Joost shortcuts
I love keyboard shortcuts. They just make me feel so smart, so nimble, so adept. I play my keyboard like Liberace played his piano – with about as much flair.
Joost has great shortcuts too – and it’s more than just Alt+Tab / CMD+Tab to look like you’re doing work when you’re actually watching Joost.
Drum roll please…
