Switched to macOS since 2016. Tried windows last week. I forgot how user friendly windows is. I totally understand this man’s pain. Instead of stage manager, i would love to have a revamped finder.

I switched from windows to mac in 2020 without ever having used macOS before, I found it went perfectly as soon as I stopped trying to use it as if it were windows. It’s a different os and you need to use it differently, now I could never go back to windows

I enjoy watching vids like this because it gives me some sort of happiness that I’m not the only person who goes crazy trying to navigate in MacOS. What’s hard is that our muscle memory for decades is built into Windows, so trying to change that is hard enough…but then Apple also does very weird things (that are almost just counter intuitive to Windows) and it becomes frustrating. For me, the absolute worst is the Apple File Manager. Everything about it drives me nuts. I think the Windows File Manager is 100x better! Just trying to navigate and find folders becomes such a beat down of a process that seems to take forever to find folders. Anyway, nice video and good luck! Lol

Just a few pointers as a long term Mac and windows user Command w closes the window, command q quits a programme, you can’t quit finder as it’s an integral part of Mac OS when you want to close a finder window you should use command + W For copying command c is copy, command v is paste, command option V is move (Mac equivalent of cut and paste in windows) Window arrangement is designed to work differently, multitasking is spread between windows with quick switch gestures available on your touch pad, expand every window to full screen and use three fingers swiping left and right to switch between open windows quickly. Also as you have multiple monitors when you drag an app to another monitor you can switch between windows on each monitor, treated as two separate desktops which is very useful when doing a lot of multi tasking. Dragging two fingers from the right side edge of the touch pad opens notification centre and pinching three fingers and your thumb opens launchpad (no need to try and open apps from finder) in fact gestures on your touchpad solves a lot of problems you have - well worth looking through all of these in system preferences. Scrolling left and right or up and down uses two fingers left and right or up and down.

I switched to apple after being a windows user all my life. 1st let me say the Mac mini m1 is fast but I feel mac os is in the stone ages when it comes to arranging and resizing windows . Another issue is the inability of the Mac to lose focus from a text entry when selecting another window. My final complaint is with the hardware. You pay more for less their entry-level machines only have 8g of ram and 256GB of SSD. That's so 2005. They should have at least 16g and 512 on their entry-level machines. You have to pay almost twice as much for a Mac than for a comparable windows machine. I think my next purchase is going to be a pc again. It may not be as snappy but at least I can upgrade my memory and SSD without paying an arm and a leg.

You can use Command+W to close a finder window, but you can't quit the finder. The finder must run for the OS to function, similar to Windows Explorer, which is always running in the background. Command+W closes windows, Command+Q quits an application, and Command+H hides an application. The Command+Q should work on all apps except the finder.

Same thing…I bought a Mac, gave out my 7th gen i3 windows 10. Close to a week, I returned the mac then bought hp omen…the macOS is so hard to get used to

I got my Macbook Air M1 over 2 years ago. I started making a list of annoyances, and gave up after about 30. The MacOS window management and file management are like from the 1990s. But I kept it because the hardware is so good.

9 months late but here are the possible solutions as of today For snapping to left and right, you can hover over green button with option pressed to show the "Move window to the left/right side of the screen" (to make it faster you can tie it to a keyboard shortcut in system settings. Double clicking safari resizes the page to the optimum ratio to show all content. Similarly, finder resizes to show maximum content for the page (for example, if there is a long list, it will vertically extend as much as possible to show maximum listings. If the files have long names, it will horizontally extend as far as possible to show full names. Depends on the finder window you are at). To cut paste, you copy (cmd + c) and "paste and delete" (cmd + opt + v) instead of just paste (cmd + v). Anything in the finder (file, folder, application) can be opened by 1. cmd + down arrow key or 2. cmd + o (enter is for renaming in finder). You need third party app for separate mouse and trackpad scrolling :(. cmd + w closes the window and cmd + q quits (kills) the app. Finder can't be killed since its like windows explorer and the entire OS runs on it. Finder windows can be closed using cmd + w tho. Transfer speeds can only be seen in terminal. Toggle between open windows of same app by cmd + ~.

