key combos

one thing that i have really gotten into since converting to a mac user is the keyboard shortcuts. other than to move the cursor or scroll, i rarely find myself needing to use the mouse/trackpad. everything that i need to get to is a mere key combo away. opening system preferences, opening a finder window, launching applications, navigating within safari, executing expose functions, etc.

i'm not a big fan of minimizing windows on my desktop. why? because when apps are minimized, command+tab doesn't bring that window to the foreground which annoys me. you have to go to your dock to bring it back and that means extra mouse/trackpad usage. on my first day of orientation, i learned about the "hide" feature in osx and ever since i've been hooked. a simple command+H "hides" that app if i don't need it and allows me to command+tab it back when i do.

i feel like i have less wrist pains since using a mac and i think it's due to all the wonderful, maybe excessive, keyboard shortcuts that are available in osx.

back to the basics

sometimes when i see something like this, i think back to when i first moved here. i take a deep breath and for a moment i relive all the excitement and disbelief. i feel so proud and it makes me smile.
