3 Useful macOS Tips

From February 2020

1. Instant calculator: “Command + Space” can bring up Spotlight, which can help quickly search for files and Applications. While incredibly useful for that alone, it can also be used to do quick currency conversions and basic math, but note it uses commas as decimal points.

2. Instantly moving things to Trash: “Command + Delete” can instantly move a selected file to Trash, or if you’re a hundred percent sure you want the file gone for good, “Command + Option + Delete” can eliminate a file instantly without you having to empty Trash.

3. Move open application in the background: If you select “Command” on an open application in the background, you can move it without it going into the foreground of your computer. This can be especially useful when referencing something from another window for whatever you’re working on.

We hope you found these tips and tricks useful.