I love how Apple sheep's keep saying that "Omg I bought the maxed MacBook Pro to boost my productivity", but when you ask what they do on it that boosts the productivity... They reply with "I check emails and news"... I also love how they are saying that windows is shot and Mac is the best, yet Mac is the worst Os for productivity. Windows roasts Mac with multitasking, MacOs has basically none.

Even many mac users don't know that you can cut and paste on mac: To cut: CMD+C To paste: CMD+OPTION/ALT+V Although since around Catalina, they finally added "Move file ..." into the right-click context menu. Which is equivalent of paste when you cut something on windows

By double click the title bar of a window in macOS, the system presents "the best size it thinks fit" for the content in that window. For example, if the finder is presenting a lot of files, and you have to scroll to find things, by double clicking the title bar, the window will become as large as possible to present all the content. Vice versa.

I had the same experience, the m1 MacBook Air was my first Mac, it was very different, but it turned out to be my most used device, the apps, mostly adobe just work sooo well on this thing, so, the changes in functionality just became the list of my problems.

I was planning to buy the 14inch MacBook bro, after watching this video I am having second thoughts 😂

This video echoes my experience. I bought a refurbed MBP as my first Mac and while it's a great piece of hardware and while I genuinely like aspects of the OS, it will never cause me to completely ditch Windows.

As a 14+ years of Windows user, Completely switching to Mac as my main machine was HELL, but believe me, it's only in the beginning, after you google issues, find workarounds, know how the os is built and is designed to operate, MacOs is such a joy to use, and now after almost 1 year, I can't go back to windows.

Great video. I went through the same issues when I bought the 14" MBookPro. My solution was to return it and use my lenovo linux x1 carbon and my desktop PC.

Some of these complaints can be updated with your settings. Also, to make the window snap to one side, you hover over the green button and there are three options, Fullscreen, left side, and right side. When you select the left or right side, it pops up the other windows you have open to take up the other half of the screen.

You do not need to buy a tool to manage windows. Hover over the green maximise button, then hold down option and you'll get options to arrange your windows. (If you don't use option it will use full screen modes). I will admit that it's not the best. Spectacle is a free window manager alternative.

2:16 There is a way in MacOS. You just need to press the Window tab on top of the screen, and there are 2 options shown: 1.) Tile Window to the Left of the Screen 2.) Tile Window to the Right of the Screen Eventually, it would result the same way windows behave when you drag the screen to the left or right.

Not being able to cut a file is a safety measure. You can move it though by copying it (cmnd + C) and “specil”-pasting it to the location you want by pressing options + cmnd + V. I don’t know if it is answered but here you go

You can make the mouse and trackpad scroll in opposite directions by downloading the Logitech software for your MX Master, and setting the direction there. That was the only way I was able to make the directionality operate separately from the trackpad.

Pressing Return will rename files in macOS. You can open files by pressing Cmd + Down Arrow. Maximize button: it resizes the window to fit the content. Horizontal scrolling can be done using the scroll wheel of any mouse. However, you have to hold down Shift while scrolling. Closing Windows: CMD+W will close the active window of an app. CMD+Option+W will close all windows of the active app. CMD+Q will close an app and all of its windows. You can't quit Finder, because it's the system. So if you want to close Finder windows, use CMD+W or CMD+Option+W. I hope this was somewhat helpful.

in the finder: CMD+C (copy) CMD+V (paste) CMD+V+OPT(cut)

I find myself in the same situation after switching permanently to macOS. I've been using Windows and Linux everyday since 1999 for both design and development. And MacOS for basic admin stuff since 2010, which has been fun until I decided to do some serious work on it. I find myself less productive. Some things just don't make sense. Multiple desktop is a nightmare for me. If I open any app, including Finder, I will pop-up in the desktop where an instance is already running. So I have to move it to the desired desktop every time. Quite frustrating when working on multiple projects at the same time. Even Linux looks more intuitive. I hope I'll get used to it.

MacOS works in a completely different mind set. It works best in Desktops for multitasking instead of many tiles of app windows in a single desktop.

I run Windows 11, Linux, and Mac OS. Mac OS is a bit behind leaving you to use more steps to do simple tasks and it drives me nuts.

well, in conclusion do you recommend mac os to windows user? i am about to buy a macbook air nowadays as a 20 years windows user.

The same here first mac after 25 years of Windows and my last laptop was dell 15.6 9570, but I'm very happy with.

