I am a newbie Mac owner (5 days!) and loving every minute. But still trying to find my way around in the OSX environment. Thus, my question:
In Windows, when I want to select several non-consecutive items in a list, I hold the ctrl key and click the items I want. If I want a range of consecutive items, I hold the ctrl AND shift key and click on the first and the last item and windows highlights everything in between.
On the Mac, I hold the command key (clover thing) and click to select non-consecutive items, but is there anything equivalent to the Ctrl-shift (to select a lot of consecutive things with individually clicking each one)?
Thanks.

In the Boot Camp Control Panel, you can change the default behavior, so that pressing a function key controls app features, and pressing a function key and the Fn key controls hardware features. In Windows on your Mac, click in the right side of the taskbar, click the Boot Camp icon, then choose Boot Camp Control.

Ctrl F In Macbook Pro
I just recently switched from a PC to a macbook pro, and there's just one thing that's bugging me. Does safari have anything similar to ctrl+F? Internet Explorer had this thing where you held control, hit F, and then a window with a text box popped up. However, I can't find any shortcut that does the same thing in Excel for the Mac. If you had looked in Excel Help ('Excel keyboard shortcuts' topic), or if you had typed 'F4' into the 'We'll search the Office for Mac forum for an answer' box in the orange area above, you'd have been able to find out that the answer to this very frequently asked. Control+F, or Command+F on a Mac, is the keyboard shortcut for the Find command. If you're in a web browser and want to search text on a web page, pressing Control+F will bring up a search box. How to Use Your Mac’s Function Keys You may wonder what those function keys running along the top of the keyboard do. These function keys are labeled F1 through F12/F19 (how many you have depends on your keyboard), along with an Escape key and an Eject key that looks like a triangle on top of a horizontal line.
