How-To Geek

The best keyboard shortcuts for safari on os x.

If you use a Mac, then you well know by now that keyboard shortcuts are an essential component to mastering OS X.

Quick Links

Navigating webpages, opening pages in tabs, reading list and bookmarks shortcuts, other miscellaneous safari shortcuts.

If you use a Mac, then you well know by now that keyboard shortcuts are an essential component to mastering OS X. Nowhere is this more true than Safari, where keyboard shortcuts make quick work of many routine web browsing tasks.

Safari actually has quite a few keyboard shortcuts that you may know about, as well as quita a few you may not know about. Today we want to talk about some of our favorites.

When you're on a website and you don't want to use your mouse or trackpad, the keyboard offers a number of shortcuts.

Use the arrow keys to scroll up, down, left, and right. If you're scrolling through a long webpage, you can press Option+Up/Down Arrow to scroll more quickly.
To scroll down a screen use the Page Down key or the Spacebar .
To scroll up, simply use Page Up or Shift+Spacebar .
To scroll all the way down to the bottom-left corner of a page (as in all the way to the end), press Command+Down Arrow .
To go up to the top-left corner? Use Command+Up Arrow .
Tab highlights the next field.
Option+Tab highlights the same thing as well as all other clickable items.

You can swap the behavior of those last two shortcuts by clicking “Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage” in the Advanced tab of the Safari preferences.

Opening pages in new tabs is a great way to make sure you don't miss anything. Just open everything you want to read (eventually) and go at it.

To open a new tab, press Command+T .
To move from tab to tab (assuming you have several open) use Command+Shift+Left/Right Arrow .
To close the current tab use Command+W.
To reopen it, use Command+Z .
There are a couple of ways to affect multiple tabs as well.
To close all open tabs except one, hold the Option button and click the close button (X) on the tab you want to leave open or use Command+Option+W .
To open all the tabs in a folder in your Favorites, hold the Command key and click the folder.
To open an item in a new tab, you could right-click and select "Open in a new tab" from the resulting context menu. You can eliminate a step by holding the Command key and clicking a link, bookmark, or hiting the Return key from the Smart Search field.

In the previous examples, if you use those keyboard shortcuts to open tabs, they'll open in the background. To open a page in a new tab and bring it to the front for the same items (link, bookmark, Smart Search), prepend those shortcuts by adding the Shift key. For example, Shift+Command+Click .

Lastly, if you have more than one tab open, then you can use the keyboard to navigate through them.

Use Control+Tab or Command+] to bring the next tab to the front.
Use Shift+Control+Tab or Shift+Command+[ to bring the previous tab to the front.
If you have up to nine tabs open, you can use Command+1 through 9 to select the desired tab.

You'll be a tab master in no time.

Let's move on to the Reading List and your Bookmarks. The Reading List lets you save offline copies of webpages for later reading where you might not have reliable Internet access, such as on a plane or in rural areas. Bookmarks are a big part of any web browser. While we don't necessarily bookmark every page we come across, or even as many as we used to, we still have favorites we visit daily or regularly, so keyboard shortcuts can come in handy.

To add the current page to your reading list, use Shift+Command+D .
To add a linked page, Shift+Click the link. To remove a page, swipe left on the item and click remove, or use right-click and select "Remove Item" from the context menu list.
To bookmark a site, use Command+D .
The Favorites bar is that row of bookmarks that runs along the top. To quickly show or hide that bar, use Command+Shift+B .
To select a bookmark or folder in the sidebar, you can hold the Command key and click each bookmark and folder.
To select a range of bookmarks or folders, use the Shift key.
To select the next bookmark or folder in the sidebar, use the Arrow keys, to open a selected bookmark, use the Spacebar .
To open a selected folder, use the Spacebar or Right Arrow . To close it, use the Spacebar or Left Arrow .
If you want to open a selected folder and its subfolders in the Sidebar, use Option+Right Arrow . To close a folder, use Option+Left Arrow.

