As someone who doesn't like to fool around with so many settings. You make things easier by watching your videos. Thanks

Are you a fan of the window margin, or did you turn that off?

[@mokaLARE]

I did not start using it yet. I will give it a try and see if I like it.

[@jesperwall839]

I’ve turned it off 👍

[@ldburroughs]

This was an excellent video! So helpful! Thank you!

[@OldCampos]

Drag Windows to menu bar to fill screen is not in macOS 15.0.1, this is likely also a macOS 15.1 option. I know the new features are cool and all, but I'd recommend sticking to only the features which are in public releases, you can a separate video when 15.1 does become publicly available. Or if not, add a disclaimer on the video saying, "Option on macOS 15.1 or newer".

Hello B- always amazing videos. Thank you! I am a long time watcher and subscriber. Concerning the first tip that you gave us on this video. It is the cursor, reaching the corner or edge, that triggers the the corner or side. Thought you might want to know!

That's interesting. I have 15.01 and do not have the option, "Drag windows to menu bar to fill screen".

Hmm, it must be a macOS 15.1 setting then. If you had the issue mentioned in video, you can uncheck the Tiling setting in that same menu and just hold option when moving windows

[@techwithtyler20]

Still waiting for animations to return to pop up menus, checkboxes, and radio buttons, and for segmented controls and menus to get animations like on iOS.

[@PraneetTulshyan]

the new beta has the AI button pinned on top in Notes, surprised it didn't show up in your video

[@nineteenvlogs]

Do you know how to keep the docker always visible when on fullscreen mode? Thanks

[@mardymarvin8441]

I think this is the 2nd video you have shown something on either mac or iphone that i dont have the option for. This time its to drag windows to menu bar to fill I assume there must be some other setting that enables that.

M1 was discontinued earlier this year. M2 and M3 are your options.

Hi Brandon , how you add the icons at the right courier,, I appreciate if you answer me this time .

[@Chopper153]

Windows 7 had superior window snapping. Even after being 15 years, Apple can't figure how to do this properly.

[@signguy9244]

I was following along and could not find some of the settings you were talking about.

[@techwithtyler20]

15.1

[@iankastelic5146]

Hello Brandon - will you share with us, please, which browser you use? I want to use Safari, but it definitely is slower than chrome, and perhaps even edge. I love the vertical tabs in edge and cannot find anything, that works as well in Safari. Any insight you can provide will be much appreciated. I see a lot of comments online about the same concerns. Perhaps you can address them in a video?

[@micleeso]

Writing tools should be a shortcut to all input text fields.

When does update 15.1 come out ?

[@HearMeLearn]

can you install programs that are downloaded from the internet? I haven't updated because I heard they are trying to stop you from doing that as if they own your computer

[@BrandonButch]

Yeah, no issues with that. At least not for me

[@rrrosecarbinela]

It's kind of annoying that once you've used double click to fill a screen, you can't use it again to restore the previous size of the window... Also, the Passwords app doesn't play nice with 1Password, it keeps insisting that I need to turn the automation setting on, and that pop-up window blocks my ability to use my original password manager. 1Password gives me options that the new app does not... I had to completely disable the new app and take it off the toolbar and the dock.

[@notafanboy250]

"Minyoo" for "menu" is like nails on a chalkboard to my ears.

[@vusheth]

No auto fill option for passwords?

Good video but that delayed/smooth mouse cursor effect is very annoying. Just show the original mouse.

@@BrandonButch Sometimes I move around a window and accidentally touch the hot zones and it then attempts to tile or resizes that window. To me its just a dumb gimick however I realize this is useful to other people, I do respect this. I might be wrong but I think Microsoft did this a long long time ago and frankly Apple can do better than copying MS in my opinion.
