The function keys are your friends

The function keys are your friends (Mac OS X only):
- F2 plus Control = Navigate the menu bar, starting from the left hand side.
- F3 plus Control = Navigate the dock, using the left and right arrow keys to move between icons and the up and down arrow keys to view the navigate thought the contextual menu.
- F4 plus Control = cycle through all of the open windows.
- F8 plus Control = navigate through the right side of the menu bar. Note that this only works with some menu bar icons. In fact, I was only able to select the Remote Desktop icon this way
Pretty nice. If you knew this already consider it a refresher, if not I hope you find these shortcuts useful.
clever and useful…
