboard shortcuts
Mac Tip #96/09-April-2003

In Keyboard Shortcuts I mentioned some common keyboard shortcuts. These included cut, copy, paste and undo.

There are others which are also fairly standard and extremely useful:

• Command Q quits the program you’re using.
• Command W closes a window.
• Command O opens (file, folder or application, whatever).
• Command P prints.
• Command A selects all.
• Command S saves.

OS X only

Note: some applications may not honour these key combinations.

• Command M minimises a window into the Dock.
• Command H hides the current application.
