MacLaw Member, Jeffery Rataiczak of InCamera Investigations has provided this list of keyboard shortcuts using the Option key and the Command key (the Command Key is sometimes called the Apple key.) Obviously, depended upon your particular machine and OS version, your results may vary slightly. Also, while you are in an application (e.g., word processor, database, etc.), these key combinations will produce different results. Nevertheless, this is a good way to spend some time learning a little bit about the things your keyboard can do.
Thanks, Jeff!
