You can also take a screenshot to clipboard using CMD+CTRL+SHIFT+4 and then CMD+v to paste it somewhere like in notes. Very handy for not cluttering up screenshots folder.
Brilliant, thx so much. I've been using a Mac for 30 years, and watched so many of these tips vids. In this one I learned four things I'd never ever seen before or knew about. I've just subscribed!! I keep a Stickie note with all my fave tips in it and only delete one from the list when I'm confident that I've learned it by memory.
Coming from Windows, I rly hated not having the "delete" button. But I wasn't annoyed enough to look for it online. I'm so happy that I now know how do it. Thank youuuuuuuuuuu
Screenshots - When using CMD-SHIFT-4 and then toggling fullscreen/window... when selecting a region, you can hold the SPACEBAR to move the origin/box around in case you didn't start at quite the right spot...
I totally love learning how to do Mac magic! Combined with AppleScript, cliclick (allows command line control of the mouse and typing and can be activated from a script using "do shell script...), and FastScripts for setting keyboard shortcuts to scripts, I can shortcut anything and make my Mac perform manually time consuming, complex functions with a keyboard combination. I love watching my Mac perform complex processes without any mousing or keyboarding from me! These kinds of videos are awesome!
Funny thing. Most of the things you tell I already know as a long time hardcore Mac user (who still has also a PC in house, but 3 Mac's 2 Iphones and 2 Ipads). However, I still come back, because sometimes you come with little details (like the shadow) I did not know about and are super handy to know. But the most important is, that your way of presenting, with a low voice, taking the time, but not that I wanne go to sleep is so good, that I needed al those words to compliment you on that.
I think I will have to watch this two more times to catch all the juicy bits. Thanks again! I need to see if you have a video about the Shortcuts app. It's harder than I realized as a non-coder.
I don’t know if you’ve done a program on it yet, but one of the most useful Mac apps I couldn’t live without is keyboard maestro. It has amazing functions, including being able to do keyboard shortcuts, and do all kinds of things. It would be great to see a few programs on that app.
wow I'm new to Mac and blown away by these tips.... I didn't even know that Mac had such inbuilt valuable functions like the screenshot.... the forward delete is a real great help wow. MAC is crazy.... thanks to you too.... your vids are always useful I'm back again again now that I have watched the whole vid.... boy o boy .....really, this vid should be viral.... thanks again
Thanks! There are some real gems here. Regarding the hot corners, I have my lower right hand corner designated as Desktop. Works great EXCEPT, if I happen to have my iPad nearby and active, in which case moving my Mac cursor to the lower right hand corner simply makes it appear on the iPad.😤 (see that - I just used one of your tips!).
Terrific video. These can all be used by a novice or advanced Mac user. You probably have heard this before but in your videos your lighting is not very visible. You continue to appear in the dark. Even when I turn up my brightness to the highest level that does not help. Thanks for the FN key=Emojis. I had no idea that was possible. I never liked using Control>Command>Space Keep up the great work!
Any time I see a "10 Mac Tips/Tricks" type video, I always watch them as I always learn one or two new things. Here, I learned EIGHT new things, and am bookmarking this video to watch a couple more times so they all sink it. Thank you!
The application CheatSheet can be useful for those who want to learn the keyboard shortcuts included in their softwares. Some shortcuts mentioned in the video date from before Mac OS X, and one only appeared in Monterey, so it is still improving.
Great video indeed! Just wondering about pasting without formatting - CMD+SHIFT+V works on my M1... Not sure if I changed it myself somewhere or what :D
