Superb as always 🙂 I have a small additional tip for you last one. When holding CMD+Shift when clicking on a link or searching in the safari address bar the new tab opens in the foreground - not the background.

Thankyou for the tip about 'Stationery' in the info box. I have used files as templates for years, but just recently, opening and editing a file automatically updates that file! You used to be able to disable the auto-update, but not now. However using this tip solves that problem! Thankyou.

Great video thanks. I use multiple screens with my MacBook, mostly for photography and have been a windows user until I went all Apple. I don't understand how to get the most use out of dual screens and multiple desktops. Sometimes my dock is on my secondary screen and can't get it back on my primary screen, and when I transfer an open app from one screen to the other, it only comes over in stage manager, and will not open on that monitor. It would be useful to do a video on working with multiple monitors. Thanks

could you share tips about how to start the day by one click to arrange the main 2 apps onto a monitor (usually is external one) without manually find them in other desktop space and put them together? Usually the config messes up after we disconnect the mac from the docking station. Repeating this daily few times is very annoying. thanks!
@dbrewood Ай бұрын
Ref the App folders added to the dock, great tip. But it looks like the folders are stuck at the right hand side of the dock? Is there no way of repositioning them so they sit in the main dock space?

Moooin, nice video mate! I consider myself somewhat a power user of macOS but I learned something new today! An idea for your next video (if you can find the solution for this one) About a year ago I saw a video with a Finder bit that I wasn't able to reproduce (or find the video again) since then: Sometimes you'd have a Finder window open at a certain location (say your job application picture). But the website you're trying to upload the picture to doesn't support drag and drop but rather opens a finder overlay in Safari. So you'd have to navigate in this new finder window all the way to the picture. In the video, the dude could hold down a combination of keys and then click into the Finder window that was already at the desired location. The Finder window in safari would automatically switch to that location. At least for my workflow, something like this would be extremely helpful. Maybe you'll find a way to figure this out :)

The shortcut to open up a few apps is pure gold, and I’m going to use it. HOWEVER, I’m not a huge user of shortcuts, so I’m kind of ignorant here. How do I great the opposite? A shortcut that closes the same apps at the end of my workday?

OMG, I've had a "?" in my finder toolbar for YEARS that didn't do anything and I had no idea how it got there or how to get rid of it. And now, I just held Command and dragged it off! Thank you so much! =oD

Great tips. Another tip for folder is instead of replacing with an icon of a pen (your example), copy and paste the blank folder from the ‘info’ window to a program like PowerPoint and then place a transparent icon or text on the folder. Select all, copy, then paste that into the ‘info’ window and the folder will now have an icon on it or the text. This way you know it is a folder but the text or icon identify its purpose. Hope that makes sense. I also use this to label folders so it is obvious the purpose of a folder at a glance.

Instead of right clicking to create the app alias, just drag the app to the new folder and a shortcut/alias will automatically be created in that folder.
@robertdavis7262 Ай бұрын
I think that is only true if the folders are on different computers. However, command-option drag between folders will add an alias to the new folder without moving the original file (or creating a new file in the old folder).
