keyboard

I've been using Ubuntu part time and it took me forever to find these critically useful navigation-aiding shortcuts:

ctrl option [left arrow, right arrow] switches desktops

ctrl option shift [left arrow, right arrow] switches desktops taking the active window with you

option tab (and option shift tab) cycle through the open windows on a desktop in most recently used (and reverse) order.

Another alternative:

tab navigation shortcuts in Safari
tab previous next keyboard shortcuts safari

Command + Shift + {
Command + Shift + }

Command + Shift + Left arrow and Right arrow work also, most of the time, but not when the focus is in a text area.