If you're attending to your bookmarks in the editing window, then there are a few useful shortcuts which will get you away from the mouse or trackpad.

To change the name or address of a bookmark, select that bookmark and then press the Return key.
To stop or cancel editing a bookmark in the sidebar, press Esc and to finish editing, press Return .
To create a folder containing a group of selected bookmarks and/or folders in the bookmarks view, make your selections and hold the Option key, then click the "New Folder" button.
To delete a bookmark, simply select the bookmark (or bookmarks) and tap the Delete button.

There are also a number of shortcuts that affect the Safari window, and a few other miscellaneous functions:

To open a new Safari window, use Command+N.
To open a new Safari Private window, use Command+Shift+N .
You'll often hear us refer to the Sidebar throughout this article. To quickly show or hide said Sidebar, use Command+Shift+L .
Want to download a linked file? Hold the Option key and click on the link.
To close the Smart Search field, reader, or to exit full-screen view, use the Esc key.
Finally, to go to your home page, use Command+Home.

In addition, here's a nice trick: If you browse through a number of pages in a tab, you can click and hold the back or forward button to see a list of where you've been.

If you hold the Option key however, you can see the full URL.

As you might have guessed, we're really big on OS X keyboard shortcuts, but Macs have always emphasized using them in lieu of mousing. While there are some cases where you simply cannot get away from using the mouse, being able to effectively use the keyboard at other times can make short work of many repetitive tasks.

Safari is no different, so the next time you're surfing, be sure to try some of these out and see if they don't make your life just a little easier.

Wow!, Gary, this tutorial is wonderful!! I wish it was something that I could print out instead of having to remember or review this tutorial over and over. Thank you for this and every tutorial you prepare and share. Bob Riley Milton, MA 02186

I agree with Bob Riley! This is quite a fact-loaded tutorial that needs a printed 'cheat-sheet'. I also thank Gary for all he has shared over the years. It's amazing to me that, having used Safari for as long as it has existed, I never realized that that little 'download icon' gave me the ability to directly drag&drop a newly downloaded file to a different location... sigh.

Easy to print shortcuts. Drag on bottom right of Gary's post to enlarge it to full size where you can read entire post without scrolling. Then, copy and paste to Text File and print.

"The standard way to switch between windows in Mac apps is to use Command and the key to the left of the one key on US keyboards."

On a wireless Apple UK magic keyboard it is the key to the left of "z".

need to have print out. Can't remember them all

Thanks Gary! One item I really like that I don't think was mentioned was the ability to "pin" a tab for a frequently visited website. I have 3 of these pinned on every safari page, and use them constantly. Here's Apple's instructions: "drag the tab with the website you want to pin to the left side of the tab bar. When the tab shrinks and displays the website's icon or initial, drop it in place. You can also choose Window > Pin Tab, or Control-click a tab, then , then choose Pin Tab"

I highlighted it, copy and paste in Pages. Then I separated its topics into paragraphs than print.

12 Safari keyboard shortcuts you should know

If you use Safari as your full-time browser on Mac, then you should learn some of the more important keyboard shortcuts to supercharge your workflow. In this post, we tell you about a dozen must-have Safari shortcuts to power up your browsing experience.

But first, a quick video walkthrough of the best keyboard shortcuts in Safari for Mac.

Without further ado, here are the best keyboard shortcuts for macOS Safari.

1. Quickly switch between open tabs

To quickly switch between Safari tabs using your keyboard, use Control + Tab or Control + Shift + Tab to navigate your open tabs forward and backward. You can also press Command + 1 to Command + 8 to quickly switch to a specific tab. If your open tabs don’t fit Safari’s tab bar , simply swipe left or right on any tab using your trackpad to reveal the ones outside window boundaries.

2. Instantly jump to the rightmost tab

To instantly jump to the rightmost open tab , press Command + 9 . This handy shortcut only works on Mac computers running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 or newer. On older macOS editions, this shortcut takes you to the ninth Safari tab.

