Best MacBook Keyboard Shortcuts for Productivity!

The compliment I receive the most at work - other than my charming smile 😉 - is how I'm able to navigate my work laptop almost entirely using my keyboard. In this video, I share the Best Keyboard Shortcuts for Productivity that you can (and should) use as a student or working professional!
⌨️ Learning little-known, rarely used, keyboard shortcuts is not very helpful. So not only do I go through common (i.e. impactful) Mac keyboard shortcuts application across platforms, but also app-specific ones in Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Chrome!
Getting used to these keyboard combinations should take a week or less and once you're familiar with all the shortcuts from how to hyperlink to add rows and columns in Google Sheets, you'll be impressing your colleagues in no time with these seemingly crazy computer hacks and tricks 🤯

The hyperlink one I didn’t know before and feels unnatural I think

@@livialone3199 Practice makes perfect 😉

none of these shortcuts are that clumsy, but The most unnatural shortcut in all of macOS is Cmd,option,shift,8 to reverse contrast (must be turned on in General

Thank you!! Hope you found a few of the shortcuts helpful 😁😁

[@thathsaraamarasinghe6774]

For Windows users, I recommend Windows Logo Key + (Any number) to open apps pinned to your taskbar in that specific order. For example, I have my File Explorer pinned to the Taskbar first (right next to the search button) so I just press Win + 1 to open my Files app. Alt + Tab = Switching between apps Ctrl + Pg Up/Down = Switch between browser tabs Win + Tab = Open Task View Ctrl + Shift + N = Create New Folder in File Explorer/Desktop Fn + F2 = Rename a selected File/Folder Win + L = Lock your PC All these are for Windows users 👆 Thank me later Peace.

Wow, Jeff you’re doing it again, this video is amazing! My favorite is at 2:11 CMD+SHIFT+V where I’ve literally for had to copy paste text to a text editor and from their copy again to get rid of the HTML formatting and finally paste to the document. This one tip alone will save me a ton of time. Also amazed by the video editing, the 2 picture-in-picture with the top-view of keyboard along with the keystrokes are amazing! 😆

[@JeffSu]

Thanks so much my friend! Yes copy without formatting definitely was a GAME-CHANGER when I was stealin- I mean, uh...researching and referencing online materials... 😉. The picture-in-picture took a while to setup but I'm happy to have learned it! It's called multi-cam editing in Final Cut Pro if you're curious!

[@Andrea_Dong]

As a college student, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V are the ones that feels the most natural to me while my least natural one is probably also Ctrl+Tab. It’s so awkward positioning your fingers like that! Anyways, thanks for the video, Jeff :P So update, I got the internship (well, one of them)! I’m still waiting to hear back from another company that I applied to and did the first round of interviewing for but worst case scenario is that I only have to juggle one instead of two internship commitments this summer haha. Thanks again! Your career advice and tips have been very helpful 😁

[@JeffSu]

That means CTRL TAB must be even worse for you 😂! Congrats on the offers Andrea! But you can only do 1 right? You’re not going to be working multiple internships at once?

[@Andrea_Dong]

Yeah, I can only take one since they're both full time. Just waiting to hear back from the second one now. Honestly though, I backed out of the first one because it seemed sketchy o~o

[@JeffSu]

@@Andrea_Dong whoa how so?

[@Andrea_Dong]

Well... I’m a little embarrassed to say this but it actually turned out to be a scam 😅 So in the beginning, I wasn’t very wary since it was through a job search platform that I was provided access to by my uni (it’s called Handshake, not sure if you’ve heard of it) but the process just got really abnormal towards the end. The breakdown of what happened was that after I got “accepted” (which I was really excited about), they emailed me pictures of a check for purchasing “training materials” and told me to deposit it through my mobile banking app. That started raising red flags since but since it wouldn’t really harm me to do so, I went ahead and did it. It would take a couple days to process but then they started pressuring me to pay this “vendor” through Zelle as soon as possible so that I can start my “training.” I told them that before the check settles, the funds would be a problem and asked if I could start my training later. Then I told my parents about it and my mom immediately told me that it was a scam and to stop corresponding with them. I contacted my uni’s career services and they looked into it and it turns out that while the company was a real one, the listing on Handshake was fake. It was really upsetting finding out that the internship experience I was looking forward to so much was a lie but I’m glad I was able to learn a hard lesson (about not being too trusting of others even if I connected with them through a warm connection which was my uni in this case) without losing anything like my hard-earned money or even sensitive personal information. Still feeling bummed about it though... 😞

[@Andrea_Dong]

I know for certain that the second internship I applied to is real though 😆 if both had accepted me (and were legitimate) then the second one would have been my first choice. However, I’ve only went through the first stage of the interview and I haven’t heard back from my interviewer about the second round. Do you know of any ways to gently probe them about it without coming off as pushy? I have an idea that I’m going to try out but I just thought that maybe this can be a potential video? :P

