| Video Discription | For beginners or advanced Mac users: These are my top 12 favorite Mac OS hidden features that you need to be using. Subscribe! http://goo.gl/RqU0nl Spacebar to preview One of the simplest tricks on Mac is press Spacebar to preview files. It works on a surprisingly large variety of file formats: office docs, PDFs, audio files, video files, fonts, etc. Saves a lot of time. Spotlight Cmd + Spacebar is the shortcut to Spotlight search which you can use to quickly open apps or files. This is a very simple and well-known feature and one of my most used keyboard shortcuts on the Mac. Spotlight can also perform calculations and look up other useful info like current conversion rates for currencies, the weather and flight statuses. Digitally Sign PDFs with Preview Preview app can automatically create a digital signature to allow you to digitally sign PDFs. Go to Preview, Tools, Annotate, Signature, Manage Signatures. Then hold up a signed piece of paper to the webcam and it will automatically create and save that digital signature for you so you can use anytime you need to digitally sign a PDF in the future. Emoji Keyboard To bring up the emoji keyboard in Mac OS simply press ctrl+Cmd+space Quickly hide or close apps Hold Cmd while pressing tab to scroll through your open apps. When you reach the app you want to close or hide, press either Q to quit or H to hide the app. Dictation MacOS has a built-in speech to text feature called Dictation. Instead of typing, just press the fn key twice and a microphone icon will pop up and then you can start speaking into your microphone and it will type out what you're talking and when you're done you just click Done. Screenshots Cmd + shift + 4 = Capture dragged area & save to desktop Cmd + shift + 3 = Capture entire screen & save to desktop Cmd + ctrl + shift + 3 = Capture entire screen & copy to clipboard Cmd + ctrl + shift + 4 = Capture dragged area & copy to clipboard Cmd + shift + 4 + Space = Capture a window & save to desktop Cmd + ctrl + shift + 4 + Space = Capture a window & copy to clipboard Quickly create file from selected text Select text then drag and drop to desktop or folder and it will automatically create a file with the selected text in it Change Volume/Brightness in Quarter-Step Increments Hold Shift + Option and change your brightness or volume to adjust in smaller increments for more precise control. Summarize Text Mac OS allows you to quickly summarize long pieces of text in just a few seconds. To summarize a text first select it, right click on the selection and click on “Summarize”. To enable the summary feature, click on the app name in the status bar, click Services, Services Preferences, scroll down and check “Summarize”. More Space If you own a #Mac with a Retina display you can scale the screen to create more screen space. This feature also works if you have a second monitor connected to your main Retina device. Go to System preferences, Display, Click Scale, and choose More Space. Quick Dictionary If you have a Trackpad you can select a word and do a 3-finger tap to quickly bring up the definition of the selected word.