3. Close a tab

You can quickly close a Safari tab by pressing Command + W . To close all tabs except the currently active one , right-click or Control-click the one you’d like to keep and choose Close Other Tabs from a popup menu.

Alternatively, press the Option key and click the tab’s close symbol ( x ). This will keep this tab open and close all other open tabs!

4. Reopen recently closed tabs or windows

Have you ever closed a tab and instantly regretted doing so? No big deal! There are several shortcuts for bringing recently closed tabs . If your last action in Safari was closing a tab, use the standard undo shortcut Command + Z .

Otherwise, press Shift + Command + T or choose Reopen Last Closed Tab from Safari’s History menu.

You can use this shortcut (or the Undo action) repeatedly to reopen multiple closed tabs. To reopen a particular closed tab, select it from Safari’s History → Recently Closed sub-menu

Tip: To reopen any accidentally closed windows or tabs from your last browsing session, click Safari’s History menu and choose the option Reopen All Windows From Last Session .

5. Switch between windows

We know how to switch between tabs, but how do you quickly switch between windows in Safari? Just press Command + ` or Command + Shift + ` to switch windows in reverse.

6. Go back or forward

Let the trackpad and mouse rest. Use the Command + ] shortcut to advance to the next webpage and Command + [ to go back to the previous webpage in Safari on Mac.

7. Scroll a full-page

To scroll a full page at a time in Mac’s Safari, hold the Option key and press the Up or Down arrow key. You can also press the Space bar or the Shift + Space bar combination to scroll down or up a full page.

8. Jump to the top or bottom of the webpage

To instantly reach the very top or bottom of a webpage in Safari, hold the Command key on the keyboard while pressing the Up or Down arrow key.

9. Show or hide the favorites bar

Every little bit of real estate counts. To show or hide your Favorites bar in Mac’s Safari, press Command + Shift + B .

10. Open a private-browsing window

To quickly open a new private-browsing session in Safari on Mac, press Command + Shift + N .

Want fast access to Safari’s Bookmarks, Reading List, and Shared links? Try pressing Command + Shift + L .

Switching to next tab can also be done by using Option-Command-◀︎\▶︎. It seems more natural since you use command for selecting tabs and it's just "closer" than Control+Tab.

This page is mostly light grey text on white background - VERY hard ago read! That's only for stuff that "they" don't want you to read, i.e. car and gym contracts. Use better (dark) text colors. Personally, I don't need "high contrast" or assistive, but super-light is just obnoxious. This list is old, several items don't work in 2021. Also, check your spelling, there are errors.

Reply #1 admin May 24, 2021 at 12:07 pm

Hi - thanks for taking time giving feedback! I will change the font color to darker and will rework the Safari List. I thought the font color less dark would make it easier on the eye, but you got a good point on readability. As far as updates - yes. I am on it and should have this improved by end of the week.

What is the option to navigate to previous page in current window like the back button in windows? (...and please don't say "cmd-arrow key", because it is not working in safari.) What is the option to navigate to the top of the page and end of the page?

Reply #2 Yents Dec 1, 2015 at 06:39 pm

Use command + left arrow to go back one page within the tab. Use command + right arrow to go to the next page within the tab. Hope this helped.

Most of these don't work for me on an ipad 3 running iOS 7 with a Kensignton Bluetooth keyboard. For example, tab switching, reopen tab, hide window and new tab do not work. The only one I found that worked was close tab.

Reply #1 SaphrynShikaze Jan 27, 2015 at 09:22 pm

Hey rsbrux, These shortcuts are meant for the Safari Browser on OS X. I think the main reason for that is the fact that bluetooth keyboard makers are not regulated to include all of the required keys you would find on a Mac, such as [Option], [fn], [alt], etc. A great idea would be for Apple to launch an official "umbrella certification" program for companies like Logitech and others so they can comply with keyboard, AirPlay, DRM rules that apply to Apple products across the board. Tim Cook, get on it! lol.

