So basically you should just try pressing modifier keys (Option ⌥ or Command ⌘ or Shift ⇧) everywhere and see what happens! Good tips Quinn.

I swear the only guy on the internet who when says, "Best or hidden Mac tricks" actually delivers unlike 90% videos who teach you about cmd+shift+3

Normal youtuber logic: new iPhone *does an unboxing/review* Quinn's logic: New iPhone?! *Here are the best mac tips!*

I don't even own a Mac but still enjoy these videos

You can also quit application in the app switcher (command+tab) by highlighting the app you want closed and pressing “Q” on the keyboard.

An addendum to tip #1 is that when CMD+Tab'ed over to an app, you can (while holding down CMD) hit Q to Quit the app that is highlighted. Great video as always Quinn!

Is it worth updating from macOS High Sierra to macOS Mojave . I have the MacBook Pro 2015 15inch

You got me all excited with your new upload and then pulled it from right under my feet! Glad to see it was quickly back up again 😁

I was skeptical because of the title of this video, but you actually delivered. Great tips!

Continuity clipboard doesn’t require wifi to enabled on your Mac, though, only on the iOS device(s). My MBP is docked to an Apple Thunderbolt Display, which is hooked up to my AirPort Extreme with an ethernet cable, and I have WiFi completely disabled when docked. Continuity clipboard still works fine. And yes, I’ve also seen a tremendous improvement in reliability with Mojave, which is bloody fantastic as this is a fantastic feature!

Wow! I always go into this series of your videos thinking there will be at least one tip I totally already knew, and there never is. You're amazing, Quinn. Keep these up!

Hello! Congrats for your channel!! Do you have any trick to change the sound when you copy a file to a folder? Such sound is not included in "alert sounds" undersystem preferences. Thanks a lot!!

You've probably mentioned this in another vid or too many people already know about it, but one app switcher trick that people miss is: while still holding cmd, hit the back tick (`) button to go backwards in the list

Hi Could you make a video how to get back the coverflow inthr finder on macos mojave please? Thx

So, not sure if you've mentioned it in the past, but if you hit Command + back tick it'll switch you between open windows of the current application. Felt like that was missing from the first set of tips.

Do you recommend macos majovie to an old macbook pro 2015 ???

This kinda has nothing to do with your tips and tricks but I noticed an issue I'm having with Mac OS Mojave and was wondering if it's happening to you as well. When I am in "dark mode" and using apps like Photoshop when I want to open another document into Photoshop the open window is the normal white and not dark like it should be.

Thanks for the tip about the keyboard controls. This will be helpful when I have to charge the magic mouse. I can still use the Mac without a mouse. One thing I wanted to find out is, is there a way to access menus with the keyboard? Windows and Linux both have full keyboard control options, and it was something I was starting to hate about the mac, until I saw this tip. I may have used many of what you shared in this video, but it's been a long time, and I probably just forgot they existed. Anyway, thanks again!

Once again, you've just make my life better! HUGEEE thanks Quinn

What is the window off to the right that says 'mentions' and has all of his notifications in it?

Hey Quinn, maybe I can help also with a small detail for Tipp Nr1. If You press cmd + tab, and hold cmd You also can move between the programs with the arrowkeys. This is really handy, when switching between many programs. Much support, love Your Vids!

I can't believe I didn't know that last tip that's amazing

Quinith, Which model MacBook wins in 2019?

I'm keeping an eye out for a new MacBook pro on the refurbs. What would you recommend for a dev?

Great video - two of these tips are really great for me. Thanks for the work you do to find these tips and present them to us.

This was a really amazing video Quinn! I bought a Macbook Pro two months ago and i still didn't know about these really helpful tricks! This video gets a thumbs up from me!👍

I love these tips video. Learn something new every time. Thank you!

another great set of useful tips !

Ah, that Stacks one was pretty nice, I just tried it on my desktop and it's SOOO much cleaner ;) . Awesome tip :)

Cool tips as usual! Hey man do you know by any chance an app that we can put info on the bar? Like Id like to show currency rates info on the menubar besides the clock. Thanks in advance!!!

I like handoff actually and all the continuity features. I frequently answer phone calls on my Mac. Problem is that sometimes I am in the middle of writing and calls always get focused by OS. Is there a way to let phone ring on Mac but in the background so it doesn't interfere with what I'm doing? Especially while typing? google foo failed me.

Super helpful. Thank you for sharing!

HOLY CRAP thank you for the command tab + option shortcut, it's one of the main things I missed about windows it was so convenient that it would open up the window when you tabbed to it even when it was minimised, this video is a much better tricks guide than most others, this actually had many things that I wasn't aware of so thank you. The only thing about some of these MacOS shortcuts though is I find that I have to do some finger gymnastics to do the shortcuts, but maybe that's because I'm not used to it.

your videos are actually the best!

