You're content really is top notch. As a Mac power user I usually know most of these hacks. But the Shift feature for hot corners is a real game changer.

[aveerajsharma]

This is what is called worth the time!👌🏻 No shitty talks and direct point to point with a few little jokes in the middle😉

[georgetasiopoulos]

It's all about mastering shortcuts for me. Love the spotlight operators compared to touchpad, slide, click, scroll, select... thanks Jeff

Man, having used a windows for years at the workplace and my MacBook accumulating dust at home. Quit the job and working from home now. Your videos helped me get close to my productivity level that I have with windows. Quick, on the point, clear instructions. Keep up the good work. Cheers

I am impressed by the production quality of your videos. Thank you for making the content relevant and to the point.

Amazing video! I consider myself a quite advanced power user but you never fail to show me me even more useful tricks that I wasn’t aware of before! Thanks a lot, Jeff!

[iamkodenusi]

3:18 That "Add Airdrop to Finder" trick is huge! Sulking in Windows...😅😅

[jjjack-li]

WOW!!! the hot corner with shift is soooo great! Thanks

The spacebar is the typical keyboard key used to activate web & system OS checkboxes / radio buttons in settings.
Using enter will sometimes return an entry of some text you typed in a text box (thats probably not even visible on your screen or in the background) causing issues.
Highly recommend using SPC vs ENT.

These tips are game changers! Thank you Jeff.

Jeff, I´m all the way in Africa and I literally feel like you´re the guy next door buddy, thanks a lot for your insightful yet enthusiastic delivery in your videos and for these productivity tips, much appreciated!!

Another awesome video, Jeff. Super helpful! Question, how do you prioritise Spotlight vs Alfred? I personally replaced the spotlight shortcut to activate with Alfred, but watching this video feels like i'm missing out on a lot of the native spotlight features now

[mohansasankamuthyala]

Awesome man..! Thanks a alot. Especially the Safari and Apple Notes Tips are incredible

[edwinabilay]

Absolutely loved this video! Thank you!

As always a prouctivity rollercoaster with Jeff keeping me up to date and productive even in my 40s.

[britt_joiner]

Hey Jeff! As always, great video. Had no idea about the >> on apple notes!

Watching the spotlight stuff made me think- have you ever tried Raycast? It’s like spotlight on steroids. I think I saw in another video you use Alfred but wasn’t sure if you’d ever tried Raycast.

[hcf]

Ooooh oooh 🙋‍♂️ - Jeff, Alfred, Spotlight, or Raycast? Comparison video?

Hey Jeff, I like your content very much. What software do you use to create them?