Comment #12 by seonag Nov 11, 2014 at 06:34 am Reply

Hi Switching tabs works fine as described...but when I get to my yahoo email it doesn't. Once I reach the yahoo page, using command & shift & left or right arrow just results in navigating round the yahoo page, switching from one message to the next....Does anyone have any solution to this????? Thanks!

Reply #1 SaphrynShikaze Jan 27, 2015 at 09:28 pm

Hey seonag. So I tried the whole Yahoo! Mail thing, and you're absolutely right. The solution: use [control]+[tab] to move to the next tab and [shift]+[control]+[tab] to move to the previous. I think these shortcuts work even better than [shift]+[⌘]+[left/right] for two reasons: 1) they're textbox proof, and 2) they're one handed operations ;). Hope that helps!

how do i click on a link, on a web age, and open the link i clicked in another tab. Example: on windows- you right click on the link and choose the option "open in new tab"

Reply #1 SaphrynShikaze Jan 27, 2015 at 09:30 pm

Hey Evan. It's [⌘]+click. To open in a new tab AND have the screen switch to the tab you opened, add shift, like this: [⌘]+[shift]+click. Have shortcutting ;).

In IE, Ctrl + Enter is used to add "www" as a prefix and ".com" as suffix. What is the similar shortcut in Safari? Or in Mac OS X in general?

"Hold option when clicking Back button" should be "Hold command when clicking Back button"

Is there a way to add "www." and ".com" to something in the address bar, like Command-Enter in FireFox? e.g. I type "yahoo" and Command-blah and it takes me to www.yahoo.com instead of doing a google search for yahoo.

This will reveal the "Tab" settings, where you can view and modify the existing keyboard shortcuts associated with tab management. Additionally, you can explore other categories such as "Bookmarks" and "Extensions" to customize shortcuts related to these functionalities.

Modifying Shortcuts : Once you have accessed the relevant shortcut settings, you can proceed to modify the existing shortcuts or create new ones. To change a shortcut, simply click on the current key combination next to the desired action and input the new key sequence that you wish to assign. This intuitive interface allows for seamless customization, enabling you to tailor shortcuts according to your browsing habits.

Saving Changes : After adjusting the shortcuts to your satisfaction, ensure to save the changes by clicking the "Save" or "OK" button within the Preferences window. This finalizes the customization process, implementing your personalized shortcuts within Safari.

This level of customization empowers you to navigate the web with enhanced efficiency and convenience, reflecting your individual preferences and optimizing your digital interactions.

With the ability to modify Safari shortcuts at your fingertips, you can seamlessly integrate the browser's functionality with your unique browsing style, ultimately enhancing your overall web browsing experience.

Testing the New Shortcuts

Once you have customized the shortcuts in Safari to align with your browsing preferences, it's essential to test the new key combinations to ensure they function as intended. Testing the new shortcuts not only validates the changes you've made but also allows you to familiarize yourself with the updated commands, ultimately enhancing your browsing efficiency.

To begin testing the new shortcuts, open Safari and navigate through various tasks using the modified key combinations. Start by utilizing the shortcuts for common actions such as opening new tabs, bookmarking pages, and navigating between tabs. By doing so, you can immediately gauge the impact of the customized shortcuts on your browsing workflow.

As you test the new shortcuts, pay close attention to their responsiveness and consistency. Verify that each key combination triggers the intended action without any conflicts or unexpected behavior. This meticulous testing process ensures that the customized shortcuts seamlessly integrate into your browsing experience, enhancing your overall efficiency and productivity.

Furthermore, consider testing the new shortcuts across different contexts and web pages. Whether you're browsing news articles, conducting research, or engaging in online transactions, assess how the modified shortcuts perform across diverse web content. This comprehensive testing approach allows you to adapt the shortcuts to various browsing scenarios, ensuring their reliability and effectiveness across different tasks and activities.

