I am printing these as I type.
Where can you get them to rpint or download i’am not able to find the download link on this website, or is it only a trick to get traffic?
there is no trick or anything, you get the links once you subscribe. Read the second part of the article it explains the whole thing.
ok Now I’ve subscribed and it keeps shooting me back to this same page….Y???
Now, just wait for an email from us. It should be coming shorlty, if it’s not already there
Nice. It would be complete if there were linux ones as well.
If you mean command-line work, then you can get pretty much all you need to know from…
man command
command --help
Otherwise, Google is your friend.
Here are some Linux Cheat Sheets for you
The One page Linux Manual
The Unix/Linux commands cheat sheet
Nice sheets
For those interested, I have a Subversion cheatsheet available at http://ariejan.net/svncheatsheet/
thanks
Google reader doesn’t need a cheetsheat. Just hit ‘?’ in reader and you get all this information.
Just an FYI for Gmail, the Tab then Enter combo to send the message also works in Firefox.
just forwarded this site to some friends….great links, but I agree that both gmail and google reader aren’t really needed, since Google places them in the “help” section of their respective sites.
Thanks though, great list!
Not clear in the firefox(win) sheet: ctrl-shift-t = restore closed tab. This command will go back more than one level.
Works fine for me. Just checked it.
This is pretty awesome, I use all these programs you have here. Thanks. Dugg
Ultimate cheat-sheet source..
Couple of small mistakes/omissions in the Firefox shortcuts.
Ctrl-9 doesn’t necessarily open the 9th tab. It opens the last tab (the very end one), whether it’s the 3rd or the 26th. Useful, actually.
I don’t see Alt-left-arrow for Back, or Alt-right-arrow for Forward. Also, in my FF3 at least, shift-backspace doesn’t go forward. Doesn’t do anything at all, actually.
Great list, though. I did discover a few new ones. Plus I can get rid of one of my extensions, now that I know there’s already a shortcut for restoring closed tabs. Nice.
Thanks.

My favorite MAC OS X cheet :
Command-shift+4 = Take a screenshot of whatever is selected
Very useful article. Thanks a lot!
for the ms windows cheatsheet…
CTRL + SHIFT + ESC open taskmanager directly
Hi,
I work for the company that produces the sheet listed as the Windows guide. This is actually a 2 page cheat sheet. The second page includes keyboard shortcuts for special characters. You can get the entire free guide at http://www.barcharts.com/system/downloads/free/Shortcuts%20(QT).pdf
you know the Mac one pretty much copies directly from Apple’s site, right? Readers might as well go there and print it from there directly - it’ll look tons better than the ‘work’ you Matthew Elton did.

and that second one is _stolen_. just like your logo, which looks like the vmware logo. just uglier, and with gross artifacts.
IIf you thik that vmware and MakeUseOf logos are similar you must be an idiot. No further comments.
Try to get this done but is difficult , i’am working for the best payroll company in the netherlands Payned payrolling and need to keep everything up to date this would help.