Command-Q is actually “quit” so it will quit an application. The Finder is not actually an application, it’s sort of the main part of the operating system that you interact with. Command-W on the other hand, is “close window” and will close Finder windows. In applications that use multiple windows, command-W will also close the active window, but command-Q will quit the entire application.

It is implemented you right click the green dot in the top left of a tab and it will let you choose left or right but you have to have both apps open before trying it

Copy and past file and working with Finders drove me crazy at my work 's Mac. Windows Explorer was so easy and intuitive. Windows multi display support and windows management is better for me too.

First off, I appreciate what you are going through. I'm a Mac guy, and when I got a job that was Windows based, I went through the same thing. I know that you are experienced with Windows, but I have significantly more time on the Mac. Started with a Mac SE to be specific. I was using Apples OS in 1984, which the PC side struggled along with DOS, until Windows 95 (which mimicked the Apple OS). The biggest draw for the PC crowed was the games they wanted to run. Once you know how to run Mac OS you start to see the system. Some people tell me that this is what they did with the building of their computer. I really don't want something that I have to fix, change or alter to get what I want. I want to purchase a computer that does what it is supposed to. My selection is smaller with Apples products, but let me assure you that you would be hard pressed to get the performance of the M1 chip in any like priced PC. And if you unplug your DELL XPS from life support, you now have a real short life span of usability. I was really disappointed with the PC itself but I did learn that if you give it time and ask questions from the IT people, I got the hang of it. And not being a laptop guy, when Covid hit and I had to take a Dell laptop home, (Cost was about $1,700.00 Cdn.) I really got the shock of my life. The screen went dim when I unplugged it from Life Support, and the battery life was terrible. I had to contact IT and they told me why.

Thank you, for an excellent "Real World" review video of someone moving between the windows operating system and the Mac operating system (Mac OS). It was kind of funny hearing some of your concerns between the two operating systems. As far as myself, not being a power user, I prefer on my Apple computers never to use any "short cuts" which, also includes almost never using a "right click" button on the mouse. Guess, I am just a "vintage" old school Apple user from back in the day when, the mouse only had one button (smile...smile).

I hate the experience when it comes to cutting files but it's simple. When you have two finder windows open (where you want to move from and the destination) just drag and drop the file and that'll do.

Thank for sharing experience. I just bought my today first Mac. Do you see any one KZfaq video can teach me all at once ? I am frustrated googling all

I'm using the Moom app on my Mac computers to manage window placements via self chosen keyboard shortcuts. On my 27inch iMac I have 6 screens open at the same time. This combined with the easy multi desktop switching via gestures, the Mac becomes a beast at multi tasking.

4:27 to move is command, option + v. or, copy it, then holding option right and the move option will be there

Your English is very good. Different OS's have........differences. Trying to say one is "better" is not universal. Use what works best for you and carry on with life. Have a great day!

About cut pasting Use Cmd+C and then double click on the place you want to paste it and then HOLD The Option key and then choose “Move"

Hard press on the app in the dock so you can see all the windows of that app and go between them. If you don’t know what hard press means it basically means to just click on it with more force than usual.

If you use MacOS expecting it to behave like Windows you’re gonna have a hard time.

The green button in the top of the windows is the maximize (full screen) button.

FYI to my knowledge window snapping was patented by Microsoft which is the reason why apple hasn’t implemented it in macOS; I may be wrong but I remember reading that somewhere

One thing I always tell people that are going to switch from Windows to Mac is you're inevitably going to also have to change the way you think about certain things and embrace the "macOS way" in order to get the most out of the experience. That window snapping feature you mention that you miss from Windows -- ugh, personally I am so glad that's not a native part of macOS. macOS embraces the concept that your computer desktop is like a literal desktop with many overlapping objects that you can quickly sift through to get to what you want. Unless you're in fullscreen mode for the purpose of concentrating on one particular task, your individual windows should generally only take up the minimal amount of space that you need them to take up. One advantage of this is, if you get in the habit of working in this way, you can easily access things (e.g. to drag something) on the actual desktop behind your open windows without having to minimise something. Or drag something from one window to another. I also hate the idea of my OS automatically (even if only when I tell it to) resizing a bunch of windows so they take up equal amounts of room filling the entirety of the screen (if you want that sometimes by the way, that's what split view in fullscreen mode is for). To me, sometimes app windows look funny if they are not of a particular aspect ratio but often they're not as practical too. Does the Finder window really need to be tall and skinny when I predominantly use it in "Column" view? Does Finder really need to take up my entire screen when it's mostly empty space anyway? Does Safari really need to be "full screen" when it is common practice for websites have a maximum width set on them? In this scenario you're just wasting part of your screen that could potentially be more practically used... such as bringing up a Finder window nearby that already has lined up that file you want to drag to upload to a website. See? It's just a different way of thinking and it takes time to adjust... :)