I use auto-hotkey to map my CapsLock key to a function key. So I jump around tabs in Chrome using CapsLock + 1 or 2 Capslock + T to open task manager + K to open up my autohotkey script + W to close the whole window + N to translate Dutch to English (and install a keyboard shortcut plugin for Google Translate and use many other shortcuts there) + F to translate French to English and the list goes on and on and on.... Main takeaway: AHK can do endless shortcuts!!! And I'm surprised by how much shortcuts that I am able to remember by heart

[@JeffSu]

Wow that's great! That's AMAZING actually! Thanks for sharing 😁

Thanks Jeff for that gmail shortcut for indenting bullets. That really made my day. Just thought sharing 2 which I use - 1. To lock the mac you can use command + control + Q. 2. To empty trash, if the finder application is open as the current window then command + shift + option + delete will empty the trash

Hi Jeff. A tip you could have used at 02:11 to switch tabs would be Command+ the position of the tab from left to right (or to move the tabs next to the tab you are on is Cmd + Opt + left or right arrow Hope that helps. Love the content; keep it coming! Adi

[@JeffSu]

Thanks! That's definitely an easier method than the one I shared!!

[@romydalapo1994]

I frequently encounter this problem, when clicking the lower right small box of the cell doesn't work properly. Either it doesn't perform its purpose or it stops when the neighboring column has blanks. So, my favorite keyboard shortcut in this video is CMD+R or D, this solves my problem and saves me time from dragging the formula down to the last row of the table. Thanks for a great and helpful vid Jeff!

[@JeffSu]

Love to hear how this solved a real world issue for you my friend! Enjoy 😁

[@RemedieX]

1:35 I live on PC and I'm all for shortcuts, and even though I type at 150+ wpm and know more shortcuts than I know what to do with... You're better off and faster just using the mouse to quickly highlight the word and type the new one. Just because you can use shortcuts to do something doesn't mean it's always faster than the normal way. If you're dead set on doing everything through the keyboard, it is nice to have the fastest option available via it, rather than having to delete the sentence lol. Anyways I don't mean negativity. This is a great video and I'm glad people are becoming more aware of the efficiency shortcuts can offer.

[@JeffSu]

Thanks for sharing your perspective my friend! Definitely didn't think it was negativity at all, we are all entitled to our own opinions! For me specifically I find it wayyy faster to not have to reach for the mouse and move the cursor since the keyboard is right there. Perhaps you're just faster in that regard 😂

[@visingh]

Are you me? I finally met my match! Haha, as a fellow shortcuts nerd I found this compilation to the point, I can confirm that using shortcuts does make you immediately attractive to everyone around you 😆From the list, Cmd + Option + +/- to add/remove columns and rows was new for me, thanks for that! I'd been using Opt + / to open the help menu and type add/remove row/column to accomplish the same thing, no more of that thanks to you! Some more Mac shortcuts I use to navigate text - 1. Ctrl + 'p' to go up a line and 'n' to go down 2. Ctrl + 'f' to go forward a letter and 'b' to go backward, Ctrl + b doesn't seem to work here in KZbin's comment editor for some reason though. 3. Ctrl + 'e' to go to end of the line 4. Ctrl + 'a' to go to the start of the line PS: I use part of my palm to press the Ctrl key at the left-bottom corner while using these shortcuts, feels more comfortable. Also, some KZbin player shortcuts just in case it helps anyone - 1. 'k' or 'spacebar' to play/pause 2. 'j' 10 sec forward 'l' 10 sec backwards 3. Shift + '>' or '

[@JeffSu]

Whoa, THANK YOU for these tips! Gonna use the text shortcuts immediately! The KZbin ones were mentioned by someone else and now I'm using them. I even have a watch youtube productivity video LOL

Instead of Ctrl+Tab for moving through tabs in Chrome, I love using Option+Cmd+(RightArrow or LeftArrow). Also works in VSCode tabs for the devs out there. :) Cheers, your interview prep videos helped me land my first dev position in a startup. Your videos are an example of what informative tutorials should be like. Keep it up.

Wait what. I had no idea cmd opt arrow keys worked. Going to try that later (I’m on my phone right now). And wow congrats Teodor!!!! That’s amazing to hear, thanks for making my morning 😏

[@RG-ot1vy]

@@JeffSu This method is cool cuz you could do it using only one hand using the right command/option buttons and your pinky on the arrow keys. Also another cozy method for a wider keyboard is Control + PgUp/PgDn; my fave cuz it’s more of an open stance, compared to contorting your hands with cmd/opt + arrow keys. In my eyes it’s a more closed off position,body language wise, even if it’s just you and your computer.

[@lewisdoyle]

I'm a MacOS and Windows 11 user, love them both. Windows handles this sort of thing so much more elegantly than MacOS. Having to press a three-key-shortcut to key shortcut to insert a bullet list instead of shift+8 and Windows auto formatting seems. The Home and End keys on Windows with or without the shift does all the sentence highlighting as well. Great and useful shortcuts, thank you. Things just seem far more complicated on Mac than on Windows sometimes.

