There are hundreds of keyboard shortcuts for Mac users. There are Mission Control shortcuts, 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 for macOS 13.0 (Ventura). Here they all are on a single PDF page, downloadable and printable: The MacMost macOS Ventura Keyboard Shortcuts. Download it and pass it along!

Apple had a non-event today where they announced a brand new 10th-generation iPad, updates to the iPad Pro line, a new Apple TV, and release dates for macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16. (Downloadable video below for those having trouble with the Patreon video player.)

I took a cheap "toy" drone with me to Iceland and almost didn't get to even fly it. But thanks to the drone I got a beautiful photo, taken with my iPhone. And a lot of laughs. (Video download below for those having trouble with the Patreon video player).

Apple continues to add new features to the Magnifier app. Now in iOS 16, if you have a sufficiently new iPhone, you can have it tell you how close people or doors are, or describe the objects around you. This is great as an accessibility feature, but also is very interesting technology that could be used in other ways. Plus, it is fun to play with right now. <em>FYI, requirements according to iOS page at Apple's site: Available on iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th and 5th generation), and iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd and 3rd generation).</em> (Downloadable video below for those having trouble with the Patreon video player.)

Iceland was so beautiful that it moved me to finally switch on the ProRes video recording option of my iPhone 13 Pro. ProRes videos are much (much) bigger, high quality 4K video recordings. They are what you are supposed to use when doing professional work. But are they really that much better quality than regular 4K video, compressed as HEVC? Turns out they are. Huge price to pay in terms of file size though. (Downloadable video below for those having trouble with the Patreon video player.)
