Newly Switched!

[Ozone42]

Last night my first Mac arrived. It's an iMac 17" 1.8 ghz. Holy crap is it ever something else. So quiet, elegant, and functional. Right now I'm at work on my PC workstation and I just can't wait to get back to tinker with the new Mac at home.

So far I am VERY impressed. I'm still adjusting, but I've only hit two minor bumps in the transition so far. I needed to download a new printer driver (not surprising at all!) and a few keyboard shortcuts I'm used to in windows don't work in every app on a Mac.

I'm used to holding shift and hitting Home to go to select to the begining of a line. This is a bad habit as it didn't work on all my unix apps anyway.

Does anyone have a site that has a cheat/reference sheet to the most common keyboard shortcuts?

hi,
If you go to system prefs ->keyboard and mouse->keyboard shortcuts. Quite a few are listed and you can change or add new ones there.
