10 macOS tips and tricks

1. Teach you to play the  Apple logo

Shortcut key: option+shift+K

2. How to set the net red screen saver

Search for fliqlo on the site, double-click to open after downloading, remember to set the "idle time before booting", if it is set to two minutes, then your computer will automatically display the screen saver after two minutes if there is no operation on your computer.

3. Quickly clear the trash from the wastebasket

Use the following shortcut keys to empty the trash directly without opening the trash or asking you to confirm deletion.

Shortcut key: "⌘+Option+Shift+Delete"

4. Adjust the volume and brightness more precisely

The volume or brightness adjustment on the Mac is only 16 bars, and the accuracy is not high enough. Sometimes adjusting one unit still cannot meet our needs. At this time, we need higher-precision adjustments.

Shortcut key: Option + Shift + volume key (brightness key)

5. More accurate copy content

If you use Mac's built-in preview to copy the content in the PDF, it will select all the content between the beginning and the end of your mouse, but for tables, sometimes we don't need to copy all the content, then we can press " option” key and select the desired content.

6. Move or delete menu bar icons

If there are many icons in your status menu bar, what should you do if you want to delete them? At this time, you can hold down the "command" key, then drag the corresponding icon, and move it out of the menu bar to delete it.

7. Magnify your screen

Settings: Click the Apple logo "" in the upper left corner -> "System Preferences" -> "Accessibility" -> select "Zoom" -> check "Use scroll gestures with modifier keys to zoom"

Use: Press and hold the "control" key, and move two fingers up or down on the touchpad to zoom in or out

 

8. Screen capture skills you may not know

Full screen screenshot: shift+command+3

Partial screenshot: shift+command+4

The following is the key: there are two ways to take screenshots with spaces

1.shift+command+4+"space" to select a fixed window

2. After shift+command+4, select the frame and hold down the "Space" key to drag the frame to customize the selection window

9. Turn on the split-screen display function

Sometimes this function is very helpful when two windows need to be opened at the same time for collaborative work.

You only need to press the maximize button of the software window with three fingers until the split screen appears.

 

10. The screen is too small? Then open more windows

When one screen is not enough, we can create a few more blank screens. At this time, we only need to slide up the touchpad with four fingers and click the "+ sign" on the far right. To delete, just move the mouse to each screen, a "cross" appears and click delete.
