KEYS

• Control vs Option vs Apple/Command
• Mac Key combinations vs Windows
• When we say "Command" on the Mac it would be "Control" on a PC
• Key combinations are pressed and held sequentially and then released all at once
• Command+C=Copy
• Command+X=Cut (and delete if you paste)
• Command+V=Paste
• Some key combinations work before you release them (!!!)
• Let's try "⌘+TAB" - what does it do?
• Look what it does on John's computer with more things open at once
• NOW what does it do?
• Some key combinations open a menu or begin a process 
• Now try "⌘+Shift+4" - what did THAT do?
• Try "Command + F" - what did it do? 
• What does  "⌘ + P" do?
MENUS

• Menus are at the TOP of the SCREEN and CHANGE depending on which program has FOCUS
• They usually say things like "File" and "Edit" and "View"
• If you need to press multiple menu items they will have "|" [bar] signs between them like this: "EDIT | FIND"
• REMEMBER: Menus CHANGE depending on the program that is in front (so always check THAT before you ask a question)
• Use "⌘+TAB" to cycle programs and place the focus where you want it.
