[::Post Some Cool Macbook Tricks/Shortcuts Vol. command+control+eject=restart::]

[licensed to ball]

CTRL + alt + command + 8 = inverted screen colors
press shift while minimizing a window

some simple tricks most of you may know: tap your keypad with two fingers for a basic right click.
while surfing the web put three fingers on your keypad and move them left or right to go back or forward.

I know im super late but i just got a mac so excuse me and be easy on the flaming. I thought id share these i found on youtube, but id love to hear aboutcooler tricks if anyone on NT feels generous and wants to share

The OS is a shortcut in itself
