必须熟悉的macOS的5个实用小技巧

In the world of the macOS system, there are actually numerous highly practical yet little – known hidden features. Due to various reasons, these features have failed to attract the attention of most users, leaving us with only a superficial understanding of the many cutting – edge technologies embedded in Apple computers. Next, let’s explore these practical macOS tips together!

When we are deeply engaged in writing, we often need to open another window for tasks like looking up information. However, we don’t want it to cover the window where we’re editing. At this point, simply hold down the ⌘command key and then drag the newly opened window. You’ll find that the window can be moved freely without interfering with your current work.

Perhaps you already know that the Finder toolbar can be customized, but you may not imagine how powerful it can be. While holding down the command key, you can directly place the icons of your frequently used applications on the toolbar. In this way, when you need to open a file, just drag the file directly onto the corresponding application icon, and you can quickly associate and open the file, greatly improving operational efficiency. It’s extremely convenient.

If you find that a frequently used function in a software doesn’t have a ready – made shortcut key, don’t worry. We can add it ourselves. Take the browser as an example. If you want to add a shortcut key for “Manage All History”, you need to pay special attention that during the addition process, the name you enter must be exactly the same as the option name in the software. If there is a punctuation mark at the end of the option name, you must also include it when adding the shortcut key to ensure an accurate match. This way, you can successfully set a convenient shortcut key for yourself.

Do you want to make your Mac’s lock screen unique? Just click “” -> “System Preferences” -> “Security & Privacy” in sequence. Click the “small lock” icon in the lower – left corner of the interface to unlock the settings. Then check the option “Show a message when the screen is locked”, and click “Set Lock Message”. Enter the personalized content you want to display in the pop – up window, and you can leave a personal mark on the lock screen.

If you accidentally forget the WiFi password at home and your Mac computer has connected to this network before, don’t worry. You can easily find the original password through the “Keychain Access” tool. The specific operation is simple and convenient, so you no longer have to worry about forgetting the password.
