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.

I'm having problem using one of the shortcuts in VS Code ctrl + shift + L but it works from selection menu.
I have noticed there is a loading circle above cursor when I press that shortcut (even in other apps) and I assumed maybe it's a different shortcut for windows which overrides it.
is there any app that would show me what is triggered when I use shortcuts in windows 10?
VS code developer shortcut troubleshooting doesn't recognize any shortcut but it does for ctrl + shift + S(workbench.action.files.saveAs) for example.
AMD Radeon software was interfering with the shortcut on the background.
disabled it on "hotkeys" section.
It didn't solve every shortcut malfunction, it resolved after I updated the graphic driver.
I have recently moved from Windows 10 to MacOS Big Sur. On Windows, I used AutoHotkey for system-wide automatic text replacement. For example:
(alpha) would turn into α
(beta) would turn into β
Is it possible to do a similar thing using Automator on Mac? I'm not interested in app-specific settings, as I would like this to work in all apps. Not being familiar with the OS, I am struggling to figure it out, and Google/Apple Documentation have been no help!
Thanks
Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Text and add your substitutions, as show in the image further below.
You can get to System Preferences from the Apple menu, far left of the menu bar, or from Spotlight pressing the commandspace bar keyboard shortcut and start typing System Preferences, or from the Dock clicking on the System Preferences icon, as shown below.
All the mac keyboard short cuts like Cmd + Q (Quit Simulator app), Cmd + K (Toggle keyboard hide/show in Simulator) etc has stopped workings for iOS Simulator app since this morning suddenly.
All other apps, including Xcode, shows the shortcut in menus and they are working fine.
I noticed, the shortcut keys shows up against menu items momentarily on launch of simulator but then disappears completely (see attached)...
I tried following but no success...
Launch simulator (Open Xcode project and then menu Product > Run. And, directly through menu Xcode > Open Developer Tools).
Erase All Content and Settings in Simulator...
Restart Mac
Xcode 9.0.1 (9A1004) | Mac 10.13 (17A405)
You might have enabled (checked) the "Send all keyboard shortcuts to device" mode. It's in the Hardware > Keyboard submenu.
Pressing both Left and Right Cmd keys at the same time will exit keyboard capturing mode and re-enable menu shortcuts.
You might have disabled(unchecked) "Connect hardware keyboard" option which is in the hardware/keyboard menu. Make sure its checked.
You may need to press the esc key on newer versions of the simulator.
You can also choose which key stops shortcut capture.
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
I see that in Tools -> Options -> Keyboard you can set Keyboard shortcuts for a large number of tasks. I tried searching for "Close" and these are the results, amongst a few others:
File.Close
File.CloseAllButThis
File.CloseProject
File.CloseSolution
If I set File.Close to be Ctrl+W (Honestly, why doesn't Microsoft innately support such a universal shortcut is beyond me) it mostly works, however if I have both the code-behind and the Designer view open for a form, it closes both tabs. Should I be setting a different command, or am I stuck with this? It's a small inconvenience, but it really irritates me.
I don't know if it's the same in VS2010, but in VS2012 this command is called "Window.CloseDocumentWindow" and it is mapped to Ctrl+F4 by default, to mirror Alt+F4 for closing application-level windows.
I believe the Ctrl+W shortcut was first brought to Microsoft Windows by Adobe Photoshop, a carry-over from Apple OS X, where Adobe seems to have remapped all of the ⌘ command+* shortcuts to Ctrl+*. On OS X, ⌘ command+W only closes windows, but the application stays resident. One uses ⌘ command+Q to quit applications, instead. As the window is the application in Windows, Ctrl+W is kind of a misnomer, but it has gotten more popular for some applications like web browsers to support it.
Given the market dominance of MS Windows over Apple OS X for desktop operating systems, it would seem that the F4-style shortcuts are "more universal" than the W/Q ones.
Use CTRL+F4 to close current window, to close all window of visual studio and shut down use - ALT+F4 .
