A few weeks ago I emailed the list a link I found to a page of mac keyboard shortcuts. I just emailed the ones I didn't know about that I find myself using, but there are plenty of other ones, including some nice restart/shutdown commands involving modifier keys and the eject key. I don't use them, though, as my keyboard is a windows style one and so lacks an eject key. In case you missed it, here's the link again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US On Oct 22, 2012, at 2:49 PM, Paul Hunt <prhu...@att.net> wrote:
