Handy listing to have for the Mac users. Thoughtful post.

Wally this is great. I must have saved these keyboard shortcuts a dozen times over the years. To be honest I use most of them, not all. I don't think I ever knew how to see what was on the Clip-Board.

I have a question though, where did you find those Apple symbols like, ⌘⇧, ⌘←, ⌘→, ⌘↑, ⌘↓

I copied those Apple symbols from another person's post… like you can do now.

Okay, thanks. I was hoping you had found a font or webding or whatever they're called.
