Basic Mac Productivity

I have used Windows much longer than Mac. But I have had the opportunity to start using Mac more recently. At first, it felt like I could kind of use Mac, but at the same time it was strange.

For example - open few chrome windows and try to move tab between. Not that easy when you are used to command + tab and ctrl + tab works differently. Or windows resizing with shortcuts - this does’t exist at all without external programs.

But I got used I started to like mac system, here are my most common mac shortcuts for windows navigation and switching between apps:

Mac

command + space - to launch spotlight search, usually for opening new application

command + tilde - to switch between same type of application.

command + tab - to switch between different type applications.

Windows management using rectangle:

ctrl + option + arrow-key - to move window around

ctrl + option + enter - to maximize window
