Shortcuts in OS X (Google Chrome, Skim, Finder, ...)
There are few shortcuts I always forget, and a few I have not even discovered or set up.
- Google Chrome refresh page without cache
Cmd + Shift + r - Google Chrome go to the top
Cmd + UP_ARROW - Google Chrome go to the bottom
Cmd + DOWN_ARROW - Open terminal from Finder in current folder
I tried several guides for OS X 10.10 - bot nothing worked out of the box for me Ctrl + DOWN_ARROWlaunches mission controlCtrl + LEFT_ARROWandCtrl + RIGHT_ARROWswitch to workspace left and right respectively

Spectacle shortcuts
Spectacle is a window manager which allows you to move window around. Its functionality varies from:
- moving window to left/right half screen,
- maximizing selected window,
- filling up/down half,
- to moving window to center or left/right third.
