For screenshots, you can choose to select just a part of the screen with Command + Shift + 4.

You can also quit an application that is locked by clicking the Apple menu in the top left, then selecting Force Quit. Your open programs will be visible, and the unresponsive one will appear in red.

Command + Shift + 4 gives you a partial screenshot.

I like the fact you can drag’n'drop files onto the application of your choice to open the application with that file already in place.

ALT + CMND + ESC is for ‘force quit’. Use this like ‘CTRL-ALT-DEL’ when wanting to kill an application that isn’t responding (which happens RARELY on a Mac).

These are but a few……

Some things like F11 for exposing the desktop by spreading away the windows, F12 to open the dashboard.

Ctrl + Option + Apple key + 8 > This will invert the color of the screen.

Try it and then share it if you got it

I have been exploring new things in my mac since months so have learned a lot till now!
