Nay. Nobody knoweth more than Sir. Anthony and Papa Linus.

[@BrawndoQC]

Yeah I thought I knew a lot about MacOS. I learned quite a few things in this video. Really loved it especially since I'm a keyboard shortcut kind of person not a clicker.

[@videobeagle]

@@snazzy Well, Anthony..sure.

[@trumanhw]

I literally use 80% of these regularly and have given the same "lectures" for the more general ones to my customers. This is an impressive list; it's RARE someone knows as many generalized tips as I do ... let alone to teach me a few.

Snazzy can you make a video about how to run windows applications on Mac without using boot camp? About to buy a laptop and I would really appreciate your opinion.

[@MrAndyisReal]

Shane you could use wine but generally if you’re looking to use windows applications it’s best to use boot camp.

[@nicholasarcher]

Somebody said Snazzy Mac Tips in the comments below, so I made this kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnezg2iMaJ2ejMU because I'm quarantined and bored.

[@twentyone.media21]

Wow. I use my mac for about 6 years and thought "okay... 36min for tips you already know and which every KZbin show?" I give it a try and more than 75% are new for me! Thank you very much, I think, that will help my workflows a lot :)) Greetings from Germany

[@michel_jjj3852]

4:30 You can also add programs to the toolbar and than open files with that program by dragging the file to the icon of said program

[@ManuRedd]

thanks!!

[@JacksMacintosh]

21:15 for making the little sound when adjusting volume, it should say hold shift, not the space bar. How you managed to absolutely nail every other one is beyond me. Awesome video!

[@numanaminmehr5266]

I can't hear it neither with shift nor with spacebar lol

[@fjoseantunes]

@@numanaminmehr5266 You must have MacOSX. Thanks.

[@patgreen1309]

Thanks I'd thought it was because I was using an old mac it didn't work, shift now works for me. It's useful to see if a bluetooth speaker is working.

[@DJTechYT]

Me: watches video Also me 10 seconds after the video ended: *forgets about 80% of the tips* Great video as usual and stay safe!

[@chrisanckaert]

I saved in 2 separate playlists, there are so many 'quick' good tips, I'll have to look at it several times!

[@fssf666]

glad for you that you remember 20% of the tips. thats around 30 tips. I remember like 4 or 5 tips😒

[@tekuali7128]

Here's an extra tip: use Stickies to take notes from KZbin videos! Works best in Firefox because Firefox won't move to its own exclusive desktop when you full-screen it.

[@k0lzee174]

Started binging your videos since last night and I gotta say, you're probably the only youtuber who gets straight to the point and delivers stuff while not being robotic or boring while doing so as well. Cheers!

When using PIP in Safari, if you hold down the Command key, you can drag it to wherever you want and it won't snap to the corners.

I have always felt extremely grateful for this series of Mac tips, and it was really nice (and a good idea) to see them + others all compiles. It was a great run!

[@vedrankin4184]

...and then on top of all, he adds all shortcuts in description bellow. What a master! This is true piece of art! :) Thank you

[@mewintle]

Thank you! I just came back to the Mac for the first time in a decade (since the OSX beta in 2000). I’m a network engineer and I’ve been stuck in the Windows world. I finally made the leap back with an M1 MacBook Air. I’m loving the laptop, but I’ve been struggling with the UI-I think more than a new user. :) This video really helps me with just the right level of tech expertise. I really appreciate it.

[@moneszka326]

Migrated from Windows to Mac, watching the video, taking notes and trying out the features. Can't thank you enough. More like this please!

Just thought when there couldn't be any more Mac tips... and they're still tech tips too. Don't tell Linus.

[@tarunkumaar625]

I don't even own a Mac, yet I continue to watch all these tip videos. Mac seems to have much better search features and a lot of cool customisability even though it sucks in other areas.

Honestly, this video blew my mind. As a new Mac user, I look forward to taking in your knowledge and increasing my efficiency!

[@tylerphalen4223]

The Printer on desktop is a great tip, but it is a bit easier to just type command + P with the file selected and the same thing will happen with no dragging and no printer on the desktop. Great tips! usually I avoid these videos because most of them are "the Mac has a control center" or "look... widgets." This tip video is THE BEST tip video I have ever watched for Mac OS and I definitely implemented several of the tips right after I picked my jaw back up off the floor!

[@jugaadusapere1610]

You are one of the best when it comes to MacOS tips. You’re the Master of Mac🎉 kudos to you for creating such in depth videos👏🏻

[@HaikuOezu]

Instead of right clicking the video twice to play it in PIP mode you can just right the little "This tab is playing audio" icon either in the tab or in the address bar and choose "Play in Picture in Picture Mode" This even works on websites where you can't do the double right click menu trick like Netflix and Twitch

[@NomadicDmitry]

Been a Mac user for more than a decade. I think I know like half of those tips only. Very nice!