Great tips as always. The last one was pretty useful. If I may ask, could u pls look for an app that consolidates all keyboard shortcuts and provides a list with overlapping key bindings? In that way, we can assign, edit and check for repeated key binding actions. Thanks mate.
Wow so that’s what those three keys in the bottom corners do! But seriously so many hidden functions that Apple doesn’t tell you about. Now if only one could remember them in the moment they’re needed.
So many useful tricks and tips! Can I ask if there is a way to have 2 or more bits of text on the clip board at once so I can paste into documents separately so I don't have to repeatedly copy and paste individual texts when I need them. Great channel
Not that it matters but, Newer Macs do have a DELETE button, which perform like Win's BACKSPACE (del what's left of cursor). To del text right of the cursor: FN + DELETE
Your tips are really useful and I hope you have a solution for my problem. I want to configure Esc key on my MacBook Pro to close Outlook mail window. Is they a way to configure that? I was trying the Keyboard shortcut options for Applications but was not able to setup Esc key stroke.
I’m currently considering options for how to distribute more long-form content like that (other than a ‘quick tips’ video, a guide to Pages would be more of a video course than a video) - but the short answer is ‘yes’, definitely considering it. 🙂
I';ll throw one in. When booting up, if, on hearing the chime, your hold down Commans+V, you wioll see the verbose output for the boot sequence. Most the tome, this is unnecessary, but if you are encountering any boot issues, it can be a life saver. If you re running a modern Mac OS on an unsupported system, using some kind of patcher, it is particularly invaluable.
Great video! Q. How do you manage to "backup" those keyboard shortcuts you've created? If you want to move to a new Mac or if you use two (I have a Mac Studio and a MacBook Pro), for example, how do you copy those shortcuts or sync them?
I knew about the "Paste and Match style" option and I think it is a weird choice by Apple that this is not in fact the default.. I hardly have any cases where I actually want to paste the formatted text, but that is maybe just me ...
I am in Big Sur, the 'remove pic shadow' doesn't change using your idea. But this shadow is on ALL windows, and a screenshot is just treated like another window. This becomes a problem when trying to paste two pics together. I would like this shadow to go on ALL type windows. Any suggestion appreciated.
Watching this this AM on my TV and Stereo this AM, twice I got a very old BUZZ through my speakers. I was able to repeat it but it never happened on any other Video. It also didn’t happen, when watching this on my iPad!
Is there a way to sort and just show files created a specific date? not ascending or descending, but to just show files created on a specific date selected, or from a folder containing multitudes of file formats, we want to sort and display only specific ones rather than sort by file type. Windows has that. Is there any way to do that in Mac?
?: My wireless printer won't print from my mac. When I add it it works, come back a few weeks latter and it never finds the printer. The printer is conf in setting though. If I reset printer settings it hit or miss for it to find the printer. Why do I have issues printing?
Microsoft Word using three dots at the end of a menu command is a symptom of their software's poor quality. The Apple Human Interface Guidelines clearly says “Append an ellipsis to a menu item’s label when people need to provide additional information before the action can complete.” An Ellipsis … looks almost like 3 dots ... but an Ellipsis is a single character. On macOS, an ellipsis can be inserted with Option-Semicolon (;) on an English language keyboard.
You can also take a screenshot to clipboard using CMD+CTRL+SHIFT+4 and then CMD+v to paste it somewhere like in notes. Very handy for not cluttering up screenshots folder.
Wow. The shortcuts one is gonna be a game changer! Thanks a lot for this! 👍

