Hello Wayne, There are lots of dictation commands on the Mac. First, make sure that you have selected Use Enhanced Dictation in the Dictation & Speech pane of System preferences. Then go to the Accessibility pane and select Dictation in the Accessibility features table. Now click the Dictation Commands… button and you’ll find a table containing a long list of commands. You can also assign your own commands to specific key combinations. I’ve found that selecting an application to which these should apply doesn’t seem to work. But selecting all applications does. So if you choose to add a command for Cmd-Shift-d, it will work for sending an e-mail and for opening the Desktop folder.
