Read This - MacOS (OSX & Above) Keyboard Shortkey
Always visiting the menu bar with your mouse when you want to apply a common function? Isn't it wasting a lot of your time? Well, for many common tasks you don’t need to. You can use Keyboard Shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts use the modifier keys (the 3 to the left of the spacebar, shift, Fkeys and sometimes the Caps Lock) in conjunction with intuitive letter keys. You hold down the modifier key(s) and then type the letter. You don't hit them all at the same time. For instance, to save in almost every program all you need to do is hold down the command key (the key on either side of the spacebar, the one with the Apple on it) and type S (cmd+S). Here are the list of the MacOS Keybord Shortkey :
Four Most Common Modifier
- cmd - the command key, the one right next to the spacebar. There is one on each side of the spacebar and they both act identically.
- opt - the option key, well labeled
- ctrl - the control key, well labeled
- shft - the shift key, well labeled
They must be used from the Finder, not from an application.

- Left Arrow (in icon view only)Select an icon to the left

Booting Up Shortkey - Control Your Machine While Booting Up:
- shft - allows you to start up your Mac without extensions.
- C - allows you to force your Mac to boot from an internal CD-ROM drive.
- cmd+opt - tells the Mac to rebuild the hidden Desktop file. This should be done periodically for good preventative maintenance.
- cmd+opt+shft+delete - tells the Mac to skip the first device in the SCSI chain. This comes in handy when you want to force your Mac to boot from an external drive.
- cmd+opt+P+R - clears the parameter RAM. One of those things to do when things aren't right and you can't think of anything else to try. This clears things like date and time, location, etc.

- opt (OS9&10) - will give a choice of which drive or volume to boot from
