Thank you for the streamlined format! The information was very clear, especially for someone Mac-illiterate like me. Cool accent, too!

Excellent tutorial. Well presented, great graphics and good video quality. Well done.

That is one of the most informative presentations of shortcuts, well done, keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@lauramatav]

Wow..great tutorial..to the point and love the examples. I am an hp owner thinking of getting a mac but was scared of relearning all the short commands. This made it very easy. Thanks!

[@ScrubsIsee]

As a long term macuser and OS X teacher i have to admit: Excellent work! I really like the visual presentation and overall style. Very clear sound, very smooth voice and useful tipps for beginners. @All: Please keep in mind, that most of the shortcuts work also in other languages. But most shortcuts with glyphs involved (instead of letters) are located differently depending on the keyboard and language selected. For example: Switching through opened windows of one application on a german keyboard is [CMD] + [>/

[@ScrubsIsee]

***** you're welcome. Maybe one day you can show us some of the „less often needed“ shortcuts like [CTRL] + [left or up/down arrow]. Just found out today. Funny … is.gd/BXC6pA

[@ScrubsIsee]

***** Appreciated anyway. Regards to your wife.

Salma hayek XD an Arabic accent really I don't think that to be honest

[@patenztrio5037]

***** Haha, its Spanish then, but I also thought Greek because I worked with a Greek guy with almost the same accent. But I have to say, your video is reeeeeealy great!!!! Especially what symbols are used for the option key! Please do more videos like this! Perhaps with a different mike like the the t.bone SC440. Do you use a Sennheiser headset?
