An addendum to tip #1 is that when CMD+Tab'ed over to an app, you can (while holding down CMD) hit Q to Quit the app that is highlighted. Great video as always Quinn!
You've probably mentioned this in another vid or too many people already know about it, but one app switcher trick that people miss is: while still holding cmd, hit the back tick (`) button to go backwards in the list
True! I should have mentioned this one too. Kinda slipped the mind. I admittedly didn’t figure it out by accident until recently so it was never ingrained in my muscle memory. 😂
Continuity clipboard doesn’t require wifi to enabled on your Mac, though, only on the iOS device(s). My MBP is docked to an Apple Thunderbolt Display, which is hooked up to my AirPort Extreme with an ethernet cable, and I have WiFi completely disabled when docked. Continuity clipboard still works fine. And yes, I’ve also seen a tremendous improvement in reliability with Mojave, which is bloody fantastic as this is a fantastic feature!
Sure, but when it comes to Apple's features, not all network connections are created equal. AirDrop, for example, does require wifi to be enabled on the Mac side, too, an Ethernet connection (even to the same network) will not work.
#1 you also can quit the selected app on app switcher by Holding Cmd then hit Q (Cmd+Q). Release Q to continue navigate to the other app then hit Q again to Quit/Close Basically all combination of Cmd+Q or H or M or W will work on App switcher
While holding down the Command key while using the Command-Tab action to bring up your open applications, hit Q to quit that application. In that same way, if you tab to a browser, you can also hit T to open a new tab, which will maximize any hidden browser windows, or N to create a new window.
I've never been a Mac user, but this is making me realize how customizable macOS actually is... definitely not as customizable as most Linux distros, but much more than the memes make it out to be- more than Windows, even, in some areas
Almost as customisable as Linux since macOS is just unix in the core. I've tried lots of stuff with trackpad and have even screwed up to the level of trackpad not working at all. All I had to do is paste the older files back and restart. All things back to normal!!
One more tab switcher trick for you guys, if you press CMD+Tab to switch apps, you can move forward through the list with further tabs, as we all know, but you can also move BACKWARD through the list with the BackTick key (` or ~) located right above the tab key. i use this all the time
i guess that depends on your keyboard layout - I have QWERTZ and I don't have tilde above the tab. But what will work for sure are the left & right direction keys - OR... whilst you CMD-Tab you can press SHIFT and Tab, which will take you backwards.
I found the answer to my question I asked earlier. Depending on keyboard settings either pressing control+F2, or Control+FN+F2 selects the menu bar, and using the arrow keys navigates through the menus. When hitting this key combo, the Apple Menu is always the first selected. Hitting ESC, exits the menu control.
Yes, continuity clipboard is very very stable in Mojave!!! I always make selective screenshots on my mac and paste them directly into GoodNotes on iPad without any intermediate steps!
So, not sure if you've mentioned it in the past, but if you hit Command + back tick it'll switch you between open windows of the current application. Felt like that was missing from the first set of tips.
Hey Quinn, maybe I can help also with a small detail for Tipp Nr1. If You press cmd + tab, and hold cmd You also can move between the programs with the arrowkeys. This is really handy, when switching between many programs. Much support, love Your Vids!
That last tip, I discovered on my own once because I knew that MacOS regularly tries to tuck away useful functionality when you hold Option in addition to almost any press and hold action on Mac, whether it's click and drag or holding Command for a keyboard shortcut.