Awesome tips! Thank you

I was genuinely impressed with the app switcher shortcuts. I'm using Macs for 6 years now but didn't know that you could actually switch to specific windows and recall minimized windows. I was so missing this 😍

That final tip changes EVERYTHING for me as a student who depends on Preview for my studies. Thank you!

random question: does your iPhone xs have a little weird screen colour shift like from white to yellow when you’re looking from the sides?

Love this kind of videos and nice work with how the channel is going.

Great vid, man! I've been on Mac since 2003 and only knew like half of these shortcuts haha Cheers!

*This guy is an Apple **_Genius_*

Hey Quinn, there was some great tips I didn't know about thanks for the video! One question: I tried the Option Key "copy table text" (11:15 in the video) my cursor isn't changing to a plus sign any idea why? (I checked the web and I was unable to find anything to help me with this issue.)

Excellent. I have learned soooo much today! I have had my MacBook for years and did not know that I could these things!!!! Keep the videos coming 😊

So Snazzy Labs! How do you bring that search bar up at the top like you did at 9:07? You didn't mention anything about but I would really like to know how you did it.. Thanks

Love these videos.

I use ⌘ and ` it lets you switch between web browser windows. (if one chrome window was on top of the other window I could use ⌘ and ` and it brings the back window to the front)

Quinn, you are an absolute legend ! Once again, I'm impressed with the quality of your videos, great job. The control + option shortcut to open a minimized app is awesome, I use command + tab a ton, so this is perfect. Thanks for the tips man !

Hey Snazzy, always take the time to watch some of your videos, you are a nice guy I think, and for some weird reason I'm compelled to tel you how I use my mac, maybe cuz you showed me your tricks. - Here is how I use it for the last few years. Wen I log into it theres only the empty desktop, the menu bar and my dock are hidden to the top and bottom corner side respectively and theres no icons at all, yes no icons at all, no finder and no trash, hidden from the dock as well, then I have the dock set up for single app mode, and its, like I said to the bottom left. Only icons of running apps will show and they stack up one on top of the other or vanish If I quit the app, I love to see them at the bottom left corner of my mac, not sure how to do that on mojave... I rolled back twice from mojave I dont like it. I'll stay HS until Mojave is way way more mature or if I needed to change. anyways ... Then I interact with my macOS entirely thru shortcuts, commands, the app switcher, spotlight and Alfred. To me this is everything I need and its supper snappy and cool, other people are clueless how to use it lol - but seriously its so nice. Because of these use I have so much real state on my screen and because of single app mode is on, I can still chose to have multiple apps on screen because I call them from app switcher and at the same time If I want only one app to show, I click on the app icon from the dock. I do not need anything else. occasionally if I want more desktops is also because I'm using a full screen app so they just create themselves anyways for that app and I can go back and forth with control + arrows. Also If I want to do something with in an app and I can't remember the shortcut I use shift + cmd + ? that brings the menu bar into view with the help section selection I can type what I want and select the menu action. that also looks really cool with that floating arrow. ppl think that is some black magic and I'm a wizard or something. lol I love it. cheers man

Thanks for the tips, Very Use full

What are your thoughts on the new Mac mini? Any reviews coming soon???

Good Stuff. Thanks

Great tips - thanks !

I love ur vids Quinn. Keep up the good work :)

Thx for this great video first of all. Then, I have a question. Is there any way to use System Preferences or any kind of window (e.g. Finder) above a full-screened application? (for example the one you did in 9:10 with System Preferences above Safari, but Safari will be in full screen mode)

2:55 Once you done pressing cmd+tab, you can use navbar to navigate to left as well.

Helpful, Thanks

great tips thanks!!!!

Nice, I was always wondering why cmd+tab didn't display minimized apps. Thanks!

Is there a way to prevent apps (like Excel) exit full screen when pressing escape button? It is frustrating when you want to cancel smthng and the app exits full screen instead.

Actual tips, amazeballs!

Learnt a lot here.. nice 1 👍💯

Snazzy, you are just the best. I consider myself as a pro user, but did not know some of the tricks you've shown!

Nice work!

Great tips, tnx.

Hey I was wondering if you know any terminal commands to reenable highlight tracking when using text to speech software that's naturally built into macOS. The old versions used to have it and although the new version still read text they don't track it with a highlighted difference anymore. It's extremely useful for me and I've been looking all over the web but I am unsure how to re-enable this feature. Any help would be greatly appreciated, tricks or tips. This would be on Mac I know my iPhone still does it properly.

Good one! Thanks!