And for seeing all opens apps using the keyboard, if you press the F3 key (without pressing the fn key) it'll do the same thing

Double-clicking the top of an application can go full screen but then MacOS would have to learn from you to switch between your preferred sizes. So go full screen keep it that way for some time then shrink the screen and when next you double tap the top, it'll do what you want.

For the first complaint (repositoning windows) you can get a free alternative called rectangle. It's Totally Free.

Yes all the issues you mentioned are correct some of the MacOS UI dont make sense. I hope someone sends this video to Tim Cook so he can personally give it to the MacOS team to correct all these shortcomings mentioned. Immediately!

all apple software engineers should watch this video!! I always have thought the best thing to do in these new macbook is to run Win11 within Parallel. That way you have the best of both worlds. Best laptop, best integration with Apple ecosystem and business as usual using win apps!!

To send a window to the left or right of the screen just move the pointer to the green Circle and wait for a menu to show. It Will give you the Options to move the window to left or right. It works just like in Window OS

For cut ,first copy and for paste use cmd + option + v

you can make your chrome tabs full screen (both) and then in the trackpad, place three fingers and move them to the side to alternate between them. I have been a Mac user for a long time so I don't know if the latest windows can do this, but here you can have various desktops at the same time and alternate between them like that. Also if you want to open an app quickly just press Cmd + space and type the app I have found that it is the fastest way to open things

For cut: First CMD+C Then Opt+CMD+V = Cut and paste

I can see in comments people giving solutions but most of them are not intuitive. For example moving windows to side to snap is intuitive but hovering on the maximize button and waiting options to show up and then move left or right is not. I got a Mac mini few months ago and returned cos the keyboard shortcuts are hardly present. For example in windows to maximize I do alt space (to get the context menu) and hit X that’s clearly underlined in Maximize option. In mac I googled and found command and M minimizes the windows but no shortcut to maximize unless you went to settings and create a shortcut to do that. Isn’t it logical to give a default shortcut for maximize when you give one for minimize. I was going to give another shot to mac with MacBook Pro but watching your video I may not do it.

Hi for cut and paste files use this commands: Comand + c Then go to path or location you want to cut it Option +Command + v Thats hoy you cut and paste files on MacOS

Mac is good for basic computing but you’ll need Windows for anything serious, especially if you mainly use Office software.

6:50, Your supposed to hold down left click and drag the box over all the files you want

Im to a windows 98 to 11 user. When i got my Mac I was searching for clipboard manager which is not there in Mac. Opposite way of scrolling. Some time when you use same application but multiple windows and if the window gone back of the application you work then there is no way to bring it back like windows easily it took me whole day to bring the window front. The point is mac is good It's working good but I don't know there are many simple features missing in Mac like clipboard manager but why apple fans doesn't complain about it. For simple features we need to pay and get some 3rd party apps. Now i started to use Mac and windows side by side. Mac to complete task fast without any lags. Windows for its user experience and easy use. You are the only person who feels the same as me after using Mac when others say with eyes closed mac is best.

You have to use Command+W to Close a window, Command+Q Will Close the entire application. You cannot quit finder, as you cannot quit Explorer on windows. To close Finder windows just press Command+W

Cmd + C then Cmd + Opt + V works equivalent to cut and paste.

5:57 finder is part of the operating system. That’s why you can’t USA command + Q. Makes sense that you can’t close the timer this way?

I saw the title of this video and decided to give it a watch because as an original Mac user learning Windows took a hot minute. Now I'm great at both.

