The Only OS X Shortcut You Need to Remember. I’m a big fan of the keyboard. Minimizing time between thought and action helps me flow. Vim helps me do this, as do keyboard driven utility apps like
 
LaunchBar. For everything else I rely on keyboard shortcuts. Unfortunately, it’s easy to forget a shortcut, and mousing through the menu is slow and clunky. So, here’s my all time favorite OSX keyboard shortcut: Shift + CMD + /. This is the universal shortcut to toggle an application’s help menu. Not only can you search for application help topics, but menu items are also returned.


Now, you can quickly launch the action and be on your way. But if you take a moment to hover over the menu item, you will be shown where in the menu it can be found along with it’s keyboard shortcut.[/FONT]


It’s like an internal command launcher for each application. Plus, you can see the keyboard shortcut for next time and skip the help menu altogether. Enjoy!
