I am printing these as I type.
Where can you get them to rpint or download i’am not able to find the download link on this website, or is it only a trick to get traffic?
there is no trick or anything, you get the links once you subscribe. Read the second part of the article it explains the whole thing.
ok Now I’ve subscribed and it keeps shooting me back to this same page….Y???
Now, just wait for an email from us. It should be coming shorlty, if it’s not already there
Nice. It would be complete if there were linux ones as well.
If you mean command-line work, then you can get pretty much all you need to know from…
man command
command --help
Otherwise, Google is your friend.
Here are some Linux Cheat Sheets for you
The One page Linux Manual
The Unix/Linux commands cheat sheet
Nice sheets
For those interested, I have a Subversion cheatsheet available at http://ariejan.net/svncheatsheet/
thanks
Google reader doesn’t need a cheetsheat. Just hit ‘?’ in reader and you get all this information.
Just an FYI for Gmail, the Tab then Enter combo to send the message also works in Firefox.
just forwarded this site to some friends….great links, but I agree that both gmail and google reader aren’t really needed, since Google places them in the “help” section of their respective sites.
Thanks though, great list!
Not clear in the firefox(win) sheet: ctrl-shift-t = restore closed tab. This command will go back more than one level.
Works fine for me. Just checked it.
This is pretty awesome, I use all these programs you have here. Thanks. Dugg
Ultimate cheat-sheet source..
Couple of small mistakes/omissions in the Firefox shortcuts.
Ctrl-9 doesn’t necessarily open the 9th tab. It opens the last tab (the very end one), whether it’s the 3rd or the 26th. Useful, actually.
I don’t see Alt-left-arrow for Back, or Alt-right-arrow for Forward. Also, in my FF3 at least, shift-backspace doesn’t go forward. Doesn’t do anything at all, actually.
Great list, though. I did discover a few new ones. Plus I can get rid of one of my extensions, now that I know there’s already a shortcut for restoring closed tabs. Nice.
Thanks.
Here are some useful cheat sheets for developers, check it out: http://www.addedbytes.com/cheat-sheets/
My favorite MAC OS X cheet :
Command-shift+4 = Take a screenshot of whatever is selected
Very useful article. Thanks a lot!
for the ms windows cheatsheet…
CTRL + SHIFT + ESC open taskmanager directly
Hi,
I work for the company that produces the sheet listed as the Windows guide. This is actually a 2 page cheat sheet. The second page includes keyboard shortcuts for special characters. You can get the entire free guide at http://www.barcharts.com/system/downloads/free/Shortcuts%20(QT).pdf
you know the Mac one pretty much copies directly from Apple’s site, right? Readers might as well go there and print it from there directly - it’ll look tons better than the ‘work’ you Matthew Elton did.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343
and that second one is _stolen_. just like your logo, which looks like the vmware logo. just uglier, and with gross artifacts.
IIf you thik that vmware and MakeUseOf logos are similar you must be an idiot. No further comments.
Try to get this done but is difficult , i’am working for the best payroll company in the netherlands Payned payrolling and need to keep everything up to date this would help.

Has everyone forgotten about SpamGourmet.com? They don’t have the sexy inbox interface but they’ve been chowing down on Spam for over 8 years. But I’m glad OtherInbox is improving on the concept. Long Live Disposable Email Addresses !!!
I could not find the link in my RSS feed. I got it by subscribing to the email version.
It’s there, just checked. The link says: “New subscriber? Get your freebies at MakeUseOf Downloads. Enjoy!”
What if you are already subscribed? I printed it off a while back and wanted to print of several more copies for some work I’m doing. I don’t want to subscribe twice and get twice the emails. Is there a place to log in and get to them?
Thanks
Just look for it in the emails or RSS feeds. The line should say
“New subscriber? Get your freebies at MakeUseOf Downloads. Enjoy!”
Hi I like your site very much…Nice posts….
I have subscribed on your site…..but even after i am unable to download cheat sheet….
Will you let me know how can i get it???
I know I have read above that others could not seem to find out how to download the cheat sheets and the response was that it would be emailed. I signed up about a week ago and the emails I got don’t seem to have anything to do with the download for them. Could someone please help me? I also just signed up under another account incase I had missed something, but I don’t think I have. I really would appreciate any help in this. by the way LOVE THIS SITE!!!! =D
Did you see “New subscriber? Get your freebies at MakeUseOf Downloads. Enjoy!” in the emails? It should be located near the bottom of ever y email you get from us. Anyhow I will be sending you download link to your email.
I have the same problem. Receiving emails fine, but no download link is shown within…
Just emailed you
I too have not found out how to get cheat sheets. Signed up a couple of days ago and haven’t received any emails. And I just keep getting a subscription loop. PLease send me the cheat sheets
go on the mobile version of the site and they are there on every article lol.
I got it, but it wasn’t in the email that I had received before. I went back and checked. But it was in the email you just sent out. Thanks very much. =D
I didn’t get a link for the cheat sheets. All I got once I clicked on the link provided in the email sent to me was this message:
Email Subscription Confirmed!A message will be delivered to ariadnele@hotmail.com if the publisher has produced new content on that day. No new content, no email for you
Also.. How do I unsubscribe from getting daily emails?
Jana:
Me too. I think this is scam site and am going to find a way to tell the world about it being either a scam or the very worst functioning site I’ve ever seen.

@ Kelly
I sent you an email with the download link. It seems we have an issue with folks who subscribe via email, the download link is not sent immediately as it suppoosed to. I will take a look at it today.
Hi Kelly,
I got mine. It’s not a scam, but it is possibly the worst functioning site. Just send an email to Aibek - about 4 comments up and he will send you the correct link to where you can get all the cheat sheets. And then the emails start in a few days with cool stuff, some new some not so new.
OK, I subscribed, waited for and received an email from Aibek. There were several interesting links, but not this one.
