![]() ![]() A quick pair of keyboard shortcuts overrides these behaviors to be standard to your shortcut preference. By default many other applications use Command-Option-Brace (curly brace, or square bracket?). For Apple's application, the shortcut is likely to be Command-Option-Arrow Key. For example, Firefox, Textmate, and almost every other application that has tabbed windows provides a shortcut on the keyboard to switch between tabs (left and right). I find this to be immensely useful, especially in overriding the shortcut behavior of a variety of third party applications that have the same function. Not only are there a staggering number of predefined shortcuts (some aren't even advertised, but we'll get to that in a moment) but also, for any menu item, a custom shortcut can be defined within System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts (the right-most tab). Keyboard shortcuts are one of my favorite features on Mac OS X and something that I think few operating systems get right. This is just the quickest of tips for everyone using Mac OS X.
