Shortcut to Force Quit on Mac

When working on your Mac, you might need to force quit an application that has become unresponsive or is causing issues. Here are some shortcut keys you can use to force quit an app:

* Control-Command-F: Use the app in full screen, if supported by the app.

* Control–Command–Space bar: Show the Character Viewer, from which you can choose emoji and other symbols.

However, if you use multiple input sources to type in different languages, these shortcuts change input sources instead of showing Spotlight. To perform a Spotlight search from a Finder window, press Command–Option–Space bar.

Some other important shortcut keys include:

* Command–Space bar: Show or hide the Spotlight search field.

* Command-O: Open the selected item, or open a dialog to select a file to open.

* Command-M: Minimize the front window to the Dock.

* Option-Command-W: Close all windows of the app.

* Option-Command-H: View the front app but hide all other apps.

* Shift-Command-G: Find the previous occurrence.

* Command-G: Find Again: Find the next occurrence of the item previously found.

* Command-F: Find items in a document or open a Find window.

Additionally, some apps allow you to undo and redo multiple commands. You can then press Shift-Command-Z to Redo, reversing the undo command.

Lastly, if you need to copy, cut, or paste content, use these shortcut keys:

* Command-V: Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app.

* Command-C: Copy the selected item to the Clipboard.

* Command-X: Cut the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard.

By using these shortcut keys, you can quickly perform various tasks on your Mac, including force quitting an application.