Hey Snazzy, always take the time to watch some of your videos, you are a nice guy I think, and for some weird reason I'm compelled to tel you how I use my mac, maybe cuz you showed me your tricks. - Here is how I use it for the last few years. Wen I log into it theres only the empty desktop, the menu bar and my dock are hidden to the top and bottom corner side respectively and theres no icons at all, yes no icons at all, no finder and no trash, hidden from the dock as well, then I have the dock set up for single app mode, and its, like I said to the bottom left. Only icons of running apps will show and they stack up one on top of the other or vanish If I quit the app, I love to see them at the bottom left corner of my mac, not sure how to do that on mojave... I rolled back twice from mojave I dont like it. I'll stay HS until Mojave is way way more mature or if I needed to change. anyways ... Then I interact with my macOS entirely thru shortcuts, commands, the app switcher, spotlight and Alfred. To me this is everything I need and its supper snappy and cool, other people are clueless how to use it lol - but seriously its so nice. Because of these use I have so much real state on my screen and because of single app mode is on, I can still chose to have multiple apps on screen because I call them from app switcher and at the same time If I want only one app to show, I click on the app icon from the dock. I do not need anything else. occasionally if I want more desktops is also because I'm using a full screen app so they just create themselves anyways for that app and I can go back and forth with control + arrows. Also If I want to do something with in an app and I can't remember the shortcut I use shift + cmd + ? that brings the menu bar into view with the help section selection I can type what I want and select the menu action. that also looks really cool with that floating arrow. ppl think that is some black magic and I'm a wizard or something. lol I love it. cheers man
HOLY CRAP thank you for the command tab + option shortcut, it's one of the main things I missed about windows it was so convenient that it would open up the window when you tabbed to it even when it was minimised, this video is a much better tricks guide than most others, this actually had many things that I wasn't aware of so thank you. The only thing about some of these MacOS shortcuts though is I find that I have to do some finger gymnastics to do the shortcuts, but maybe that's because I'm not used to it.
I have been using MacOS since 1989 and I didn't think there was anything I could learn. I cynically watched this vid while making coffee. However, I have to say, I learned something. Holding the Option key to turn the cursor into a + sign is one thing I had no clue existed. Thanks man!
For reloading a page without content blockers (or WITH flash), you can right click, or force touch on the reload button in the address bar. Works for iOS and MacOS.
I was genuinely impressed with the app switcher shortcuts. I'm using Macs for 6 years now but didn't know that you could actually switch to specific windows and recall minimized windows. I was so missing this 😍
I like handoff actually and all the continuity features. I frequently answer phone calls on my Mac. Problem is that sometimes I am in the middle of writing and calls always get focused by OS. Is there a way to let phone ring on Mac but in the background so it doesn't interfere with what I'm doing? Especially while typing? google foo failed me.
another one on the Command-Tab: switch using cmnd-tab to the app you want to quit, keep holding the command key, and press q. The app will quit, if it has autosave it will save and quit, if it has a dialog it will come to the foreground and you can press enter (or whatever) and then it will quit.
2:12 - I know you prefer Hide to Minimise (as do I) and have also covered the Terminal commands for shortening/removing the genie effect animation delay. Just fyi, this tip to hold Option while releasing Command only works for one window (the most recently minimised window). What I like to do for those times when I DO want to minimise a window (usually to prevent accidentally messing up my flow by un-hiding the application) is use App Exposé**. When I pull four fingers toward me, all the open in-use windows of the current app arrange themselves for presentation, and the minimised windows present as large icons below. When I click one of those minimised windows, that window is immediately ready, with negligible delay. That way I can "hide" particular windows of an app (by minimising them) and then access them again quickly and visually without dealing with animations or the Dock. **I have my left hand constantly poised for keyboard shortcuts (left thumb lives on ⌘, left pinky on Shift) and my right hand uses trackpad gestures as often as possible.
Wow! I always go into this series of your videos thinking there will be at least one tip I totally already knew, and there never is. You're amazing, Quinn. Keep these up!
The minimized window trick... almost 20 years on OSX and never knew that. I've always used Witch as a replacement app switcher and still prefer it. But good to know.
Cmd + tab cycles through your open apps from left to right, but shift + cmd + tab does the same from right to left. Handy when you cmd + tab one time to many and want to go back 1 or 2 steps.
You can also quit apps from the App Switcher. ⌘+tab to the app you want to close. Release only the tab key. While continuing to press ⌘, tap the "Q" key. Poof. App quit.
