If you’re having trouble using your iMac, it may be because of the keyboard. Here are some simple hacks to help you out:

  1. Use a keyboard shortcut to open the System Preferences: (Command-Option-S)
  2. Use a keyboard shortcut to change the brightness level on your computer: (Command-F5)
  3. Use a keyboard shortcut to open the Keyboard preferences: (Command-KP_B)

Mouseless navigation

Before you start

We recommend that you make sure that “Full keyboard access” is enabled. This will allow you to use the Tab key to switch between dialog box controls and other text boxes. A lot of mouseless navigation works without this step, but it’s better to enable it anyway.

Open the Keyboard Preferences by hitting Cmd + Spacebar and type keyboard. Then hit Enter. Navigate to the Shortcuts tab and press Ctrl + F7 to select ‘All Controls’. (On some iMacs, this can be Fn + Ctrl + F7.) Now you can use the Tab key to toggle between options and select them by pressing the spacebar.

Switch via open apps

You can browse all running apps by pressing Cmd + Tab and then selecting the app you want to open. You can press the Down key to view all open windows in a particular app, and navigate to the window you want to open with the arrow keys.

To switch between full-window apps, press and hold Ctrl + Left Arrow or Right Arrow. To preview all open windows (not in full screen), press Ctrl + Up or Down key.

If you don’t have a mouse, you’ll have to use Finder without a keyboard. To launch Finder, open Spotlight by pressing Cmd + Space, type Finder and hit Enter.

To open the Go menu in the menu bar, press the down arrow and select a destination such as Recent, Downloads, iCloud Drive, etc. Then use the arrow keys to navigate. ..

To open a specific folder, use the arrow keys to navigate and left and right to open the folder. If your folders are in the thumbnail preview, use Cmd + Down to open a folder and Cmd + Up going back.

Spotlight is a great way to access files and apps without having to use a mouse.

To open a website from the bookmarks bar, press Cmd + 1. To open a website from Spotlight, press Cmd + Space. ..

You can switch between the tabs with Cmd + Shift + Left / Right Arrow.

The Dock and App menu bar

The app menu bar is easy to access and navigate with the arrow keys and you can choose an item by pressing Enter or Space. To access the app menu directly, press Fn + Ctrl + F2 and proceed with the arrow keys as described.

The Dock can be accessed by pressing Fn + Ctrl + F3 on newer iMacs. For older models, it’s just Ctrl + F3. And again, move left and right with the arrow keys and select with Enter or spacebar.

How to Dealing with text documents

  1. Tab to the next or previous paragraph.
  2. Control-Tab to the previous or next sentence.
  3. C-Left arrow to move up one line, C-Right arrow to move down one line.

Cursor movement

Other useful shortcuts

Some applications offer different shortcuts that work in different ways. The following list of shortcuts is system wide and works in most applications, although there are some variations.

Magic trackpad

Some people find the trackpad more comfortable to use than a mouse, especially if they are used to using a trackball in their previous computer. If you’re not familiar with trackpads, it’s worth considering getting one even if your mouse is working fine.

The best way to get around your iMac using just your keyboard is to be patient. Sometimes the shortcuts are the fastest way to get to the desired destination.