7:50 you can see all by pressing Ctrl+ down arrow for only that app and Ctrl+ up for all apps You can also Ctrl + left or right to switch desktops

I will say one thing as a Windows user who switched to MAC. On any laptop you use today Windows (love it or hate it) is mandatory for any and all things. However on a Mac Windows is optional. I found the best Mac is one that uses Windows for work related stuff (Via Parallels) and MacOs for everything else. This provides the perfect balance for all computing needs work related and entertainment. I don't think that I can ever go back to a Windows laptop ever again.

They are mocking you with all this intentional malfunctioning. That's not a good way to start a relationship. Thank you for this video! All these things are definitely a deal breaker for me.

I been using Mac for one year and trust me Windows is a better software. There is so much things you can do in Windows that Mac can’t do. I am switching back to Windows Dell just came out with a 14 inch powerful laptop. The new Intel 12 gen is more powerful then this macs. Other than that. The Mac is a really well build laptop.

From a Windows and Linux perspective, MacOS is very quirky. Being mostly a Linux user, I am used to having full control over my machine all the time. But MacOS treats me like a child, even more so than Windows.

2:39 it is possible hold option while hovering green button the click move to left option

I've been using Windows since I was about 3 or 4 years old and I'm 23 now. Started with Windows 98. I've used MacOS X Snow Leopard a little bit on an older iMac I got on the cheap and ran OS9 on SheepShaver but I hadn't used MacOS for anything but a single program until I got one of the M2 Macbooks. The interface was a little weird to get used to and it honestly felt almost completely foreign to me aside from the terminal due to my experience with GNU/Linux. After a few weeks I started loving the interface. I still use Windows and Linux on my main PC but now Windows feels even more clunky to me than it used to. Everything is super snappy and painless on MacOS compared to Windows. Even compiling programs that don't have fully supported ARM versions yet is easy. It really just feels like a more friendly, slightly different Linux to me now. One thing I do not like is the settings menu, though. So much digging but the search function helps out a lot. More GUI customization options would be nice, too. Love the menu bar, though. I'd love to have it on my Fedora install.The keyboard shortcuts are nice, too. Switching between typing languages is much less of a pain since I can just tap capslock.

Great video. It comes out of my pain. I am using MacBook air M1 for the last year but couldn't get used to it. I would like to go back to Windows again. But the issues are display and charge. Do you guys have any option like a mac in regards to a good display and a very long-lasting battery like 8-9 hours or so?

If you want an application to take the left side of your screen on MacOS, it is possible without some paid software. Lot at the top left corner of the application where you have the three coloured buttons (red, yellow, and green), point at it with your mouse without clicking and you'll see the options you need. The experience isn't exactly what you get on Windows with the shortcut (Win + left or right arrow key) but you don't have to pay for this thing.

4:13 surprisingly hold option for more settings.

7:30 you can use cmd and ~ to switch between windows of the same app

Regarding 4:02, you select the file and move it (not copy and paste) to where you want - if it another drive it will copy automatically.

Macs are more for people who don't know anything about computers they are ridiculously easy to use. When I switched to it I was able trace my steps in no time and everyone else from my home who borrowed my computer got to use it with relative ease without asking me for help on anything. It's just a matter of you being willing to open your mind to new operating systems. But anyways I approached Mac os the way I approached phones back then I could switch phones from different manufacturers and still know that there's some functionality that is similar across all of them but it's just a matter of finding where it's located. I used this same approach after using fl and going to studio one or any other daw.

Always press the alt key for more Options, it works on every menu (contextual and drop down on the system). You'll find a Lot more alternatives to every command.

In Finder you can configure to Open a file by pressing Command+Enter. Is the closer you can get to the windows behavior. In MacOS you can change every Keyboard shortcut for every app in System Settings.

