There's another way to type accents on the Mac and some people find it much easier. Simply press and hold the letter you want to accent and a pop-over menu will appear showing the options. A clear list of over 200 Excel shortcuts for both Windows and Mac, side-by-side. Windows shortcuts in dark gray on the left, Mac shortcuts in white on the right. Create Desktop Shortcuts on Mac Using Drag and Drop The above method is swift and simple. It is the one I prefer. However, there is an additional way to create folder and app shortcuts on Mac. Amaya defines two kinds of keyboard shortcuts for Mac OS X: shortcuts using standard Apple modifier keys (ex. Cmd+C to copy the selection) and shortcuts using sequences (ex. Ctrl-t Ctrl-t to create a table). As Mac OS X users are not familiar with shortcut sequences in menu entries, only standard shortcuts are shown by default. In order for you to get familiar with the Apple keyboard shortcuts, you first need to know about the mac keyboard symbols aka modifier keys. Almost all the quick shortcuts on Mac include one.

Have you ever needed, or just wanted, to make a shortcut icon on the the desktop in Mac OS X? Honestly it's relatively trivial to do but the result isn't always what people expect. My goal is to demonstrate how to create a web page shortcut that is easily identifiable. This is something handy for teachers who want to make it easier for their students to access specific websites, or a business that wants to publish an icon for their customer login page.
Step 1. Launched Safari and navigate to the page you would like to bookmark on the desktop. In figure 1 I have opened Olivent.com.
Step 2. Drag the URL, usually by grabbing the FavIcon, to the desktop. Refer to figure 2 for details.
Step 3. You'll notice a new @ HTTP icon on your desktop similar to Figure 3 with the title of the link you dragged. More than likely you would like to change this to something a little more meaningful, since all of the shortcuts to web links you create will have this same icon.
Step 4. To change the icon to something a bit more meaningful open the info page for the item by either selecting the item and hitting COMMAND-I or right click (hold the control key while clicking) on the item to display the context menu as demonstrated in Figure 4.
Step 5. Once the info page is open return to the web page you created the shortcut for and select something that makes it easily identified and screen capture is with COMMAND-CONTROL-SHIFT-4 (don't worry it does take 2 hands). You'll be able to select a portion of the page in Figure 5 I have selected only the company logo.
Step 6. This image will be copied into the system buffer and you need to return to the item's info page and click on the mini icon in the upper left corner which will highlight in blue. Simply hit COMMAND-v to paste the image from step 5. Figures 6 and 7 display the before and after effect of this operation.
Step 5. Once the info page is open return to the web page you created the shortcut for and select something that makes it easily identified and screen capture is with COMMAND-CONTROL-SHIFT-4 (don't worry it does take 2 hands). You'll be able to select a portion of the page in Figure 5 I have selected only the company logo.
Step 6. This image will be copied into the system buffer and you need to return to the item's info page and click on the mini icon in the upper left corner which will highlight in blue. Simply hit COMMAND-v to paste the image from step 5. Figures 6 and 7 display the before and after effect of this operation.
