YOUR KEYBOARD. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Make Mac shortcuts part of your routine.

Practise the macOS essentials with tasks and immediate feedback. Learn the roles of Command, Option and Control on your Mac keyboard instead of assuming every Windows shortcut translates directly.

Typing practice is available in English. Shortcut lessons and main navigation currently use German.

Start with macOS essentials

The Mac collection focuses on core commands. Choose macOS before training so the exercises use Mac combinations. Collections are growing; use the lessons currently available in the trainer.

Match your Mac keyboard

Select Mac US, Mac German or Mac Swiss as appropriate. Swiss and German keyboards place several symbols differently, even though both use QWERTZ.

Practise within the browser

Focus the exercise field before pressing a combination. Use written answers or on-screen keys when a shortcut is reserved by macOS or the browser. Tab moves out of the exercise area.

* Available layouts depend on language and system. Dvorak is currently offered for English on macOS. Explore keyboard layouts →
