Hi, I'm getting my first Mac next week and I'm a long time PC user, was wondering if Macs have the same, or similar keyboard shortcuts as Windows does. If not is it possible to program them? I'll be getting an MBP.

The ones I'm curious about are
Alt-Tab (flip between open programs [apps])
Alt-F4 (close the open window down)
Ctrl-C (copy)
Ctrl-X (cut)
Ctrl-V (paste)
Ctrl-F (find)

Also is it configurable to make left click when clicking the bottom left of the trackpad and right click when clicking the bottom right? And use these to drag the same way as Windows does. These will make the transition a bit easier.

Thanks in advance.

Your Mac's Specs
17" MacBook Pro, 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, not unibody
Similar, but not exactly the same, keyboard shortcuts.
command+tab is the Application Switcher
command+W closes the active window
command+M minimizes the active window
command+C is copy
command+V is paste
command+X is cut
command+F is find, in most applications that support that function

If you are getting a new Unibody Mac laptop, then I believe there is a way to configure the trackpad that way. Or you can just click with 2 fingers on the trackpad. Also, control-click does the same thing.
