Many Mac owners swear that keyboard shortcuts help simplify their lives. If you’re new to a Mac, learning all the available keyboard shortcuts can be a real challenge. Quite a few of these shortcuts will now work in iPadOS, too, thanks to the Magic Keyboard available to iPad Pro users.
We’ve put together a list of the most important shortcuts you should know in macOS. You can also take a look at our list of the best Mac apps for even more Apple shortcuts.

Very cool, but these shortcuts are just the tip of the iceberg. macOS comes loaded with other handy keyboard shortcuts that you can use to speed up your workflow and increase your productivity.
Before we dive straight into the comprehensive list, look below to find a table of the most useful shortcuts in a table of their own.
These keyboard shortcuts are major timesavers once you start implementing them in your daily tasks. They’re also pretty easy to learn and remember because the majority of the shortcuts use the first letter of the command. For example, command + Q = quit.
Once you get the keyboard shortcuts memorized, you’ll save tons of time in your word processing tasks like typing, copying, and pasting. If you’re frequently using Pages (Mac’s word processing program) or Google Docs on your Mac, then you’ll become more efficient since most of the shortcuts are consistent across applications. These handy shortcuts (along with the ones we mentioned earlier in this article) will help to simplify your workflow and improve your task-completion speed.
Other useful keyboard shortcuts for typing symbols and accents and other special characters are also available.
Note: Not all of these shortcuts work across the board; each application differs slightly. The Finder app is a great example of one of these. If you try the Shift + Option + Right Arrow command, you’ll find that it does not work.
Keyboard shortcuts are available for anyone to use, but if you need more assistance using a computer, the Mac’s motor accessibility features can be enabled.
Anthropic has officially filed to go public, and buried inside its S-1 is a blunt warning about the technology at the center of its business. The maker of Claude AI says advanced AI could cause everything from large-scale cyberattacks and geopolitical instability to catastrophic or even existential risks for humanity.
The warnings take up a surprisingly large part of the filing. Axios notes that more than 90 pages, or roughly a third of the prospectus, focus on risk factors. Many of them warn about what could happen as AI systems become more capable and autonomous.
AI giants have a growing autonomy problem on their hands. A new Axios report has revealed that Anthropic's Claude recently accessed publicly available Georgia vote count without human authorization, sparking fresh concerns about AI security ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.
