Use spotlight to open Apps

In your daily life with a Mac machine, how many times do you open applications from the Application folder or the Launchpad? If your answer is all the time then you need start thinking to utilise the very powerful spotlight - just click the search icon at the top right corner.

The keyboard shortcut to open spotlight search is by press Ctl + Space.

To open an application you have already installed, just simple type the name of the application in the search box, for example iPhoto and then press enter. It's that simple and just take you seconds to launch an app. If it saves you 5 seconds a time, then image how much of your life could be saved in a year :-)

Here are some other shortcuts I use all the time:

1. cmd + left/right arrow key - move cursor to left/right of a text line
2. cmd + up/down arrow key - move cursor to top/bottom of a page
3. cmd + ,  - open application preferences
4. cmd + shift + 4 - take a screenshoot, you do not need any snap applications to do it for you
5. cmd + shift + 3 - take a full screenshot
6. cmd + shift + /  - show help menu, and then you can type the menu name to quickly locate the menu option from the top menu
7. cmd + w to close tabs/windows on any apps (btw, the alt+F4 key in windows system is just no use, the two keys are too far away)
8. cmd + q to quit a application
