How to Give Commands with Mac Function Keys A Mac keyboard has function keys, just like a Windows keyboard, but the keys likely issue different commands in Mac OS X than in Windows. On a Mac, the commands assigned to function keys vary by the keyboard’s size and manufacturer. Check Keyboard and Mission Control in System Preferences for your settings. The table shows typical default commands for function keys in Mac OS X Lion. ( Note: These commands work only on Apple-labeled keyboards, except for the Turn on VoiceOver command, which works on any keyboard.). The Mac actually has several Show Desktop keyboard shortcuts in Mac OS and Mac OS X, and for Macs that are equipped with a Trackpad, there is an easy to use gesture to show the desktop as well. Let’s review the keyboard shortcut options for showing the desktop on the Mac. On a lot of Windows laptops and in many applications, the Ctrl-W command will close the active app, but in most cases, Windows users probably use Alt-F4. On Mac, it's command-W. To actually quit a Mac app, you'll have to use command-Q (command-w simply closes the window you're in). Navigating Mac OS X with Multi-Touch Gestures Multi-Touch gestures are moves that you make on a Mac’s trackpad to send Mac OS X commands, mostly for navigating the Mac OS X interface. When you switch to a Mac from Windows, adjusting to Multi-Touch takes a little practice, so this table is here to help you: Gesture Command It Performs Two-finger swipe Scroll (up, down, left, or right) Two fingers on keypad+click Right click (same as Control+click) Three-finger swipe Switch spaces or open applications Three-finger double tap Look up a word in the dictionary or on Wikipedia Four-finger swipe up Show Mission Control Four-finger swipe down Show all windows for the current application Four-finger pinch Show Launchpad Four-finger spread Show Desktop. Top Mac OS X Hints for Windows Users Windows users who have made the switch to Mac OS X have some new mouse clicks, keyboard techniques, and touchpad (trackpad) gestures to learn. Have a look at some top tips for working on a Mac: • To right-click when using a single-button mouse, hold down Control and then click. • To right-click on a laptop or track pad, click with two fingers resting on the trackpad. Control-click also works. • The top row on Mac keyboards is used for special controls, such as audio volume and brightness. To use them as function keys, hold down the Fn key. You can reverse this behavior by choosing System Preferences@@→Keyboard. The Keyboard preferences pane also has a complete list of keyboard shortcuts. • Closing an application’s last window usually doesn’t close the application itself. • Apple applications and many third-party Mac applications save your edits automatically while you work and keep track of different versions. • To rename a file in a Finder window, click the filename once and then press Return. The filename becomes editable.