If you are still struggling with the alt tab, I installed Alt-Tab. Its free and works great same goes for the snap to the side window, I use Rectangle

First of all, thank you for this video. I switched 2009 to MacOS and I never will go back. What I need to say Window management: It comes out of the history of the system. Yes I agree, the snap function in Windows is a feature I wish to have in MacOS. I installed a freeware for this. It works for me, could be nicer, but does what it should. Basically Mac works best on the trackpad with gestures. The double click was invented round 1994 and in MacOs it minimized the window and set it back to its size set before. This is why it does not work the same way. Yes it is confusing, I got used to it. Basically understanding the window management was the biggest pain in the ass, Apples philosophy is simply different. Cut and Copy: Yes pain in the a**! I simply started using the shortcuts. Mouse: Yes the wheel works different, since I got used to this, I hate it, when it is the other way round in WIN. Going thru a document: I use the trackpad, works great Showing Speed: Why you need that? Shift and select: Works for me, no matter what view. Don't know what is wrong here. The Doc: It is not a Task Bar! It has a different philosophy you need to get used to it. It is hard when you come from WIN. That's it from me

Why is iOS so refined but they make such wonky UI decisions in macOS?

I think its just a case of getting used to how things are different on one or another. Im doing things the opposite way around. Ive been a Mac User for years, but wanted to add a Windows 11 Machine to my arsenal for a bit of a change and Im finding lots of things I dont quite get, One thing on Windows 11 I think is weird that when i right click, to get to to the cut copy options I have to open a sub menu, Just do what Im doing and enjoy the change of environment and you'll soon find your way. Mac OS is perfectly usable when you're used to things, give it a chance you'll be surprised.

Windows is user friendly. 10mins for an average computer user to learn to work with. Simple no bs.no funky operations.

Hey! I just found how to operate multiple safari windows, if you point with a cursor on a Safari app in dock and double tap with 2 fingers on the trackad (no click, tap) it will show how many windows of a certain app you have open and you can choose which one you want to go to

Most of the complaints related to use of keyboard n mouse but all of them can be easily resolved with touchpad magic gestures!!

For the filling one side of the screen with an app issue, hover over the maximise button, you'll get a drop down menu which lets you move the app to the left or right side of the screen

CMD+Q quits the Application completely. You can't do this to finder, because finder is always on (for your Desktop for example). Use CMD+W instead to just close the window and not quit the app.

