You're the only "tips I bet you didn't know" youtuber that actually delivers on that. I always learn great tips from you, even though I'm an "expert." Thanks!

I re-bound Cmd + tilde to Option + tab. Makes more intuitive sense to me.

Another handy one I’ve enjoyed. Cmd Opt H hides everything but what you’re currently looking at. Handy when there’s a lot going on and you want to just have that one window visible.

Also text replacement options are very useful

As a MAC user, I LOVE all your videos where you teach us little tips and tricks that actually make our everyday life easier. CMD +click to move the window and leave it in the background is FANTSTIC! Thanks you so much.

Quick Lock - better approach is a keyboard accessibility shortcut set to Apple + L (which broadly mirrors Windows + L) so a quick two finger roll becomes second nature on any device

I’ve always ignored the Automator app, but now I find out it’s exactly what I’ve always been looking for 😂 thanks!

Wow. Great job. I worked for Apple for 10+ years and I still found about 3-4 tips here that I've never heard before. Good job.

Worth the wait given your slight mini break uploading. As a Mac user I knew some of these but as always there were a few tips that I will now start using on a daily basis.

Regarding copy/paste... coming from Windows, I'm used to Cut (copy, then delete source), but in macOS, I find myself using drag and drop. So, menu bar, new Finder window (not a fan of tabs in Finder), browse to destination folder, CMD+A or select, drag them over, then before releasing, I hold CMD and that changes the operation from Copy to Move. I'm not sure where I picked this up or from whom, but it's now ingrained in my day to day usage.

I liked Windows up until a point, and I'm still pretty good with it, but just about every video I see shows me there's so much more to learn with macOS. I like that it's seen as like a "beginner's OS" and that's kind of true, it does have less of a learning curve (especially if you have other Apple devices and you know how they do things), but there's also more to learn and more to master.

I've been a MacBook user for 5+ years now and I've learned more in this video than in my 5+ years combined.

Thank you so much for this video, brother. The tips for Spotlight search and moving files are going to be so useful!
