    Knowing keyboard shortcuts is literally a super-power. I have been trying to avoid the mousepad and use shortcuts wherever possible. For the last few days, I've got habitual to (⌘ + π—’π—½π˜π—Άπ—Όπ—» + π—Ÿπ—²π—³π˜/π—₯π—Άπ—΄π—΅π˜ π—”π—Ώπ—Ώπ—Όπ˜„) for shuffling through Brave tabs. It's super convenient! Share your favourite keyboard shortcut or a productivity hack shortcut that very few people know πŸ˜‰

    Wow! I didn't know this brave shortcut at all @adityavsc - Thanks for sharing, tried it before typing this comment ;) My keyboard shortcut that has become a productivity hack is "Shift (+) >" on Slidepad. Such a crazy timesaver to slide notes, WhatsApp, Slack, Asana or anything else right over other windows for quick glance or communication.

    Gmail shortcuts. Turn on keyboard shortcuts in settings, and press "?" in Gmail to get a cheat sheet. Saves a ton of time!

    Alfred does a lot of work for switching between apps, files, and searching google. If possible, I'd like to find a hotkey for switching between mac workspaces / monitors (and have it focus on first app on the space). That would almost completely eliminate the need of a mouse!

    @zyqxd Alfred is a life saver for sure! @chrismessina is an Alfred OG. What's your fav shortcut?

    It really depends on what editor/app I am using, but here is one for any app on the mac: Pressing (⌘ + ~) switches between windows of the same app. I tend to use that a lot especially when I want to browse windows side by side. Most other non-app specific shortcuts I use are about moving windows around using Magnet for Mac.

    @alexstyl Yes, "⌘ + ~" or "⌘ + Tab" are my go to shortcuts. Similarly, I use shortcuts for Rectangle to quickly move around and resize my screen

    F6 on Windows immediately selects your browser link bar so you can paste something on it. Shift + Esc can also bring up Chrome's built in task manager.

    Apart from the core OS shortcuts on a Mac, a grossly underrated feature is text-replacements. Typing "##" pastes my Zoom link, ### my calendly. @@ my email. You can set this for any kind of text. Gmail -- all the default ones -- c for compose, / for search are great, gi for inbox, gt for sent, for instance; additionally I configured s to snooze, A for archive Special call out: ⌘+opt+shift+v -- paste to destination format. @adityavsc -- no ctrl-tab?
