      I got a tip for you Greg that you may not be aware of, but I know you'll like! For an even faster way to quit multiple apps; try this - 1) if you have a bunch of open apps, hit ⌘-TAB like you normally would to switch apps. 2) Keeping your finger down on the ⌘ key, tap either TAB (or an arrow key) to highlight the next app, then tap 'Q' to quit the app currently selected. 3) Then just tap 'Q' continuously to quit all the apps in a few seconds. The main point is to always keep your finger on the ⌘ key!

    That was great to watch.
    Frankly speaking, all the tricks were so amazing, I liked them all and most importantly, the way you were showing them with that great energy made me watch them till the end and while watching I was following your steps doing exactly the same change with my Mac too.
    That one for taking photo with iPhone and get them to your Mac really stood out for me.
    Amazing
    Well done Greg.
    Good job
    Keep it up
    All my thumbs up for you!

    Great video and favorites were the continuity feature of adding directly into notes but also the adding different icons to the folders. There were more but those were very helpful. Keep up the great work!

    One thing I always do is change "double click window's title bar to minimize" rather than zoom. I minimize far more often than I zoom, so that's one of the first changes I make whenever I get a new Mac.

    would you mind telling me what's the difference between hiding and minimizing an application? and sometimes cmd+tab is now bringing the window to the front but I can see it's name on top. So it becomes useless since I'll have to go down and press the app again.

    I like to have the menu bar disappear in full screen mode. Sometimes to relax I'll do a bit of streaming of something I'm watching online at AppleTV+, Netflix or whatever. Of course I'm watching a tv program or movie so I switch it to full screen mode. The menu bar is a distraction, to the experience of the movie or tv. That will automatically take it away.