Additionally, take note of any adjustments or refinements that may be necessary during the testing phase. If certain shortcuts require fine-tuning or if you identify the need for additional customized commands, make the necessary modifications within Safari's preferences. This iterative testing and refinement process enable you to tailor the shortcuts to perfection, creating a browsing experience that seamlessly aligns with your unique habits and preferences.

By thoroughly testing the new shortcuts in Safari, you can confidently integrate these personalized key combinations into your daily browsing routine. The process of testing and refining the shortcuts ensures that they not only meet your immediate browsing needs but also contribute to a more streamlined and personalized web browsing experience.

As you navigate through the web using the newly customized shortcuts, you'll experience a heightened sense of control and efficiency, reflecting the tailored nature of your browsing interactions. Ultimately, the testing phase serves as the final validation of your customized shortcuts, solidifying their role in optimizing your Safari browsing experience.

In conclusion, the ability to change Safari shortcuts presents a valuable opportunity to personalize and optimize your browsing experience. By understanding the significance of shortcuts, exploring the customization options, and testing the modified key combinations, you can elevate your efficiency and control while navigating the web.

Customizing Safari shortcuts transcends mere convenience; it reflects a deeper level of engagement with your digital interactions. The process empowers you to tailor the browser's functionality to align with your unique browsing habits, ultimately enhancing your productivity and overall satisfaction with the browsing experience.

As you navigate through the digital landscape, the customized shortcuts serve as a reflection of your individual preferences and workflow. Whether you're streamlining tab management, accessing bookmarks with ease, or executing specific browser functions, the personalized shortcuts seamlessly integrate into your browsing routine, enhancing your control and efficiency.

Furthermore, the iterative nature of testing and refining the shortcuts underscores the dynamic nature of the browsing experience. It allows for continuous adaptation and optimization, ensuring that the shortcuts evolve alongside your evolving browsing habits and digital needs.

Ultimately, the process of changing Safari shortcuts is a testament to the user-centric approach that defines the Apple ecosystem. It exemplifies the commitment to empowering users with the tools and flexibility to tailor their digital experiences, fostering a sense of ownership and personalization.

As you embark on your journey to customize Safari shortcuts, remember that the process is not merely about modifying key combinations; it's about sculpting a browsing environment that resonates with your unique preferences and habits. Embrace the opportunity to infuse your digital interactions with a touch of personalization, and let the customized shortcuts become an extension of your browsing identity.

5 Ways to Switch Between Windows of Same App in Mac

If you like using multiple windows of the same app like Safari, Chrome, etc., you definitely would want to switch between them. Unfortunately, it’s not quite intuitive on MacBook to do so. But on the good side, you get different ways to toggle between windows on Mac. You can do it using a mouse, keyboard shortcut, or even the trackpad. Let’s learn how to switch between windows of the same app on Mac.

Table of Contents

1. Switch Between Windows on Mac Using Keyboard Shortcuts

There are three Mac keyboard shortcuts that you can use to toggle between windows of the same app like Chrome, Safari, etc., on your MacBook.

Using Command + ` Shortcut

The Command + ` shortcut is one of the most widely used keyboard shortcuts to switch between different windows of the same app on Mac.

1. Open any one of the windows of the app on your MacBook.

2 . Then, hold the Command button and press the ` (tilde) key repeatedly to cycle between the windows of the same app. Press Command + Shift + ` to cycle between the windows in the reverse direction.

3. Release the Command key after you have landed on the window that you want to switch to.

The method lets you switch between non-maximized windows of the same app only. It will not work for app windows in full-screen.
It will not work for minimized windows either.
It works for windows in the same space and not over multiple spaces.
There’s no visible user interface in this method.

How to Fix or Change Keyboard Shortcut to Switch Between Windows of the Same App

In case the shortcut doesn’t work or you feel that you may have accidentally changed the shortcut, you can easily check and confirm it. For that, open Finder and click on Window in the menu bar. Look for the shortcut mentioned next to Cycle Through Windows.

If you would like to change this shortcut, follow these steps:

1 . Click on the Apple icon in the Menu bar and select System Settings.