Its very easy to copy lots of different texts and values and paste it in different places. And a plus is you can save even bunch of bullet points, tables and whatever you want in your clipboard.

Ever since I started watching and using some of Jeff's tips, I've not only been meeting all of the quotas, I've also gotten two raises. And sure enough, my teammates are very friendly with me because of it. One thing I would absolutely love to see is a video on how you format emails. Like in that Google photos video; you made a gif with all the photos from a work event. I'd love to see exactly how you format the emails to get them to look the way they do. I'm honestly so fed up with dropping little attachments for things like that.

OMG full of a TON of amazing tips. I stopped many times to take notes.. Thinking of making a laminated cheat sheet for quick reference when I am working. Do you happen to have a list of all/some of the ones you mentioned??

😅 mainly muscle memory now...sorry Shannon!!

Awesome video! Now, it's time to note them somewhere visible and use them a lot 😄 But I discovered that I am a productivity nerd 😆 because I have MX key and MX Master with Alfred (premium for more features 🔥). One software i felt in love with, is Fantastical. With a simple shortcut I can add a new meeting/event/reminder/... in my calendar.

[@JeffSu]

Oh man you got PREMIUM ALFRED? Just like Batman.... is it worth it? I’m torn!

[@alexandrecailleAC]

@@JeffSu Haha yeah, and I have to say that I save a lot of time with workflow as a designer. I have one, to generate a password, add Lorem Ipsum in my work, search in bookmark... Very handy! You should try it 😉 But like BetterTouchTool, I think I use the software at 10% of his possibilities and I'm working on learning more about it. And I use the "doc.new" shortcut in Alfred to launch it from anywhere.

The shortcuts have been very useful

since you are using Command + space to switch to 中文输入 , How else can you use the same command for alfred

😅 I misspoke in the video, it's CTRL+SPACE for language input, so it doesn't affect CMD+SPACE

Awesomeness! Being a shortcut ninja is always a bit of an ego booster, right? 😂 Fun fact: the squiggly line is called a tilde and in Portuguese we use it often for the nasalization of vowels (e.g. "mão", meaning "hand", would sound very different without the squiggly line 😁).

[@JeffSu]

Wow, thanks for teaching me something new today Adriana!!

@@JeffSu Happy to provide at least a little something in return for all your great info and tips!

[@unpackingideas]

Thanks so much for the video! One question I had though...I've had trouble finding any information about proper fingering for keyboard shortcuts....which fingers do you use for the command key? It looks like you are using your left thumb, but I would guess it would depend on the command? Thanks for the content!

[@JeffSu]

That's such an interesting question, I've never thought about which finger before 😂. But yes I use my left thumb for the CMD button

[@unpackingideas]

awesome thanks so much! I've been taking some online typing classes to fix some bad habits, but none of them include the best fingering for keys like command, option, control@@JeffSu

[@manoraj7248]

@Jeff Su - Hi, Thanks for all of this. What is the shortcut to delete (move to trash/bin ) an email in Gmail for Mac? In Windows, it works fine with #, but in Mac, none of the shortcuts works for me. It would be really appreciated if you provide the keystrokes for it.

[@JeffSu]

I think it's "Shift+3"

Another banger video! ~ = "Tilda Key" 😁 I use it all the time in my work. Do you have any videos on using Gmail for my other domain emails so ally email address can be handled in gmail?

[@JeffSu]

Aha - Tilda, gotcha. I'm not sure I understand the question, are your other domains using Google Workspace?

[@TheAntipreneur]

@@JeffSu Yeah. Sorry for not being clear. I want to see my business emails and Gmail all inside of Gmail. I have been experimenting with it but it's hard to organize it all. I was hoping you already had a video on it so I wouldn't be bugging yah.

[@juanmalorente7275]

How did you get the Google Sans font? Also, can you make a video about Google Drive Priority and Workspaces?

[@ricky9667]

I found out that you can actually use " Cmd + Shift + ] " to replace "Ctrl + Tab", and " Cmd + Shift + [ " to replace "Ctrl + Shift + Tab". This is actually a great alternative for the shortcut key mentioned in 9:18, but takes time to get used to it.

[@JeffSu]

That's a great point Ricky! I'll try that right now!

[@rubenkrupper5259]

You can actually like the video from the keyboard! Just smash tab until it's highlighted and hit enter ;)

[@JeffSu]

Nice to know! Thank you Ruben! Did you do that for this video? 😁

[@samuelitooooo]

I knew a ton of the shortcuts already like CTRL+K, but the first shortcuts in the video that move the cursor and highlight text, I really should get used to. (Also I wish CTRL+shift+V didn't remove the hyperlinks.) Unfortunately Mac OS doesn't have an amazing window manager, let alone one with keyboard shortcuts. (I may or may not be speaking with knowledge of Linux and tiling window managers like Pop! OS Shell.)

[@JeffSu]

Have you tried Moom or Rectangle apps on the mac?

[@samuelitooooo]

@@JeffSu I haven't. Good to know. Anything like it (and a launcher like Alfred) for Windows?
