Cool hidden Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts

[AntlionUK]

holding shift and tapping on f3 about 50 times is also fun, especially when someone else is usuing the computer

didn't do anything for me :/

Make sure you're holding down the function modifier as well, "fn".

still nothing, maybe i'm just a dick.

If being a dick prevented me from using my computer then, you wouldn't hear from me!

something amazing you can do with a few macs....
if you ever get the chance to get on someone your living withs macbook, turn on screen sharing in sharing system preferences
you need to know their username and password as well, then you can view and control their mac from yours

when command + tab(ing) through applications, while still holding command you can perform other shortcuts, like quit (Q), on the highlighted application..

**not a keyboard shortcut but cool anyway**

Found this out recently but at anytime if you hold control and then scroll up on the mousewheel it zooms in on the screen.

This is not software specific but built into the osx so you can zoom in on pixels on your desktop.

very cool function.

It's Command not Control.
