Every time you do one of these videos I think I know all the tips but then you had to get me with the single window screenshot shortcut. 👏

I’ve been using the dock trick on my Mac since this video was posted. Recently my Mac got wiped and I was like “how will I ever find the video where he showed how to do that😩” and out of your Mac tips videos this was the FIRST ONE I clicked on!!! Feeling lucky today

Screenshot modifier keys:
Option = disables the drop shadow
Ctrl = copy to clipboard
⇧⌘6 (Shift, Command, 6) = Screenshot of the touchbar

Thx for the Dashboard disable tip!

THANK YOU FOR TIP Just last week I had to stop using hide dock feature because of the time it took to bring it back up. You are a God send and I love your work! Keep it up good sir!

Finally a “5 hidden features” video that’s actually helpful!

Sick of seeing click bait videos showing tips that have been around since the dinosaur ages. Thank you very much!

You can also disable the Dasboard via System Preferences ➡️ Mission Control ➡️ Dashboard set to Off
This prevents you from having to find the terminal command again if you want to re-enable it

Wow I never knew about the taking screenshots of a single window trick. I knew about Shift+Cmd+4 which although I rarely used I always thought of it as the pinnacle of useful features on Mac, but it turns out it gets even better. Great video.

And if you would like to explore more: ls -1 ~/Library/Preferences/ and you can type defaults read <<any 1 filename from the prior ls' output>> to see all the options for each preferences file

I already know a lot of the tips you post as I spent years as IT in TV stations before I retired but there is always at least one or two things in each video that I have to say "Wow, I wish I had known that one when I was still working". Thanks for the great videos and keep up the good work. 👍🏼👍🏼
