I wrote a post stating that I could not find the Windows Ctrl+Home keyboard shortcut equivalent on a Mac. Well I'm here to tell you that I found the keyboard shortcut combination that does the same thing on a Mac. The Excel Gods are with me. Hallelujah!

Finding My Way Home

Hopefully this list of keyboard shortcuts for Chrome on Mac will have you accomplishing your browser tasks much easier. Many work the same for Windows and Linux, with some slight variations. So if you use Chrome on different computers, check out Chrome's keyboard shortcut list for those platforms too.

  1. How to Find Your Network Security Key Mac PC? To find network security key on Mac PC is as easy as Windows PC. We are going to tell you where to find network security key on Mac. First of all, you need to click on 'Go' button at the top of the screen; After that, you need to select 'Utilities.'.
  2. The iPad's Home button is the small, circular button at the bottom of the iPad.It's also the only button on the face of the tablet. Apple's design philosophy revolves around the idea that less is better, which makes it one of the few ways to control the iPad outside of the onscreen controls.

The key to finding this elusive keyboard shortcut is in the Keyboard Viewer. On your Mac select the Apple icon () and click System Preferences… Select Keyboard, and then make sure to click the Keyboard tab. Check the box for: Show Keyboard & Character Viewers in menu bar.

Click the Keyboard Viewer icon in your Mac menu bar and a nice replica of your Mac keyboard will appear.

You will notice that this viewer reflects the keys you tap on your keyboard. The screen shot above shows the Command and Shift keys are depressed. The Keyboard Viewer will also show different symbols when you press various keys, like fn, Control, Option, Command, etc.

This is where I noticed something interesting. While depressing the fn key, the left arrow button changes its angle to point up about 30 degrees. Knowing that allowed me to do a little testing in Microsoft Excel 2011 for the Mac.

Another aid in finding keyboard shortcuts comes in the form of an overlay for your Mac keyboard. The kind folks over at Excel Skin™ gave me an overlay that slips over the Mac keyboard and shows, via color coding, a wide array of shortcuts that work in Excel for Mac. Here is why you might want an excel skin.
