This article shows you what the small functions on Mac are, which are concise and easy to understand, which will definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

MacOS is very rich in features. Although many partners have been using Mac for a long time, some small functions may be ignored more or less in the process of use. Let's follow the editor to see what functions they have.

Menu bar app icon can be moved

The location of menu bar tools and app icons is not fixed. Hold down the command key while dragging the icon to move the position

Program dock change position and size

The size and position of the program dock (Dock bar) is not fixed, not only at the bottom, but also on both sides. It can even be hidden automatically. You can save desktop space.

Can be set in the system preferences or right-click (two-click) the split line on the right side of the program dock.

Retrieve the touch version of the three-finger drag gesture

MacOS canceled the three-finger drag gesture by default in the touch version, but did not remove it. If you still like the three-finger drag gesture, you can turn it on in "system preferences"-"accessibility"-"Mouse and Touch version"-"Touch version options".

Use focused search to check exchange rate

"focus search" is really a great feature on macOS! Not only can you quickly open app, act as a calculator, find files, but also check exchange rates and calculate units. When it comes to something like "how many pounds is one kilogram?" "or" one dollar equals how many RMB "such a question still need Baidu?

Save all pictures in the Pages document

Sometimes there are many pictures in a long Pages document. If you want to save all the pictures separately, you can rename the .pages file format to the .zip file format. Then unzip it, and all the images in the Pages document will be found in the Data directory in the extracted folder.

Mac can also provide voice input and handwriting input.

Mac not only has many built-in languages and input methods, but also supports voice-to-text input like iPhone. You can even use the touch version for handwriting.

Voice to text input by default as long as double-click the lower left-hand corner of the "fn" key to start input.

Handwriting input first needs to turn on "handwriting input" in the input method settings. Then switch to "handwriting" when entering text, and you can write happily on the touchpad.

Information can be shared on screen

MacOS's "information" app can not only send and receive text messages, imassage, but also initiate screen sharing. As long as the other party's Mac information is logged in to Apple ID, you can click on the recipient to rotate the sharing screen.

Multiple desktops

For beginners, you may not know that Mac can actually open multiple desktops at the same time. Just swipe up with three or four fingers in the touch version and click the add button ➕ to add a desktop space. And up to 16 desktop spaces can be created.

Swipe left or right (shortcut control- left or right arrow keys) to switch between desktop space.

When dealing with multitasking at the same time, putting different tasks on different desktops will also make the desktop less cluttered and more efficient. And the software window of one desktop can also be moved to another desktop.

Make use of "connection interworking"

If you use iPhone (or iPad) as well as Mac, then "connectivity" can sometimes be very elegant and efficient.

For example, copy a piece of text on Mac and paste it on iPhone immediately. The whole process is seamless and natural. Not only words, but even pictures are fine.

The software can't be turned off? Try a forced exit.

If the software pretends to die, it cannot be closed by using ⌘-Q, nor can it be closed by right-clicking in the program dock. You can press and hold the option key when you right-click to close, and then the "exit" option will become "forced exit".

Note that "forced exit" may lose what you are currently working on.
