You know how in Chrome in MacOS, you can do CMD + 1 to go to the first tab or CMD + 2 to go to the second, etc...
How can I add a keyboard shortcut in MacOS to do this as well with finder tabs in one window? Thanks!
To move between tabs, use Control+Tab. Include Shift to reverse direction.
While in Finder, if you click on the Window menu, you will see an item for Show Next Tab. At the right of that is “^⇥”, which tells you the keyboard shortcut is Control+Tab. Here is an Apple list of those symbols. You can also see them by opening the Keyboard Viewer. Enable that in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard > “Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar”, or open “/System/Library/Input Methods/KeyboardViewer.app”.
You can also set up your own key combination for this in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts. Select App Shortcuts, click +, select All Applications or Finder, enter “Show Next Tab” for the Menu Title, and enter the keys you like for the Keyboard Shortcut.
To move between windows of the current application (not just Finder), use ⌘+` (Command + Grave Accent [left of 1 key]). Include Shift to reverse direction.

Press CMD+TAB to see all applications opened.
Using left-right arrows select Finder.
Using up-down arrors open Finder windows selection.
Using arrows select (get blue border) Finder window.
And now how can I open selected finder window?
Just hit the ENTER/RETURN key.
Tested locally on Yosemite 10.10.5. It may matter that I release the command key after up/down on Finder, before left/right selecting the window and hitting ENTER.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for OSX Mavericks to show all windows, even the minimized or hidden ones for an application?
I hate having to use my mouse to click on the Chrome icon to open my other chrome windows.
The keyboard shortcut to show all windows for an application is Ctrl+Down then switch between these windows using arrow keys.
To change the keys used for the shortcut to whatever you want, go to System Preferences-> Keyboard-> Shortcuts-> Mission Control-> Application Windows.
It's under the system preferences for Mission Control: there's a shortcut defined there for "Application windows", currently set to ctrl + down arrow
Works for open and minimised windows for your currently chosen application.
Ctrl + ▲ (up arrow) works on my Mac
You can setup a "hot corner" and select "Application Windows". Also you would see the file history in a banner so that you could also access to your files that are minimised.
How can I unbind Command-Control-Space from Mac OS X 10.9?
This shortcut shows Special Characters table and conflicts with my Emacs key binding, and I couldn't disable it from System Preference->Keyboard->Shortcuts.
Thanks.
At least on macOS Sierra to macOS Big Sur ⌃Space is the default binding for Select the previous input source which is on by default (even if only one input source is activated).
You can free it by:
Open System Preferences
Go to Keyboard > Shortcuts > Input Sources
Untick "Select the previous input source"
Afterwards, you should be able to bind it as expected.
You can create custom keyboard shortcuts for most app's menubar choices in System Preferences. If a desired key combination is losing precedence to a default shortcut that you don't use and can't easily disable, simply override it with a new, unobtrusive shortcut.
Open System Prefs / Keyboard / Shortcuts. Select App Shortcuts from the left pane. Toggle the All Applications category's triangle in the main window to point downward (if it's not open already).
If there's an item named Emoji & Symbols* shown there, then click its shortcut combination and enter a new shortcut (such as option-shift-command-t, in this case).
If there's not an item named Emoji & Symbols under All Applications, click the + button at the bottom, type or copy-paste Emoji & Symbols, and then enter a new keyboard shortcut (option-shift-command-t, or anything really). This will free the control-command-space combination for you to use as a specialized shortcut elsewhere.
To remove your custom shortcut, just click to highlight it in the main window of this preference pane, and click the – button at the bottom. The custom shortcut will disappear and the default action will resume.
*Note: On versions older than Mac OS 10.10.3, the menu item is called Special Characters… instead of Emoji & Symbols.
I don't know of any way to disable this, but an alternative option might be to create a shortcut for the app you want to use that in. I created a Command-Control-Space shortcut for Chrome and now Command-Control-Space doesn't bring up the special character palette anymore in Chrome.
failing that you may be better off asking in Apple Stackexchange
Just recently made the switch from Windows to Mac and use the alt + cmd + H shortcut alot.
However, I would like to re-map the key combination to something more convenient (say, alt + cmd + D).
Is this possible at all?
Open System Preferences and go to Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts
Select Launchpad & Dock.
Uncheck Turn Dock Hiding On/Off. This will free up Cmd-Alt-D.
Select Application Shortcuts.
Click the + button to add a new binding to All Applications.
Type in the text Hide Others in the Menu Title text field.
Click in the Keyboard Shortcut box and type Cmd-Alt-D.
On the above shown asking popup window on Mac, how can I select another button (left button) by using keyboard.
Without clicking mouse button, I want to make left button highlighten.
Is there any shortcuts?
Go to Preferences -> Keyboard. At the bottom, turn on "All controls" under "Full Keyboard Access".
The alternate option will be highlighted with a blue ring. Hitting space will activate this. If there are multiple options, hitting tab will alternate between them.
For English/Mac OSX 10.10:
Go to Keyboard in System Preferences, and then select 'All controls'. Space will select the alternate option if two options. If more than two options then tab will alternate between them.
PS: I would much rather the option of using arrow keys and enter. Interested to know if anyone knows how to hack this?
After reading Tricon's answer, I got the way!!!
Just see the following shortcuts.
Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard & keyboard input (I don't know the correct English menu, I'm using Korean "탭이 초점을 이동하는 방식 변경 (^F7) )
Once you do ^F7 (In case of mac book, Control + fn + F7) on a popup window, you can travel over buttons on any popup windw!!!
Thank you Tricon for giving me clue :)
In Catalina in Keyboard -> Shortcuts press Use keyboard navigation to mve focus between controls. Then you can use Tab to highlight another button and use Space to actually press it.
