Two more I find pretty helpful. If you hit Command + Option + Escape, macOS will open the “Force Quit Applications” window. This can be incredibly handy if an app freezes or is using too much of your system resources, to get it closed so you can keep using your computer. Finally, to open up an application’s settings, rather than clicking the app name in the top bar and then choosing settings, you can just hit Command + Comma. That will pull up the settings so you can make any changes you need.

There are a few different screenshot types on a Mac, but the simplest is just holding Command + Shift + 3. That will take a screenshot of your entire screen at one time. It will then pop into the bottom right corner of your screen, where you can click it to edit it, or just wait and it will save to your desktop. If you only want to capture a portion of your screen, don’t take a screenshot of your whole screen and crop it, just press Command + Shift + Four. Then you can select the portion of the screen you want in the screenshot, and it will save in the same way. Now, if you’re trying to capture just one window on your screen, there’s an easier way than trying to select exactly that window – just add the spacebar to that last command. So Command + Shift + Four – then you hit Space. Then you can click on the window you want to capture, and it will be a perfect capture of just that window and nothing else on your screen. Now there is one more step you can add to that depending on the screenshot you’re looking for. You’ll notice that last screenshot has a translucent shadow around it. If you want to get that screenshot without the shadow, you just hold Option while you’re clicking to capture that screenshot without the shadow. So Command + Shift + 4, then hit Space, then hold Option and select your window. Just like screenshots, the software for screen recording is built right into your Mac, so if you want to record video of what’s on your screen, just hit Command + Shift + 5, and that will bring up your screenshot tools. You can then select to either record just a portion of your screen or your entire screen, and once you click it will start recording. Stop the recording with the stop button in the upper right corner of your screen. And while you’re at it, if you
