  Switching applications in a flash

I was apprehensive when I first switched from PC to Mac. But finding out the shortcuts you know too well in Windows to also be in Mac made me sigh in relief, like the nifty keyboard shortcuts.

Ordinarily, we can use the mouse or keypad to navigate and choose the application we want to open. But to do away with the mouse and a quicker way to switch applications is to use the keyboard shortcut.

Windows have the ALT + TAB to switch between applications.

Mac has its own way, but something similar. On your keyboard, just press on the ⌘ + Tab and you will see something like the pane below. Just keep on pressing the Tab key while holding the ⌘ key until you get to your desired program.



There you go! You can easily switch application in a jiffy.

Hello!

Butterfly +

The same as ALT + on most keyboard short cuts that you PeeCee patrons use are Butterfly + on a Mac. Notice that WinDoze keyboards moved the ALT key next to the spacebar so it would be just as easy.

Just keep telling yourself it was done on a Mac first. Now what would it be?

Did you read my post about the CONTROL/scroll to zoom that just appeared with the OSX update? No bother you just read it here.