2. Go to Keyboard followed by Keyboard shortcuts.

3. Select the Keyboard from the left sidebar.

4. Next, make sure the checkbox next to Move focus to next window is selected. Then, double-click on the keyboard shortcut next to it i.e., Command icon ⌘ + ` and enter your own shortcut to change it. Click on Done to save the changes.

Using Command + F4 Shortcut

You can also use Ctrl + F4 or Ctrl + fn +F4 to switch between active or next windows of the same app on a MacBook. Again, this will not work for maximized or minimized windows.

Using Command + Tab Shortcut

Do you use Command + Tab keyboard shortcut to switch between different apps on your Mac? The same shortcut can be used to toggle between windows of the same app as shown below.

1. Hold the Command button and press the Tab button to open the app switcher screen.

2 . Without leaving the Command button, press the Tab button (or the right/left arrow keys) repeatedly to go to the app icon whose windows you want to switch to. Let’s say Chrome. So go to Chrome.

3. Once you are on the desired app icon i.e., Chrome in our example, press the Down arrow key while holding the Command button to see all the open windows of the same app.

4. Use the right/left arrow keys to navigate between the open windows. Then, press the Return key to switch to the selected window. Alternatively, you can even click on the window to switch to it.

This method works for minimized windows.
Can switch between apps too.
This method won’t work for maximized windows.
It doesn’t work between Spaces.

Tip: Check out different ways to open Launchpad on Mac .

2. Switch Between Windows on Mac Using Trackpad

You can also use your Mac’s trackpad to switch between windows of the same app in two different ways.

Using Mission Control (Control + Up Arrow or Swipe Up)

Mission Control shows all the windows and apps that are open on your MacBook on a single screen. That includes both minimized and full-screen apps, apps in Split View, or desktop spaces. You will find desktops/spaces as thumbnails at the top.

Follow these steps to toggle between windows on Mac using Mission Control:

1. First, you need to launch the Mission Control screen which can be done from any app in the following two ways:

Swipe up using three fingers on your trackpad.
Press Control + UP arrow keys. If it doesn’t work, try holding the keys a bit harder and for a second or two.

2. On the Mission Control screen, click on the window that you want to switch to from the same space.

3 . To switch between spaces or full-screen windows, swipe left or right with three fingers on the trackpad on the Mission Control screen.

Tip: By default, the open windows of the same app are ungrouped and will appear scattered. To group them, go to System Settings from the Apple icon > Desktop and Dock. Scroll down and enable the toggle next to Group windows by application under the Mission Control section.

Can see all apps and windows.
Works for minimized and maximized windows.
Works for windows on different desktops.
Will not work for hidden apps.

Tip : Know how to change scroll direction in Macbook .

Using App Expose (Control+ Down Arrow or Swipe Down)

Unlike Mission Control which shows all apps, this method shows all open windows of the same app on the same desktop.

1. Open any window of the app.

2. Swipe down using three fingers on the trackpad. Or, hold the Control button and press the Down arrow key once to see all open windows from the same app. Then, use the arrow keys to switch between windows of the same app on your Mac.

Show all open windows of the same app on one desktop.
Works for minimized windows.
Doesn’t work in full-screen windows or between desktops.

3. Switch Between Windows on Mac Using Mouse

Another easy way to toggle between windows on Mac is from the Dock. Right-click on the app icon in the Dock using your mouse and you will see the list of open windows of the same app. Click on the window that you want to switch to.

If you aren’t used to right-click, you can access the app menu in the Dock in the following ways:

Press and hold down the trackpad using one finger on the app icon.
Click the app icon in the Dock using two fingers on the trackpad.
Move the mouse pointer over the app icon and then Ctrl + click on the app icon.
Works for both full-screen and minimized windows.

Tip: Check out cool apps to customize Mac’s Dock .

Using Window in Menu Bar

Just like the Dock, you can see and switch between windows of the same app on your MacBook using the Window tab in the Menu bar.

