Mac keyboard is bit different and some things may not be obvious
Hash key --> #
Anyway to cut a long story short it’s ALT + 3. Not too much hassle, and apparently a common thing with Mac UK keyboards.Copy paste
apple key & C
Right click
ctrl & click
I was playing with a Mac the other day and I noticed that the red ball with an X does not actually close a program. If this the way it works or there is an option to make the X close or minimize them?
The red X is to close the window only. To minimize hit he yellow -. If you want to quit a program hit command+q or choose the applications menu and quit.
This is because on Macs the applications aren't restricted to a root window (nor are windows "instances" of an application on a Mac). Most apps present the user with document windows... which are documents in an application and not the application itself.
The default behavior in Windows stems from it's origins as a shell for running GUI apps. Since that time most Windows apps have been rooted in a main (root) window and closing that window closes the application.
This rooted application environment is actually a limitation of Windows rather than a feature. Other operating systems (some going back to the 80's) avoided this limitation, but it has followed Windows from it's earliest incarnations