my friend made this video to clear his doubts , keep doing good stuff

I've used Windows since it first came out, Linux for almost 20 years and macOS since it switched to using a UNIX-based O/S. There are many great features that macOS has; however, you first have to unlearn many of the Windows habits that don't always make sense but we're simply used to using. Here are the answers to your questions: 1. Choosing windows to fit left and right of the screen: This is possible out of the box. Firstly, you need to understand that macOS uses the ‘Add a Desktop’ more heavily than Windows does and the action to split windows left and right will depend on whether you want the windows to stay on the current desktop or to take up a new desktop, i.e. their own full-screen together. All the options are built into the green window sizing button in the title bar. Hover or long-press on the green dot and select ‘Tile window to left (or right) of screen’ will send it to its own desktop and then ask which window should take up the second half. Instead of clicking, you can hold down the option key while hovering or long-pressing that will change the options to ‘Move window to the left (or right) of the screen’, which will keep the windows on the current desktop, which leaves the menu bar and dock visible. The green dot is your key to maximising windows. If you have already maximised a application window to its own desktop (let's call it window A), you can add an open window (let's call it window B) beside it by pushing up on the trackpad with 3 fingers (or 4 depending on your settings) to reveal all the desktops at the top of the screen and then drag window B up to the desktop where window A is to sit it alongside. 2. Double-clicking a title bar: Again, macOS provides more options for maximising windows than Windows and understanding these will explain what double-clicking the title bar does. Windows can restore, minimise and maximise but macOS can: a) restore to last-used size b) zoomed to as large as needed to fit current content, which means to try to expand and shrink vertically and horizontally enough to accommodate content and remove scrollbars c) maximise to full-screen on its own desktop d) tiled to full-screen to share a desktop with a second application e) moved to the left or right on the current desktop with menubar and dock visible. Double-clicking a titlebar simply toggles between zooming to accommodate the current content and restore to the last-used size. 3. Moving files between storage devices: macOS is a graphical user interface and has been designed for drag-and-drop rather than using an intermediary clipboard. The clipboard is used more for content, i.e. text and graphics, and it works across devices. For example, if you have text on your iPhone and select copy, you can then switch to your macOS device logged into the same iCloud account and select paste, if done within a quick timeframe. To copy or move files, open two windows and drag-and-drop. Drag-and-drop works on many more items than you would first expect when coming from a Windows background. You can drag and drop content from a web page to your desktop or a folder, you can open the Info box (i.e. file properties) and drag and drop its icon to the desktop or a folder, you can drag and drop a graphics file to the Info box of a file to change its icon, etc. It is a much more coherent experience across a range of activities than Windows. 4. Return key on a file in Finder: The Return key allows you to rename a file, same as F2 in Windows. What does F2 really mean? If you want to open a file or an application, open it with ⌘+O, where O stands for Open. 5. Mouse wheel goes backwards: The physical scrolling device is setup for the trackpad where the two-finger push up or two-finger pull down pushes the content up and pulls it down respectively. This is the opposite to a mouse, since the mouse isn’t designed to push or pull the content but rather the push or pull the scrollbar, which works in the opposite direction. When you pull a scrollbar down the window, the content scrolls up. You can change the direction of the current physical scrolling device in the System Settings, as you showed. Pushing or pulling content up or down the page is a different way of working than controlling scrollbars up or down and this was introduced when touchscreens first came out on the iPhone, iPad and glass trackpad on MacBooks. 6. Mouse wheel movement in any direction: With the trackpad, this isn’t necessary. The trackpad mimics touching the screen so you simply need to swipe your fingers in any direction to push the content around in any direction. 7. Closing windows and quitting applications: In Windows, when you close the last window, the application quits. This is not the case with macOS. When you close all of the windows in an application, you have not asked the application to quit so it doesn’t. Window closure is separate from application quitting and you have control over both. Closing a window is done via the ⌘ key with alphabetic letters, which are easier to remember than function key sequences. Just like cut, copy and paste are next to each other on the keyboard to look like scissors (⌘+X), copy (⌘+C) and, well, the next letter along (⌘+V), so too are closing a window (⌘+W) and quitting (⌘+Q). You can also hide all windows of an application with ⌘+H, which is not possible with Windows unless you minimise each window. If you have closed all windows of an application, the application will still be running and you can open a new window by selecting one from the Window menu. You generally wouldn't quit Finder, as it is your not only your file manager but also your desktop manager. If you quit it, it will restart so it can manage your desktop again. Finder is like Explorer.exe and you would only quit it in extreme circumstances using ⌘+⌥+Escape. Closing all the Finder windows, like any other application, will not quit Finder. 8. Can’t see transfer speed of files: True, macOS does not show you the speed. macOS is designed to remove clutter but it does show you what you need, which is the time remaining so you know how long you have to wait. What would understanding the speed do for you? 9. Grid view selection of files: Again, macOS is graphical so just drag a selection box over the contiguous files you want to select. Using shift-click in Windows also captures files contiguously so it effectively works the same. 10. Switching between windows of the same app: Like other command-key sequences, ⌘+Tab to switch between applications has a companion key sequence in close proximity to switch between windows of the same application, which is the Command key plus the key above Tab containing the backquote (⌘+`). This cycles through the windows of the application currently in focus and you can tell which has the focus because its name is always in the menubar. You can also toggle hiding and showing the dock with ⌘+⌥+D, for Dock.

Get used to the track pad, learn its gestures, and you will love it. Much faster than shortcuts on the keyboard and using a mouse

7) you can’t close finder from cmd+q because finder is something like „floor” for system, and if you complete turn off it your computer should be shut down :// you can do the same like cmd + q for finder from cmd + w, or if finder have lag you can close it forcly and press cmd + option + esc and shud down any program you want

you remind me of an American who can't find a Big Mac in Phnom Penh, and makes a travel video about it.

Cut and paste it's posible. You always start by coping the file. But on the paste if you press the alt key, the context menu Will change and show the Move Item instead of the paste option.

The reason why you can’t close Finder by using Command + Q is because Finder is not just the file manager it’s basically your desktop and dock and menu bar

After 2018 Apple kinda of made macs that you can’t tweak, upgrade or modify! So spec it well or you’re in for a frustrating time! Software wise it just works

Omg thank you! I was thinking of getting a MacBook but was worried about the operation system. This video convinced me to stick to windows, specifically because I use android as my phone.

Once you get use to the OS it's much smoother than windows. Learning key commands is the way to win.

Your last question is a killing one for me. Did any pro Mac user have an answer for that?

2:54 hopefully you know more about Mac now.. you can definitely make that happen.

Rectangle is exactly like magnet but free