1. Open any one window of the app.

2 . Click on Window in the Menu bar. You will see the list of open windows at the bottom. Click on the window that you want to switch to.

Works for minimized and full-screen apps.
Need to open at least one window of the concerned app.

4. Switch Between Maximized Windows

When any of your app windows is full screen, it will act as an individual Space. To switch between app windows when at least one of them is maximized, use Ctrl + right or Ctrl + left arrow to switch between spaces. You can also swipe left or right on the trackpad to switch between full-screen app windows.

Alternatively, you can switch between maximized windows from Dock, Window menu, or Mission Control.

5. Using Hot Corners

Hot Corner is a special feature available on MacBooks that lets you assign different actions to four corners of the screen. You can assign the ability to switch between windows of the same application to one of the hot corners.

1. Open System Settings on your MacBook.

2. Go to Desktop & Dock and click on Hot Corners at the bottom.

3. Click on the drop-down box for the corner using which you want to switch between application windows.

4 . Select Application Windows from the menu and click on Done.

5. Now, whenever you want to see or switch between windows of the same app, move your mouse pointer to that particular corner when the app is open. You can also open any other app and it will show its open windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How to merge app windows into one window?

You can merge different windows of the same into one tabbed window where each window will act as a tab. Open the app and click on Window in the Menu bar. Select Merge all Windows. Please note that this feature works for some apps only.

How to Zoom In and Out on a Mac: 4 Methods

Quick links, zoom in or out on your mac using keyboard shortcuts, zoom in and out in various apps on macos, zoom in and out using trackpad gestures on a mac, use your mac's built-in magnifier to zoom in.

Having difficulties viewing what's on your Mac? Zooming in will make everything a bit easier for you to see. macOS has several built-in methods to help you zoom in and out on your content. Let's look at them below.

The easiest way to zoom in and out is to use a keyboard shortcut on your Mac . There are three main keyboard shortcuts that will trigger the zoom feature in the vast majority of Mac apps:

Cmd + Plus (+): Zoom in on your Mac.
Cmd + Minus (-): Zoom out on your Mac.
Cmd + Zero (0): Return to the default zoom level.

If you don't like using keyboard shortcuts, you can still access these common zoom options from the menu bar. Once you have the relevant app open, click the View tab and choose from Zoom In , Zoom Out , or Actual Size , depending on your needs.

Many built-in and third-party apps for macOS also have their own zoom features. You can use these options instead of the generic keyboard shortcuts mentioned earlier. Here are some examples of how to use the zoom feature in various popular apps for Mac:

Safari: Go to Safari > Settings > Websites > Page Zoom from the menu bard. From the When visiting other websites dropdown menu, select your preferred zoom percentage.
Google Chrome: Click the three-dot menu at the top-right corner and select the Plus ( +) or Minus (-) icons from the Zoom option.
Preview: Click the plus (+) or minus (-) magnifier icon to zoom in and out on an image you opened.
Photos: Press Z on your keyboard to zoom in or out on your photo by 100 percent, or use the zoom slider at the top to zoom in to a maximum of 400 percent.

There's also a way to zoom in and out using your Mac's trackpad gestures . You'll like this method if you're used to using the trackpad for all your tasks.

Click the Apple logo in the menu bar and go to System Settings > Trackpad . Select the Scroll & Zoom tab and ensure that Zoom in or out and Smart zoom are toggled on. This way, you can pinch or double-tap with two fingers on the trackpad to zoom in and out on your Mac.

In most cases, the general keyboard shortcuts and trackpad gestures mentioned above should be sufficient. However, you can't use them to zoom in on, say, the macOS menu bar or your Google Chrome tabs. If you need to zoom in on these parts of the macOS user interface, you can enable the built-in magnifier on your Mac.

Head to System Settings > Accessibility > Zoom and toggle on Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom . For the Modifier key for scroll gesture option, choose Control from the dropdown menu. For Zoom style , choose Picture-in-Picture .

