There are a number of pre-configured shortcuts that can be changed, grouped into these categories:

Sometimes, the Mac keyboard symbols you need are only available in another language — say, they could be Cyrillic-based. To access them, you'd need to enable another keyboard layout on your Mac. Luckily, it's easy to do: Go to System Preferences ➙ Keyboard.

These 'global shortcuts' work from anywhere in the system and are very useful when assigned to your most used apps and files.

To create your own application keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard settings:

1. Click the + button. The Add Custom Shortcut window will appear.

2. Type a Name to identify the shortcut, and a Command to run an application. For example, if you wanted the shortcut to open Rhythmbox, you could name it Music and use the rhythmbox command.

3. Click the row that was just added. When the Set Custom Shortcut window opens, hold down the desired shortcut key combination.

4. Click Add.

The command name that you type should be a valid system command. You can check that the command works by opening a Terminal and typing it in there. The command that opens an application cannot have the same name as the application itself.

If you want to change the command that is associated with a custom keyboard shortcut, click the name of the shortcut. The Set Custom Shortcut window will appear, and you can edit the command.

One of the coolest aspects of the Mac is that it comes with a huge number of languages included by default. That means that you can run your Mac in almost every language out there. However, the advantages of having several languages on your Mac is not limited to that. In fact, this variety also allows you a lot of flexibility on different aspects of your workflow, especially when it comes to text input.

Let's take a look at some of the most interesting of these advantages.

Choose Different Languages as Input Sources and Toggle Between Them Fast

Not only can you set up your Mac's interface to be in a specific language, but you can also change between languages with a simple shortcut when typing.

Let's see how to do this:

First, open System Preferences and then click on Language & Text. Then, select the Input Sources tab.

Scroll through the box on the left and select all the languages (and their variants) you would like to type in.

Then, under Input source shortcuts click on the Keyboard Shortcuts… button and select a shortcut to toggle between the different input languages you selected (Command+Option+Space in my case). On the menu bar on your Mac you will now see the Input menu and will be able to see the current language in use.

Changing Your Mac's Spelling Checker Language

Let's say that, like me, you prefer to keep your Mac's menus, apps and overall interface in one language (English in my case ), but you need to type in another. If you do, you will find that the spelling and grammar checker might not work for the language that you are typing in.

Thankfully, the availability of multiple languages in Mac OS X also applies to a system-wide spelling checker. All you need to do is to tell your Mac to check the spelling in any specific language/languages you want.

To do this:

Open the System Preferences panel and click on Language & Text.

Once there, select the Text tab and look for the Spelling drop-down menu. Click on it and choose the Set Up… option located at the bottom.

You will be presented with a long list of all the languages available on your Mac. Here, make sure to select all the languages that you would like to work with on it, including language variants, like different kinds of English or Portuguese for example. After choosing them, click on the Done button.

Now that you have selected the languages you want, head to the Spelling drop-down menu again and choose if you want the spell checker to work with any particular one or to detect the language automatically.

There you go. As you can see, having so many languages available on your Mac can really come in handy. Stick around Guiding Tech for more tips like these.
