# [[macOS]] - System Settings Shortcuts Pressing the **Option** key, and then one of the native media keys, macOS will take you to the related System Preferences pane for that setting! This only works for a few of them, but it's mostly the ones you'd want to have fast access to anyways! - `Option + Brightness` = Display Preferences - `Option + Mission Control` = Settings - `Option + Vol Up` = Sound Preferences ## How I use this I typically use this to just quickly open Audio or Displays preferences, especially when troubleshooting for screensharing in a meeting or things of that nature. The [[macOS - Quickly Mirror Screens|quickly mirror screens]] option is also handy for this. I also often use this even when just opening system preferences to go to Network Settings or something. Since it's a built in shortcut and I highly doubt anyone is overriding it somehow, it's been much more consistent than even using Spotlight when opening up preferences on a computer!
