Keyboard Shortcuts

To the right of the commands in the menus you often see a little code, such as N (pronounced “Command N” or sometimes “Apple N”). This is a keyboard shortcut you can use instead of using the menu. You memorize the shortcut, then the next time you need that command you use the shortcut instead of picking up your mouse and pulling down the menu.

Often the keyboard shortcut will include other symbols representing other keys; see Chapter 4 for explanations of every symbol and special key on your keyboard.