A further screen shot option: Command+Shift+4 then press space bar. It will display a camera icon and you can select a window to capture.
I use this almost every time to get a pixel perfect selection.
Very inspiring production quality! 👌
These are always so helpful and always a few I am learning from you. Thank you!!!

Command + Shift + 4 and then Space then Click/Enter will capture whatever window your cursor is hovering over.
Fantastic! I am new to Mac and there were several commands I didn’t even know. Thanks.
Wow, these are absolutely useful tips. Been a Mac user for years now, but have to admit that many of these are news! Brilliant video as always 😊
Thank you!

Great, more than half are new to me / very useful, many thanks!

Muchas Gracias!
These videos are so useful. I didn't know half this stuff. The only problem now is remembering it all!
the shortcuts were really helpful, thanks :)
incredibly useful! Subscribed

ruclips.net/video/V4LBqcB4oQw/видео.html - It's a really basic intro video, but that's my current Shortcut video!
Well done, and quite useful...Your presentations are always well done.
Paste without formatting was worth the entire video. Thanks!
I’ve used this feature at least five times since watching your video. Thanks again!
You’re the best Apple tips guy on RUclips. Most of the others are too loud, too long, and too many. Thanks for doing it just right! 😊
Loving your videos! Keep it up 😁
I learn so much from you by watching these videos. Well done, Sir!

I'm back again again now that I have watched the whole vid.... boy o boy .....really, this vid should be viral.... thanks again
Great screen capture overview. Thanks.
CMD + SHIFT + 4 then SPACE let’s you select a window to screenshot without dealing with the menu.
Now that is a new screenshoot command to me. Excellent!
Awesome. Love these no-nonse videos which don't waste our time. Keep it up!!!
Thanks! There are some real gems here. Regarding the hot corners, I have my lower right hand corner designated as Desktop. Works great EXCEPT, if I happen to have my iPad nearby and active, in which case moving my Mac cursor to the lower right hand corner simply makes it appear on the iPad.😤 (see that - I just used one of your tips!).
In the utlity folder you can find the default screenshot app! So no shortcuts, just use your mouse.
Terrific video. These can all be used by a novice or advanced Mac user. You probably have heard this before but in your videos your lighting is not very visible. You continue to appear in the dark. Even when I turn up my brightness to the highest level that does not help.

WHOA! i had no idea i could do that! thanks a million
Command + Shift + 4 Toggle with Space Bar will either give you a cross hairs to select area of screen, or capture the window
Great tips again. The last one is worth the price of admission.
Excellent!
I don’t know of a time I have ever wanted to paste the original formatting!
On the American keyboard we have "delete" instead of backspace. It actually says delete on the key instead of the backspace icon.
You can also "forward delete" text on a Mac using Control+d.
Great video indeed!

The 'dot dot dot' you're referring to is called an ellipsis, there is a standard keyboard shortcut for it [ option + ; ]
Good to know, thanks.
Not that it matters but, Newer Macs do have a DELETE button, which perform like Win's BACKSPACE (del what's left of cursor).
To del text right of the cursor: FN + DELETE
Cmd + Shift + 4 followed by the spacebar will allow you to take a screenshot of a window, rather than the full screen of a (manual) selection.
Your tips are really useful and I hope you have a solution for my problem. I want to configure Esc key on my MacBook Pro to close Outlook mail window. Is they a way to configure that? I was trying the Keyboard shortcut options for Applications but was not able to setup Esc key stroke.
Always appreciate your presentations, have you done one on using Pages, if not would you consider it?

Loves these tips! Do you have a tip for sorting bookmarks? Seems like Apple had a brain freeze on this one. Thanks.

That app shortcut one is going to save so much time and sanity
Thanks
You're welcome, and thank you so much!

Yup, agree with you there. Pasting to match the style of whatever I'm working in should be the default, not the exception.
Gosh, how old those System Preferences look, already!
How do I add the screen shot - command + shift + 5 to my doc so it's there whenever I need it. Thank you.
Thanks re the emojis
💖😊💖
👍🏻🙏🏻😂
You can do screenshots in more formats than png and jpeg.

Nice!
Command-shift-delete to empty the trash
Thank you. I enjoyed your video. Now if you can find someone who will gift me a Mac I will be able to use what you just taught me ✌🏼️
I know some but definitely not all. So…I need a number to call you up if I blank out on how to do something in the future😂
Which editor are you using to edit these videos???
I use Final Cut Pro
My lightshot does not start on boot after changing from png to jpeg ....any ideas???

one ting I hate is that if you want to delete multiple text on your mac you need to delete one by ones😢☹️
There's no way YOU didn't know about fn+backspace.