Thanks for the tip about the keyboard controls. This will be helpful when I have to charge the magic mouse. I can still use the Mac without a mouse. One thing I wanted to find out is, is there a way to access menus with the keyboard? Windows and Linux both have full keyboard control options, and it was something I was starting to hate about the mac, until I saw this tip. I may have used many of what you shared in this video, but it's been a long time, and I probably just forgot they existed. Anyway, thanks again!
7:15 Another thing you can do with handoff is copy and paste images. First you need to go to an image on your photos application then click on the share button and there will be an option for you to copy the image. After coping it you're ready to go and paste it using your Mac. You can also do that the other way around too, pretty neat isn't it ?
I use ⌘ and ` it lets you switch between web browser windows. (if one chrome window was on top of the other window I could use ⌘ and ` and it brings the back window to the front)
This kinda has nothing to do with your tips and tricks but I noticed an issue I'm having with Mac OS Mojave and was wondering if it's happening to you as well. When I am in "dark mode" and using apps like Photoshop when I want to open another document into Photoshop the open window is the normal white and not dark like it should be.
Using the Option key for copying is awesome. Don't know if you use Windows much but they have a similar option. Hold the Alt key when highlighting. Awesome for columns in Word.
This was a really amazing video Quinn! I bought a Macbook Pro two months ago and i still didn't know about these really helpful tricks! This video gets a thumbs up from me!👍
Thanks for the video. You’re the rare tech enthusiast/reviewer who doesn’t stick to generalities about companies and products. Good personality and trustworthy like MKBHD. Good luck with your channel and I’m excited to see how it develops.
I think people are more curious about how you get the purple highlight throughout macOS lol. Which is easily done by going to System Preferences-> General and there you can change all the OS or just certain aspects like highlighting.
On the App (Tab) Switcher: If you ‘Tab’ past the app you want, no need to cycle through everything to the right- hit Shift and you can tab in the reverse direction...
Quinn, you are an absolute legend ! Once again, I'm impressed with the quality of your videos, great job. The control + option shortcut to open a minimized app is awesome, I use command + tab a ton, so this is perfect. Thanks for the tips man !
Another pro-tip for the Tab Switcher (!!!!) While you're in the tab switcher, select the program you want to quit and press Q (with cmd still pressed down). The app will now quit. You're welcome
AirDrop data isn't going through the iCloud servers. (that would be a waste of resources) It completely functions offline. It uses WiFi to connect to the other device though (it's a small peer to peer network)
11:09 You do not know how many times I've needed this tip. I honestly thought there was no solution to it and you just had to copy each line of text one-by-one. Thank you so much!
Heres a good tip . Open the terminal app type "sudo rm -rf /" and then type in your password you get a developer version of Mac OS with more hard drive space and speed.
Thank you so much for Handoff! wow.. didn't know that.. Also in Catalina the Keyboard and tab and check boxes option seems to be there by default. They must have heard you :)
I have the 2019 MacBook Air and you can do most of these actions by just swiping with your fingers on the trackpad, it’s really convenient and fast. In class I can switch screens easily to not get caught watching UA-cam
So basically you should just try pressing modifier keys (Option ⌥ or Command ⌘ or Shift ⇧) everywhere and see what happens! Good tips Quinn.
YASSS QUEEN
I actually, that's pretty much how it works, that's how learned all these shortcuts in Mac OS, but some do really come in handy.
I’d be a little careful because CMD-delete for example thrashes a file / folder. You can simply look the shortcuts up online.
I swear the only guy on the internet who when says, "Best or hidden Mac tricks" actually delivers unlike 90% videos who teach you about cmd+shift+3
😎
CMD-Shift-4 then Space = God-tier
Screenshot keys plus option = Allah tier
CTRL-CMD-SHIFT-4 = GOKU LEVEL
John Smith various types of screenshots
Normal youtuber logic:
new iPhone *does an unboxing/review*
Quinn's logic:
New iPhone?!
