New to Mac! Whoo! Hoo!

Hello everyone. I just got my Mac last week, so far, much better that anything I have ever had before. Just need to learn those shortcuts with the command key.

Thanks for reading.

I suppose generally most of the shortcuts are the same just with the key instead of the ctrl.

For instance copy and paste are the same

Here is a pretty nice list of all the shortcuts you'll ever need really!

Yeah, is that a statement of fact or a request?

⌘ = command
⌥ = option
⌃ = control
⇧ = shift

Thanks

I think for the most part I have figured some of the basics. I know I will still need help with some things that are obvious to other users. Anyway, I need to get to sleep so I'll talk to you guys later. One more question though. I don't know if the older MacBooks had a backspace key or a delete key. The problem that I have had the most is how to actually delete a character (nevermind, I just found out (shift delete)). I guess I am just too use to using a backspace key. The delete key works fine for me because it is in the same spot as the backspace key on a P.C.. Just use the shift key! Well, Good Night or Morning to everyone, time for me to sleep.

You don't need to hold shift. Delete ⌫ on a Mac is the same as backspace on a PC.
