I’m on my Mac for about 10 hours a day. I’ve been using a Mac for over a decade. I figured I had this thing figured out. NOPE. These hacks just blew my mind. For example:

Use the fn + Delete shortcut to delete the letter in front of your cursor instead of behind. Another handy tip: use option + delete to delete the last word typed. You’ll get the hang of it eventually.

Invert the colors of your screen to make it easier to read if you’re sitting outside in the sun. Just press Command + Option + Control + 8 again to switch it back. Note that this feature is by default disabled on Mountain Lion, so you’ll have to go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Accessibility to turn on the feature (just check the box that says “Invert Colors”).

Use Command + Shift + V to paste text without formatting. If you’ve ever copied and pasted text from a website into an email, you’ve experienced the frustration. All of a sudden your email has this chunk of mismatched text, and it takes you at least a minute fiddling with the font options to make it all conform. For some programs (like Word), the shortcut is Command + Shift + Option + V.
