As you know, the productivity of work directly depends on the time it takes to complete a particular task. One of the methods that can significantly speed up routine operations in OS X is hotkeys. There are a lot of them here, in addition, Apple has provided the ability to add custom shortcuts. Therefore, you can assign a hotkey for absolutely any action that is performed through the application menu. No one would argue that shortcuts are cool. Today I have prepared for you a selection of shortcuts that will make your work in Mavericks even more efficient.
