Whether you have owned your Macbook Air for three days or three years, there are always new features you can learn about that will make your life easier. Keyboard shortcuts, for example, can streamline work and web browsing by simplifying complex actions to the click of a few buttons -- provided you are using the right combination of keys, of course. These shortcuts enable you to bypass certain features or having to use your mouse for various tasks, for a faster and more efficient time at your Macbook.

Here are a few useful keyboard combinations to utilize regularly:

  • Command + Option + Control + Eject: Hitting these four buttons simultaneously will allow you to instantly shut down your Macbook while bypassing the usual route. This will save you time by letting you get around the traditional longer way of turning your computer off -- just make sure that you have any open files saved.
  • Command + Option + M: We all have those times where we have more tabs open than we can count. If you want to quickly declutter your screen and minimize everything that you currently have open, you can do so with this command. Then you will be able to go back and open only what you need to.
  • Command + Shift + 4 + Space Bar: If you are looking to grab a screenshot of a window that you have open, just use this combination of keys. This will come in useful if you need to save information on screen quickly, and store it automatically on your laptop's desktop.
