There are hundreds of keyboard shortcuts for Mac users. There are Finder shortcuts, system shortcuts, application shortcuts and more. Many you can find by just looking through the menu bar for that application. You can find system ones by looking in the System Preferences under Keyboard.
But some keyboard shortcuts are more useful than others. And some are harder to remember than others.
So MacMost has compiled a list of our top “power user” keyboard shortcuts. Here they all are on a single PDF page, downloadable and printable: The MacMost Snow Leopard Power User Keyboard Shortcuts. Download it and pass it along!

Great job, Gary. This is very helpful.
YES, thanks, Gary!
Very useful, Gary. Thanks!
I especially like that you’ve included the symbols. When I first switched, finding out what those symbols meant was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Those who are new to Macs should find it invaluable.
Thanks, Gary! Another invaluable help – you totally focus on things that we can make use of every day, which is typical of my MacMost experience. My favourite, most-used Mac-helper site/app/podcasts.
I rarely use keyboard shortcuts, since it is from a past era when PC use required it. I disagree with the value. Gui has always been the mac way!
Wish I would have found this months ago. While using the mouse can be easier, keyboard shortcuts can be much more productive if there are tasks you normally do while your fingers are already on the keyboard. Having options is the key to a successful OS.
Thank you very much, a great job.
Thanks, Gary! My wife has just switched to a Mac after being a long time Windows user. This will come in handy for us both.
A Million Thanks Gary. I am new to the Mac(3 weeks) and this chart is Godsend.
It’s Novice users like us who need this type of Chart and help.
Keep coming up with stuff that will make us love our Macs more and ensure that we enjoy the Mac experience .
Thank you and God Bless you
Bravo!!
This shows you really care for people and want to make them have a Happy Computing life.
Just switched to the MAC for about a month, and was completely in the Dark.
This is extremely helpful. Keep them coming.
Apple should thank you for helping them increase their sales.
God Bless you
thanks for making my migration to mac (from pc) a lot easier…..god bless
Love this shortcut list.
This is great – thanks a lot. I have been using lots of keyboard shortcuts when I was a PC user, but never quite got the hang of it on the Mac. This definitely helps.
Gary;
Another very helpful tool from you. I learn more from you with your podcasts, website and book than anything else I have done. You’ve taken me from someone who loves the Mac to a power user – keep it up!
This is great Gary – my school is on Leopard, do u have any Leopard shortcuts to print out?
Many of these will work in Leopard. Sorry, I don’t have a Leopard version.
