Time to boast your keyboard shortcuts knowledge ⌨

by
Knowing keyboard shortcuts is literally a super-power. I have been trying to avoid the mousepad and use shortcuts wherever possible. For the last few days, I've got habitual to (⌘ + 𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗟𝗲𝗳𝘁/𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄) for shuffling through Brave tabs. It's super convenient! Share your favourite keyboard shortcut or a productivity hack shortcut that very few people know 😉

Gmail shortcuts. Turn on keyboard shortcuts in settings, and press "?" in Gmail to get a cheat sheet. Saves a ton of time!

@pakile Just enabled this recently. Huge change

@zyqxd Yeah, @bling0 gave me that tips years ago.

@zyqxd @bling0 @pakile hack that no one talks about 😭 Going to GMail setting right away.

It really depends on what editor/app I am using, but here is one for any app on the mac: Pressing (⌘ + ~) switches between windows of the same app. I tend to use that a lot especially when I want to browse windows side by side. Most other non-app specific shortcuts I use are about moving windows around using Magnet for Mac.

@alexstyl Yes, "⌘ + ~" or "⌘ + Tab" are my go to shortcuts. Similarly, I use shortcuts for Rectangle to quickly move around and resize my screen

@alexstyl super helpful! @product_at_producthunt I, too, use ⌘ + Tab a lot and wow, Rectangle is such an amazing find for me. Gonna use it :)

F6 on Windows immediately selects your browser link bar so you can paste something on it. Shift + Esc can also bring up Chrome's built in task manager.

@between_team Ohh wow! That direct browser link bar hack is superb... 🙏

Alfred does a lot of work for switching between apps, files, and searching google. If possible, I'd like to find a hotkey for switching between mac workspaces / monitors (and have it focus on first app on the space). That would almost completely eliminate the need of a mouse!

@zyqxd Alfred is a life saver for sure! @chrismessina is an Alfred OG. What's your fav shortcut?
On firefox : ⌘ + Maj + T reopen the last closing tab. So u-s-e-f-u-l-l. 👀

Apart from the core OS shortcuts on a Mac, a grossly underrated feature is text-replacements. Typing "##" pastes my Zoom link, ### my calendly. @@ my email. You can set this for any kind of text. Gmail -- all the default ones -- c for compose, / for search are great, gi for inbox, gt for sent, for instance; additionally I configured s to snooze, A for archive Special call out: ⌘+opt+shift+v -- paste to destination format. @adityavsc -- no ctrl-tab?
