⌘⇧1

Everyone knows ⌘⇧3 for taking screenshots on a Mac, or ⌘⇧4 for screenshotting a region. But I never thought to ask: what happened to ⌘⇧1 or ⌘⇧2? Turns out: they were originally designed for ejecting floppy disks. I guess people did a lot of ejecting back in the day.

I’ve since remapped ⌘⇧1 with Cleanshot to take OCR screenshots (copy and text in the image directly to my keyboard, rather than saving the image directly).

I learned this computer fun fact, and many others, from Marcin Wichary’s delightful website and article that everyone should subscribe to.
