Trash Bin Fun

The Trash Bin in Mac OS X is a thing of beauty. Like most computer trash bins, you can place, restore, and permanently remove files from your system. But did you know there a few time-saving shortcuts for the Trash Bin in OS X?

If you want to move a file to the Trash, simply select it in the Finder and press Command + Delete and the file will be moved to the Trash bin.

If you want to empty the Trash, press Command + Shift + Delete and the Trash will be emptied.

You may have already known the previous two commands, but the next one I found completely by accident one day.

If you open the Trash bin and see a file that you wish to restore, select it and press Command + Delete again. The file will be moved back to its original location.

These keyboard shortcuts will definitely save you time in your file management. If you have any other tips or tricks, feel free to share them with me.
