01. System Preferences
- Function keys: Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → Function Keys.
- Keyboard controls: Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → use keyboard navigation to move focus between controls.
- Tap to click: Trackpad → Point & Click → Tap to click.
- Three-finger drag: Accessibility → Pointer Control → Trackpad Options → Enable dragging.
- Hot corners: Desktop & Dock → Hot Corners.
Drag a window from anywhere, not just the title bar:
defaults write -g NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture -bool true
Make the automatically hidden Dock respond faster:
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.5
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -int 0
killall Dock
Restore the Dock defaults:
defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier
defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-delay
killall Dock
02. Finder
- Show all filename extensions.
- Search the current folder by default.
- Show the status bar, path bar and tab bar.
03. Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
This sample deliberately uses fenced Markdown code blocks. The Apple Notes shortcut must export a Note’s Monospaced blocks this way if it should render consistently on GitHub Pages.
