Hello Martin,
Nearly all of the Windows shortcuts for which you used the Control key
are still there, except that instead of Control, use Command,
sometimes called the Apple key.
For example, bolding text in a word processor is now Command-B rather
than Control-B, bookmarking a webpage in your internet browser is
Command-D rather than Control-D, etc.
To move the Windows cursor through text word-by-word—rather than
character-by-character—the shortcut was Control-Arrow Key, instead the
command is now Option-Arrow Key.
To move quickly between open programs, many Windows users relied upon
the Alt-Tab command, which is instead Command-Tab.
To manually shut down a program in Windows, the command was Control-
Alt-Delete (a command with which all Windows users should be
intimately familiar), but in Mac you can "Force Quit" a program by
pressing Command-Option-Escape.
To eject a CD, press and hold the Eject button at the top right of
your keyboard, above the delete key.
To toggle a function that lets you magnify portions of your screen,
press Command-Option-8, then press Command-Option-+ or - to zoom in or
out.
F9 to F12 are programmed to provide a few helpful tools for managing
your screen space:
Press F9 to fit all open windows on the screen at once.
Press F10 to fit all open windows in the selected program at
once.
Press F11 to push aside all open windows and show your desktop.
Press F12 to pull up the Dashboard.
