This isn’t meant to be some visually appealing infographic, filled with fancy gradients and sexy charts. That’s why I put together a Unix commands cheat sheet of regularly-used commands in the Unix command line (see below). It seems like there’s so much you have to know!
Not because it’s hard to learn-it’s actually not too difficult once you start-but rather because it is intimidating. Whether you’re a longtime Mac user or completely new to the platform, you are practically guaranteed to find CheatSheet useful.When it comes to learning how to code, you might be worried about mastering the command line. Having an optional menu item to summon the cheat sheet for the active application, give you some control over basic settings like response time, and having a quick way to quit CheatSheet would be a nice touch, but this is a free app that is very useful as is so we really can’t complain too much, and this may change over time as the app evolves. My only complaint about CheatSheet is that since it runs in the background you have to use something like Activity Monitor to easily quit out of it.
Quick troubleshooting tips: if some apps aren’t responding to the hotkey, either relaunch those apps or try releasing and holding Command again and it should activate.Īlso if you’ve forgotten the meaning of Mac keyboard symbols it may be a good time to review those really quickly. Here’s a quick video showing CheatSheet in use with Google Chrome and TextEdit: This allows you to quickly see even the most obscure shortcuts that would otherwise be buried deep within a submenu somewhere. Now from any application, hold down the Command key for a few seconds to summon the “Cheat Sheet” list of all keyboard shortcuts for that app.
