Nice picture but I’m pretty sure they can’t write anything without sheets…

Learning your keyboard shortcuts might be the first thing you need to do if you want to become - more - productive.

The worst way to learn them is to read a massive lists of shortcuts and not remembering any of them.

So let’s do it the smart way and learn a useful new shortcuts every once in a while.

The shortcut of the day will help you delete words from any text app quickly by deleting word by word instead of character by character.

1- The boooooring way

If you need to delete a word while your writing something, you can use the Delete button and press on it as many time as needed.

Delete Delete Delete Delete…

2- The old way

Or you can select the word using

Option ⌥ + Shift ⇧ + Left Arrow ←

and then hit on Delete, to delete the selected word.

⌥ ⇧ ← then Delete

3- The Awesome way

Or you can become amazing by using

Option ⌥ + Delete

⌥ + Delete

That’s it for today. Try using this shortcut as soon as you need it. After a few days (or weeks) it’s gonna be as natural as Command-C / Command-V

Sorry for the Windows users, I only know shortcuts for MAC 🙏
