Mac Useful Keyboard Shortcuts
Here are some useful keyboard shortcuts that i use for Mac OS
Switch between windows of the same Application
Command ⌘ + `
Change the window of the current app you are using, say if you have 2 windows open of your brave browser and want to switch between them you can press command plus tilda or Command + `
Take a screen area capture
Command ⌘ + Shift + 4
this will capture an area of the screen with a selection tool.
Copying, Cutting and Pasting
I found this quite annoying when switching from windows to mac and then back again, as i still do today. As i have to switch between windows machines and mac. I tried rebinding the keys, but it does not really work in all mac applications.
So rather than Ctrl + C its Command + C for copy.
Copy: Command ⌘ + C
Paste: Command ⌘ + V
Cut: Command ⌘ + X
There are an absolute ton of shortcuts available, you can see some (a lot) more here.
Remap Command and Control
Im just trying this to see if it makes my life easier from going between windows and mac, and it seems more natural to me to press control + c, and control + v but will see how this goes.
You can remap these in Preferences / Keyboard / Modifier Keys (do i even need control anymore?)

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