Now, to zoom in, press and hold the Control button on your keyboard. At the same time, use two fingers to swipe upwards on your trackpad for the magnifier window to appear. Swiping upwards multiple times will increase the zoom level.

To zoom out and exit the magnifier, swipe downwards with two fingers until the zoom level returns to default. The magnifier window will then disappear on its own.

You can customize this zoom setting in several ways. For instance, you can choose Full Screen or Split Screen to change how the zoomed-in parts of your Mac screen will appear. Instead of a small magnifier window, Split Screen will use a quarter of your Mac screen to display the zoomed section.

As another example, if you don't like swiping on your trackpad and using the modifier key to zoom, you can opt to enable Use Keyboard shortcuts to zoom . When this setting is enabled, you'll have three additional keyboard shortcuts that you can use to zoom in and out on your Mac:

Option + Cmd + 8: Press this once to activate zoom. Press it again to deactivate.
Option + Cmd + Equals(=): Press these keys to zoom in on your screen.
Option + Cmd + Minus(-): Press these buttons to zoom out from your screen.

Overall, if you want to zoom in or out on your Mac, the easiest way is to use the three main keyboard shortcuts or the zoom options in the View tab. Popular apps such as Photos and Google Chrome also have their own zoom buttons that you can use.

If the generic options are not what you're looking for, there's still a built-in magnifier available. It's one of your Mac's Accessibility features for people with visual impairments . This function will allow you to zoom in anywhere on the user interface.

How to Zoom In and Out on a Mac: 4 Methods

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, beta 2 of ios 17.5, ipados 17.5, macos sonoma 14.5, available for testing.

The second beta versions of iOS 17.5, iPadOS 17.5, MacOS Sonoma 14.5, tvOS 17.5, watchOS 10.5, and visionOS 1.2, have been made available by Apple to participants in the beta testing programs for Apple system software.

Both developer and public beta testers are able to access the new builds on any enrolled device that is compatible with the system software version.

What’s coming in iOS 17.5, iPadOS 17.5, macOS Sonoma 14.5, etc?

While beta system software is constantly in flux, you can expect the regular round of security enhancements and bug fixes to be included in these releases.

There are no obvious major new features or changes, though there are changes in iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5 that are aimed specifically at EU users that allow for downloading apps directly from websites, without having to use the App Store in those countries. This is due to regulatory changes in the EU, and it’s unlikely that such capabilities will carry to other regions, at least without those regions also engaging in similar regulations.

As always with beta system software, things can change during beta releases, and before final versions become available.

When will the final versions of iOS 17.5, iPadOS 17.5, macOS Sonoma 14.5 be Released?

Apple typically goes through several beta versions, often issued weekly or bi-weekly, before releasing a finalized version to the general public. Therefore, we can assume the final versions of iOS 17.5, macOS Sonoma 14.5, et al, will likely be released some time in May.

There’s speculation that the new software updates may arrive alongside some updated Apple hardware, like new iPads. As usual, rumors should be taken with a grain of salt.

How to Download iOS 17.5 beta 2, iPadOS 17.5 beta 2, macOS Sonoma 14.5 beta 2

You must have a device enrolled in the beta programs (developer or public beta), and your Apple ID must also be enrolled to participate. Anyone can do this, but beta system software is aimed at advanced users.

For Mac, macOS Sonoma 14.5 beta 2 can be found by going to:

Go to  Apple menu > System Settings
Go to “General” and then to “Software Update”
Choose to download and install macOS Sonoma beta

For iPhone and iPad, finding beta 2 is possible by:

Go to Settings app, then to “General”
Go to “Software Update” and choose to install the beta version

Other devices can get the latest beta updates through their respective software update mechanisms.

What are the latest stable Apple system software versions?

The most recent stable final builds of systme software for Apple devices are currently iOS 17.4.1 for iPhone, iPadOS 17.4.1 for iPad , macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 for Mac , watchOS 10.4 for Apple Watch, tvOS 17.4 for Apple TV, and visionOS 1.1.1 for Apple Vision Pro.