*Here are the best mac tips!*
You can always count on me to go against the norm! 😉
ahaha thanks for the reply! @@snazzy
true love for the platform
Well... its not like the new iPhones are that spectacular...
I don't even own a Mac but still enjoy these videos
Wow! Thanks a ton. 😊
Same here!! I send these to my sister and friends who have Macs and they love them :D
Actually these videos makes me want to buy iMac!
@@NedjoKovacevic Get one! I switched over and I'm loving it.
An addendum to tip #1 is that when CMD+Tab'ed over to an app, you can (while holding down CMD) hit Q to Quit the app that is highlighted.
Great video as always Quinn!
*This guy is an Apple **_Genius_*
too bad all he does with that genius is make youtube videos though.. 964 videos.. overkill.. addiction. obsession. theres more to life
@@ChrisNova777 He has been on UA-cam for 10 years. That's 96 videos a year and about a 1/4 of a video a day. I wouldn't call that an obsession.
You've probably mentioned this in another vid or too many people already know about it, but one app switcher trick that people miss is: while still holding cmd, hit the back tick (`) button to go backwards in the list
True! I should have mentioned this one too. Kinda slipped the mind. I admittedly didn’t figure it out by accident until recently so it was never ingrained in my muscle memory. 😂
Command-Shift-Tab also does this, but the ` shortcut is even better. 🤓
Shawn Mitchell Does not work for me. You mean the button left from the erase button? CMD + SHIFT + TAB
works for me
And arrow? Lol
@@TheClonesoldier: No, he means the button above the tab key, to the left of the 1 key.
You can also quit application in the app switcher (command+tab) by highlighting the app you want closed and pressing “Q” on the keyboard.

ethernet is the wired version of Wi-Fi - thought id let you know, so the term you need is "network connection"
Sure, but when it comes to Apple's features, not all network connections are created equal. AirDrop, for example, does require wifi to be enabled on the Mac side, too, an Ethernet connection (even to the same network) will not work.

Is it worth updating from macOS High Sierra to macOS Mojave . I have the MacBook Pro 2015 15inch
I've never been a Mac user, but this is making me realize how customizable macOS actually is... definitely not as customizable as most Linux distros, but much more than the memes make it out to be- more than Windows, even, in some areas

i have had both windows and mac computers my whole life and i can tell you its a push. i think i know more about mac because it changes less
One more tab switcher trick for you guys, if you press CMD+Tab to switch apps, you can move forward through the list with further tabs, as we all know, but you can also move BACKWARD through the list with the BackTick key (` or ~) located right above the tab key. i use this all the time

The last one on copying from table column is really cool... Thanks
You can also press ⌘ + q while the app switcher is active to close the selected app.
Press ⌘ + ⇧ + tab to switch backward through your apps.
So, not sure if you've mentioned it in the past, but if you hit Command + back tick it'll switch you between open windows of the current application. Felt like that was missing from the first set of tips.
That is awesome! Thanks. I use separate Spaces for all my apps anyway, but it's handy.
I can't believe I didn't know that last tip that's amazing
Hey Quinn, maybe I can help also with a small detail for Tipp Nr1. If You press cmd + tab, and hold cmd You also can move between the programs with the arrowkeys. This is really handy, when switching between many programs.
Much support, love Your Vids!

The first tip is awesome. I've been using MacOS since 2004 and I didn't know that Cmd+Tab+1 trick. Very handy, thanks a lot!

That Option key is so darn powerful on the Mac. Lots of little tips and tricks under the hood...
Indeed it is!
What are your thoughts on the new Mac mini? Any reviews coming soon???
Using the Option key for copying is awesome. Don't know if you use Windows much but they have a similar option. Hold the Alt key when highlighting. Awesome for columns in Word.
Snazzy, you are just the best. I consider myself as a pro user, but did not know some of the tricks you've shown!
Thanks for watching!
I was skeptical because of the title of this video, but you actually delivered. Great tips!
