Keyboard Shortcuts and Workflow Efficiencies

This is incomplete. It was inspired by a mutual exchange of eye-opening keyboard shortcuts.

Introduction

If you want to work creatively, it helps to remove interruptions and wait times. Using a computer is meant to be faster than doing things by hand, and creative work is one reason we use them. We know from experience what it's like to use an app that you have to wait for, versus an app that keeps up with you. The app that keeps up with you lets you do better work because you remain more focused, and it's more fun to use. But you, too, can either be fast or slow as a user. Computers spend most of their time waiting on us. So if you want to do your very best creative work with a computer, it will help if you and the computer get faster together.
