#KeyboardShortcuts

Let's see if what I'm making is actually useful

What do you think of autogenerated shortcuts (that is, shortcuts start out with just the first character of the full app, command, etc. and any conflicts will get resolved by a strategy set by you)?

🔍✨ Behold! Mullvad Leta, the revolutionary keyboard shortcut list everyone was dying to find—because who doesn't love scrolling through an endless menu of search engines and countries? 😂 In other news, "Ctrl+F" wants its job back. 🚀👀

I developed keyboard muscle memory when I was a regular Windows user. Then again when I became a regular Mac user. And now my brain is scrambled because I use Linux in addition to the other two.

I finally had to resort to making and laminating a cheat sheet for all the weird things I want to type...

Next problem: Having enough copies of this lying around where I need them. 🙄

I have another to share... Shift + F3. Look here to see what it does 👉 mindsconnected.tech/index.php?

Today's macOS keyboard shortcuts to remember:

FN + shift + A

This opens Launchpad to see all the apps. Useful if you don't use a trackpad.

CTRL + CMD + D

After selecting a word, use this key sequence to open the dictionary popup to show a definition of the highlighted word. Useful if you don't use a pointer device with "force touch”.

📣 Phanpy folks using non-QWERTY keyboards, now you can test this keyboard-layout-dependant shortcuts on dev site 🙇‍♂️ github.com/cheeaun/phanpy/issu

For context, currently keyboard shortcuts are keyboard-layout-independant (`e.code`). E.g. for a Dvorak keyboard layout, the physical `c` key is mapped to `j`, so it's confusing. Now with keyboard-layout-dependant shortcuts, it will listen to the produced key (`e.key`) rather than the code (`e.code`).

Tip #686

Choose which browser Keyboard Shortcuts can override web page shortcuts.

In addition to the browser being controlled with Keyboard Shortcuts, web pages can have their own set of shortcuts which can sometimes overlap with the browser’s shortcuts. In that case, shortcuts will trigger actions on the web page.

To give browser priority over shortcuts:

  1. Go to Settings > Keyboard > Browser Priority Shortcuts.
  2. Add shortcuts that should trigger actions in the browser, even when the web page uses the same shortcut.

One thing that Apple did that was really smart was dedicate one "Clover" key to OS-level commands. Microsoft copied that a few years later with their "Windows" (barf) key, but they couldn't lean on it, since everyone would have to change their memorized #keyboardshortcuts.

I'm surprised, though, that there doesn't seem to be a popular #Linux desktop that uses the extra key that way. Instead... it's just yet another modifier key.

Tip #679

Navigate Vivaldi Social using Keyboard Shortcuts.

If you habitually surf the web using only your keyboard, you’ll be glad to learn that in Vivaldi Social a lot can be done using various keyboard shortcuts.

To view the keyboard cheat sheet:

The shortcuts are always available, but depending on your keyboard you may also need to hold down the Shift key when using the shortcuts. For some actions, such as open post or reply, you first need to focus on the post. Use the Tab and up/down arrow keys for that.

Hi all, is there a keyboard shortcut in VLC for Mac to seek back/forward within a track? The rewind/fast-forward media keys only switch tracks. #MacOS #Voiceover #Blind #Technology #VLC #KeyboardShortcuts

Ah yes, another groundbreaking revelation about how to press buttons on a computer 🍏🔍. Who knew that pressing F2 could move keyboard focus to the menu bar? 🤯 And hold onto your hats, folks, because typing letters jumps to a menu title! 🚀💥 Meanwhile, command prompts are still the edgy rebellious teenager of the macOS family 🙃.

Why on earth would you use Q?

I never use the “right Shift" key on my keyboard, so I've repurposed it as a Hyperkey (Command Option Control Shift), thanks to

(I have a HyperKey assigned to CapsLock as well.)

Today’s #TerminalConfiguration victory, fixing ctrl+left, ctrl+right, alt+left, alt+right - no more weird 5D, 5C, 3D, 3C codes:

```bash
# .bash_profle addition, fixing ctrll+left and ctrl+right
bind '"\e[1;5D": backward-word'
bind '"\e[1;5C": forward-word'
# Do same for alt+left and alt+right:
bind '"\e[1;3D": backward-word'
bind '"\e[1;3C": forward-word'
```

```zsh
# .zshrc addition, fixing ctrl+left and ctrl+right
bindkey ";5C" forward-word
bindkey ";5D" backward-word
# Do same for alt+left and alt+right
bindkey ";3C" forward-word
bindkey ";3D" backward-word
```

I also turned off the ctrl+cursor macOS Mission Control #KeyboardShortcuts as I'd rather have these available at the #CommandLine

Other than the famous "Ctrl + Alt + Delete", what are some handy shortcuts that you know and make use of on an occasional basis? (this can also include things for the ) mindsconnected.tech/index.php?

Tip #600

Create Keyboard Shortcuts for opening and closings individual Web Panels.

Keyboard Shortcuts are excellent for opening and closing Web Panels for a quick glance. But before you toggle Web Panels with Keyboard Shortcuts, you need to assign each panel its unique shortcut.

To add Keyboard Shortcuts:

  1. Go to Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts > View.
  2. Find the command “Web Panel 1”.
  3. Click in the box next to it.
  4. Press the keys you want to use for the shortcut on your keyboard.
  5. Repeat with other Web Panels.

Then whenever you want to open one of the web panels just use the shortcut for both opening and closing the panel. If you already have one open, the shortcut will switch focus to the one you need.
