What Is the Shortcut for Selecting All Items on a MacBook?

Alright, here’s the thing about the MacBook: if you want to grab everything at once in an app, you just punch in Command + A. It’s like magic for picking out all the goodies, whether you’re mingling with files in Finder or just trying to wrangle all that text in a doc or a web page.

Let’s break it down real quick:

• First, make sure you’re in the zone where you want this shortcut to do its thing. Then, hold down the Command key and tap the “A.” Boom! You’ve got everything selected.

Now, in Finder, it’s super handy. You can snag every file and folder with it. Text Editors? Highlight the whole shebang. Web Browsers? Grab all the text on a page. Perfect for copying, right?

I’ve got a couple more tricks up my sleeve if you’re aiming for precision like selecting a few but not all:

• Shift-Click: Start with one item, hold Shift, and click another to select everything in between.
• CMD-Click: Command-click lets you pick and choose without grabbing everything.

These moves really streamline your macOS hustle. And if you’re feeling curious, you might wanna check out more tips on Apple Support.
