Bonus: Additional Tips for Windows Users

Windows users might have a hard time finding a couple of useful gestures and keys that will make it a whole lot easier. To help things be easier, here are a few tips you should know.

• Right-click on a Mac is a two-finger tap on the trackpad or Control-click with a mouse.
• Spotlight (Cmd + Space) is your new best friend. Instead of browsing for apps or files, just open Spotlight and type their name.
• Cmd (Command) is the key you’ll use the most, not Ctrl like on a Windows computer. So copy is Cmd + C, paste is Cmd + V, and close window is Cmd + W.
• The Red Dot in the top left corner replaces the “X” found in most Windows apps, but it doesn’t always close the entire app; sometimes it just closes the individual app window. CMD+Q can typically be used to quit an app nearly entirely.
