Four years of owning a Macbook in college has taught me a lot about computers, but not everything there is to know. Here's a quick list of seven things I've discovered recently that could be of use to your everyday life!
1. If you select text and click Command + K, you can link to something online or an email address.
2. The button under delete is a nice little vertical divider when you click shift. (|)
3. If you click option + E and then another letter afterward, the letter will have the Spanish accent mark on it. Same thing to get ñ- option n, n.
4. You know those F5 and F6 buttons on your computer? They control the keyboard backlighting.
5. When you highlight a section of text and click the arrows under shift, it moves the highlight forward or back. This sounds pretty obvious, but is cool in action
6. The dash (-) next to 0 is a normal dash, and an underscore when you click shift. But if you click OPTION dash, it's a thicker dash! (–)
7. This one isn't really a keyboard shortcut, but just a nice thing to know if you ever make a bibliography. If you highlight a section of text, right click and click Paragraph --> Special, you can add an automatic hanging indent. It saves you a ton of time from doing it one-by-one!
