    NOTE: at 8:51, the shortcut displayed on screen is incorrect. It's ⌥⌘V and NOT ⌥⌘C

      Snazzy Labs have you thought about making some videos about automator? :) for example, I made one that speaks whatever I write and saves it to a wave file.

      Can't you just hold ⌘ and drag then drop to move files? Or is this function not able to be done in newer versions of Mac as I still use 10.9...

      I agree wholeheartedly. Been using a Mac since 1984 and was not expecting anything I didn't already know. However, since each new iteration of the MacOS often includes new features and keyboard shortcuts, it is not surprising that I learned something new from this video.

    Don't know if anybody mentioned it, but you can drag-and-drop a file onto an application's Dock icon or its icon in the Applications folder, and if the app can open the file, it will open it. If not, it will tell you it can't. Nice for when you're not sure what app to use to open a file. If you're trying to save to a certain folder, you can drag that folder's icon to the location selector ("Where") and drop it and it will change to the the folder you dragged. Also, if you highlight a file's icon and then press SPACE, you get a nice preview of that file if a preview is available. I find this incredibly useful for Pages or Word files, photos, videos, etc. Great video!
