Though it does not happen often with Apple computers we all know how frustrating it is to have an Application start misbehaving. Whether it quits unexpectedly or flat out stops responding, it can be incredibly aggravating. When an Application unexpectedly quits you can lose data and, quite often, your patience. Unfortunately, you can not predict when an Application might unexpectedly quit. The only thing that we can do in that case is to save and save often.
If you are like me you find it a bit cumbersome to move from the keyboard to the mouse and back again. One handy trick that I use is the keyboard shortcut for save which is command-s. This allows me to quickly save what I am doing without removing my hands from the keyboard. This is one of many keyboard shortcuts that can come in handy for quickly maneuvering around the Mac. Some examples are command-q which will quit the selected application, command-i will provide you with information regarding a selected file, and command-delete will move a highlighted file to the trash.