[@SpontaneityJD]

This is by far, the most useful video on KZbin

[@naamah-dh]

This is the best video ever. Smart Folders changed my life and even the little things like three finger drag. I'm all for it. Thanks Snazzy Labs!

[@reinaortega7464]

So glad I found this video! I NEEDED the command + to enlarge my files in list view. Thank you!!!

[@xawnia]

So glad there are more people out there that use 3-finger drag. Apple should really add this to their iPad Trackpad options as well. Thanks for the quick show-hide of the Dock, that’s handy!

[@yt_bharat]

True mac master, one of the most authentic videos i ve ever come across for real legitimate mac tips. Thanks 😊

[@clarkgourguejr]

Might already be known: The PiP feature in Safari for KZbin is awesome, it "snaps" to the four corners for the screen when you move it around, but if you hold CMD while moving it will stay wherever you put it! Just tried it while watching your video, so cool! I said "No Way!" many times throughout this video lol. Thanks Quinn!

[@TheWrongButton]

Was about to start taking notes but then I noticed all the timestamps in the description. This much information condensed into a video is amazing!

[@slearey2]

I like the shortcut for opening system preferences in a list. Right click on system preferences and hold. You get an alphabetical list above the icon. Much easier than remembering which row an action is in.

[@MichaelJuska]

Awesome. This has blown my mind and changed how I will use my Mac forever. I finally learnt something useful during lockdown!

[@ianbowles7173]

21:08 - Missed one of my all time favorites for screenshot tips...- (it's probably already been mentioned) hold "control" while taking any of your Command-Shift-4 shots and it will put it right in the clipboard instead of making a file.

[@DennySantos23]

Thank you for making al of these videos to help us and learn all these mac tips to make us better users. Gracias.

[@reybyelov]

Please help! Is there a terminal command to disable Safari sidebar popping out whenever a mouse cursor flies around the left side of the screen? This is sooooo annoying. Thanks for this amazing video!!

One thing that I like to do with the command removing the dock animation is to type 0.25 instead of 0. It still looks nice while being super quick 👍

[@lilbigmonsta]

OMG thank you, the lack of cut functionality on MacOS was driving me nuts. The option + cmd +V shortcut is literally life changing!

[@gg48gg]

Thank you for your videos! You're such a great resource for me in my switch to wonderful M1 hardware with an unexpectedly difficult OS to learn! By the way, I think this video could also be appropriately entitled 150+ reasons why it's needlessly difficult to become a power user in macOS. Or ~100 keyboard shortcuts you'll probably never remember because ...was that shift+cmd+Ctrl or was that cmd+option or was it fn+shift+cmd+Ctrl??????? Or 150+ reasons Apple was smoking crack while designing macOS keyboard shortcuts and other reasons you need expensive 3rd party apps to make your OS work in a logical and simpler way. By the way, my wife, a loving and loyal Mac user, said "you're right" for the first time ever when I complained today about macOS keyboard shortcuts being so illogical. There is that for me to be appreciative about. Hopefully this made you smile.

[@TravellLove]

So trueee. I absolutely despise using CMD + shift + control + option. Like I've 20 fingers on one hand.

Great video snazz! I remember most of these from all of your other mac tips videos (which is what made me find your channel years ago) but I still watched it all and loved it!

[@nunmpedro]

20:00 and you can add Ctrl to the Screenshots Shortcuts (e.g. Cmd+Shift+Ctrl+4) and the screenshot go to the clipboard instead of creating an image. Very convenient if you just want to show something in a conversation.

[@Max-zy2ie]

For the dock, if you want it to appear be quick but still have the animation I recommend: defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.15;killall Dock This will open the dock 6.6 times faster. Basically you can set it to anything between 0 (no animation) to 1

[@Wookiemonsterfreak]

Try command alt (option) control and then the eject/ power button (on newer macs)

[@xaddict]

Also in Finder column mode: hold option and double click the column divider and it’ll individually resize each column to fit everything.

[@xaddict]

Also, after using Command+TAB, hold command and use the arrow keys to walk through the apps.

[@xaddict]

In most browsers, use Control+Tab to walk through the tabs and Control+Shift+Tab to walk through them in reverse.

[@HarrisonGray]

I could genuinely watch a 10 hour video of you with these Mac tips 😂

[@Djimusic]

In regards to the screen sharing, you can open Screen Sharing from Spotlight and put any person’s Apple ID. I do a lot of tech support, and as long as they have an Apple ID, I can request access without the other person installing anything. They simply click Accept in the top right, and we’re connected including VOIP. My favorite feature hands down!

[@taskforce_kerim]

Love the command to put the dock to the side. I can’t stand the dock being at the bottom (and even worse if it is set to not auto-hide). Turning off the animation is definitely something I have to set up for me, as well. Thank you for the great advice!
