0:33 fun fact: it took Apple so long to implement window tiling because Microsoft patented the concept of a "Method for providing window snap control for a split screen computer program GUI", and that patent only expired this year. Apps like Rectangle were able to provide it because functionality from external software to an operating system wasn't bound to the patent (also why Linux desktops could get away with it, since their desktop managers work as non-OS specific external software).

Thanks so much, Quinn. I've been watching for years and have always appreciated your hard work and dedication in providing quality information for Mac noobs like myself. You've done so well for yourself in building your channel/business and deserve every bit of success. You never fail to inform and entertain and I look forward to whatever is upcoming. Thanks once again for your service to those of us who have learned so much. Many blessings. Troy

Control + Enter for right click menu is low key the biggest update.
Thank you so much for this video! Learned a ton as a power user myself 🎉

This is a fantastic presenter.
You really get to the important stuff and your subtle humor is great also

[RedAugust]

Why doesn't the world give us someone this talented and genuinely interesting who likes Windows the way he likes MacOS? Cause damn this is such a great video. The quality and everything.

[vansubagja]

The way you presented all of these tips doesn't feel like I'm watching a video, instead it felt like I'm literally sitting in front of you and you try to teach me directly, which is something that not everyone could do. Great job man!

[botch]

A video I'll watch a couple more times, and put it on my calendar to watch again in a couple months. Thanks Quinn!

Holy shit man has lost some serious weight! Keep going man great job 👏🏻

Btw at 6:01 the new feature in Sequoia in the 'Double click a window's title bar to' menu is actually the 'Fill' option, not 'Minimise' :)

I read a lot of Sequoia news articles during the last few months but you still managed to give me some tricks I wasn't aware of! Thanks :) great video

I’ve been using background sounds on low volume with my AirPods Pro for like 3 years whenever I need to focus and work in a public setting. Love it!!

[giangiacomofanizzi]

Really great!!! I just discovered you and you have become my legend.

I've watched hundreds of videos that purport to tell tips and tricks related to Mac OS news, but this is the first time I've found a video with only useful content, no small talk or spin. You got straight to the point and most importantly you did it in an entertaining way.

I have subscribed to the channel, will follow you and recommend you to my friends who have Macs.

Thank you very much.

I consider myself a knowledgeable user but I always still learn genuinely useful things from your MacOS videos. They're really my favorite type of content you do, as my MacBook is the only Apple product I use daily. Thanks for your incredible work putting all of this into such a clean format.

[NickLorang]

Great video! Double-clicking the title bar to minimize has been an option in macOS for a while — I’ve been using it for years! Great solution for minimizing windows quickly.

[mattcaff]

These kinds of videos are almost always useless - but this one was so freaking helpful. I’ll be using several of these tips every day.

[fciscop]

Definitely a video I'll watch a few more times, and put this link handy to watch again. Great work man!

[mario]

Still find your vids the most useful, you always have tips and tricks I actually end up using. Thanks!

Seeing all the cool iPhone Mirroring features in this video and not having it in the EU is just the biggest pain in the butt