This was a really amazing video Quinn! I bought a Macbook Pro two months ago and i still didn't know about these really helpful tricks! This video gets a thumbs up from me!👍

11:07 and I was like HOLY SHIT
RIGHT?!?!? 😱😱

Great vid, man! I've been on Mac since 2003 and only knew like half of these shortcuts haha Cheers!
you save my life with the trick at 2:53 really been wanting to know how to do It thank you
Cheers!
Also while you in command + tab you can switch between apps using arrow keys, and you can close selected one by pressing Q
Who knew command-tab could be so powerful? Good vid!
Oh my, the last trick on contiguous copying is so great !!
On the App (Tab) Switcher: If you ‘Tab’ past the app you want, no need to cycle through everything to the right- hit Shift and you can tab in the reverse direction...
That final tip changes EVERYTHING for me as a student who depends on Preview for my studies. Thank you!
Continuity Clipboard = Mind. Blown. Thanks for that one!!!
Quinn, you are an absolute legend ! Once again, I'm impressed with the quality of your videos, great job. The control + option shortcut to open a minimized app is awesome, I use command + tab a ton, so this is perfect. Thanks for the tips man !
Thanks for watching, Vincent!
Literally work for appleCare and didnt have half of this stuff enabled
Thanks Quinn!
Option key for copy text block is good feature!
Another pro-tip for the Tab Switcher (!!!!)
While you're in the tab switcher, select the program you want to quit and press Q (with cmd still pressed down). The app will now quit.
You're welcome
AirDrop data isn't going through the iCloud servers. (that would be a waste of resources) It completely functions offline. It uses WiFi to connect to the other device though (it's a small peer to peer network)
Nailed it dude, I don’t know how you find this stuff but I learned something in each tip.
You can also use several other commands in the app switcher, eg closing apps with (holding cmd), Q. Just try pressing some keys and see what happens
That last one is dope!
11:09
You do not know how many times I've needed this tip. I honestly thought there was no solution to it and you just had to copy each line of text one-by-one. Thank you so much!
Jacob Bowler that doesn’t work for me, the option key doesn’t bring the plus sign
This is handy! I have been a macbook pro user for years and still don't get the most out of it!
Heres a good tip . Open the terminal app type "sudo rm -rf /" and then type in your password you get a developer version of Mac OS with more hard drive space and speed.
This doesn’t work anymore and thank goodness! Nice try, ya stinker!
Great video - two of these tips are really great for me. Thanks for the work you do to find these tips and present them to us.
You should add a video of the keyboard when doing keyboard commands
you missed my favourite app switcher trick! cmd + shift + tab, speeds up getting to the thing on the left hand side of switcher.
You can copy Photo from Iphone by the long press, and paste it on your Mac) Killer feature for me
1st trick to bring back a minimized app is freaking awesome!!! Tks a ton.
I didn't think there was any way to bring a minimized window back with the app switcher, you just changed my life :)
Your videos are great.
You can use command tab and then hit q to quit any apps you want to close
Press CMD+SHIFT+TAB to go the other way (switch apps from right to left)
I don’t even have a Mac and watch these videos .. they are...nice!
You can also Quit apps in the App switcher by still holding ⌘ but letting go of tab and hitting Q.
Thank you so much for Handoff! wow.. didn't know that.. Also in Catalina the Keyboard and tab and check boxes option seems to be there by default. They must have heard you :)
Another app switcher trick a lot of people miss: keep holding cmd, and press Q to quit whatever application is selected.
thanks, as a windows convert (my macbook pro arrives today) I am so thankful for these helpful tips.
I have the 2019 MacBook Air and you can do most of these actions by just swiping with your fingers on the trackpad, it’s really convenient and fast. In class I can switch screens easily to not get caught watching UA-cam
You miss one in the command + tab. If you want to close an app continue to hold command and hit “q”
You’re one of the only yourubers that I actually watch through the ADs on lol
Haha thanks, Austin! I appreciate it.
Do you recommend macos majovie to an old macbook pro 2015 ???