While holding down the Command key while using the Command-Tab action to bring up your open applications, hit Q to quit that application. In that same way, if you tab to a browser, you can also hit T to open a new tab, which will maximize any hidden browser windows, or N to create a new window.

actual cool stuff , thanks bro

Yes, continuity clipboard is very very stable in Mojave!!! I always make selective screenshots on my mac and paste them directly into GoodNotes on iPad without any intermediate steps!

In Mojave, every time I start my iMac, brightness is 100% even though I set it for lower. Auto brightness is off, night shift is on. Any ideas why brightness is 100% at startup?

The first tip is awesome. I've been using MacOS since 2004 and I didn't know that Cmd+Tab+1 trick. Very handy, thanks a lot!

You can also press ⌘ + q while the app switcher is active to close the selected app. Press ⌘ + ⇧ + tab to switch backward through your apps.

Btw thanks for the great recommendation, I didn't know Skillshare! *subscribed*

Hooray! We love these Mac tip videos

Nailed it dude, I don’t know how you find this stuff but I learned something in each tip.

Fantastic video and very helpful tipsThank you so much

Awesome video!

7:15 Another thing you can do with handoff is copy and paste images. First you need to go to an image on your photos application then click on the share button and there will be an option for you to copy the image. After coping it you're ready to go and paste it using your Mac. You can also do that the other way around too, pretty neat isn't it ?

Thank god for one useful channel! Awesome job bro!

Great video!

Great, thanks for the video. However, I don't get that if I minimize some app and then cmd + tab to it, it's not gonna appear and I need to press different key to do it. Seems not logical to me considering that minimized windows look the same in cmd + tab switcher. I think this makes it little bit confusing, because you have to remember/check what apps are minimized directly in dock and use different key combination in cmd + tab switcher to show them. Feels like UX flaw rather than feature. Or does it have any logical explanation? Thank you.

For reloading a page without content blockers (or WITH flash), you can right click, or force touch on the reload button in the address bar. Works for iOS and MacOS.

I’ve been a macOS user for a long time, and these tips are so good!

11:09 You do not know how many times I've needed this tip. I honestly thought there was no solution to it and you just had to copy each line of text one-by-one. Thank you so much!

2:12 - I know you prefer Hide to Minimise (as do I) and have also covered the Terminal commands for shortening/removing the genie effect animation delay. Just fyi, this tip to hold Option while releasing Command only works for one window (the most recently minimised window). What I like to do for those times when I DO want to minimise a window (usually to prevent accidentally messing up my flow by un-hiding the application) is use App Exposé**. When I pull four fingers toward me, all the open in-use windows of the current app arrange themselves for presentation, and the minimised windows present as large icons below. When I click one of those minimised windows, that window is immediately ready, with negligible delay. That way I can "hide" particular windows of an app (by minimising them) and then access them again quickly and visually without dealing with animations or the Dock. **I have my left hand constantly poised for keyboard shortcuts (left thumb lives on ⌘, left pinky on Shift) and my right hand uses trackpad gestures as often as possible.

👏👏👏👏 great tips! Thank you!

Using the Option key for copying is awesome. Don't know if you use Windows much but they have a similar option. Hold the Alt key when highlighting. Awesome for columns in Word.

Love you! :-) Thanks for the tips.

LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

you missed my favourite app switcher trick! cmd + shift + tab, speeds up getting to the thing on the left hand side of switcher.

You always has the best OS tips, period!

I found the answer to my question I asked earlier. Depending on keyboard settings either pressing control+F2, or Control+FN+F2 selects the menu bar, and using the arrow keys navigates through the menus. When hitting this key combo, the Apple Menu is always the first selected. Hitting ESC, exits the menu control.

Also while you in command + tab you can switch between apps using arrow keys, and you can close selected one by pressing Q

Suggestion: Explain how to change the filetype (like you did with screenshots) for airdrop. If this is possible. Thank you very much.

when are you going to review the new macbooks? I am really interested in the macbook air 2018. you haven't done one in a while haha

What utility are you using to show your keystrokes? It looks like Keycastr but I'm not 100% sure Also, that option select thing for contiguous selection - IT'S BEEN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME THIS WHOLE TIME yet I didn't have the key

Cmd + tab cycles through your open apps from left to right, but shift + cmd + tab does the same from right to left. Handy when you cmd + tab one time to many and want to go back 1 or 2 steps.

You can also use several other commands in the app switcher, eg closing apps with (holding cmd), Q. Just try pressing some keys and see what happens

Holy smokes that was a good video! ;) No seriously, thank you for the great tips -- love these!

That last tip, I discovered on my own once because I knew that MacOS regularly tries to tuck away useful functionality when you hold Option in addition to almost any press and hold action on Mac, whether it's click and drag or holding Command for a keyboard shortcut.
