These life-changing shortcuts are RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.
Note that some of these tips and tricks will vary depending on which exact iteration of OS X you have.
Use Command + Shift + V to paste text without formatting.
If you've ever copied and pasted text from a website into an email, you've experienced the frustration. All of a sudden your email has this chunk of mismatched text, and it takes you at least a minute fiddling with the font options to make it all conform.
For some programs (like Word), the shortcut is Command + Shift + Option + V.
If you need to type a special character, the easiest way is to hold down the letter and a character menu will pop up.
From there, you can select the special character you want to use. This will especially come in handy if you're fond of typing words like resumè, Beyoncè, naïf.
Place your mouse cursor over any text and press Command + Control + D to get an informative pop-up menu.
It includes the dictionary definition, the thesaurus entry, and the Wikipedia entry.
