Windows User Switches to MacBook Pro

If you want to delete instead of backspace, hold the fn key down and press delete, it then acts exactly like the windows delete key. Two key presses required yes, but it eventually becomes muscle momory.

I agree with you. One of the features that I like the most is how macbook stays at the same speed even though the battery life is about run out.

I recommend: - pasta, for the clipboard - rectangle, for resizing windows with shortcuts - ctrl + c to copy the the screenshot and not save it - fn + del to use delete backwards apps are both free and works amazing

06:54 Small tip: You can have a screenshot automatically available in the clipboard, instead of being saved to a file, if you hold down Ctrl as you are dragging and releasing the capture border 👍

This was exactly my experience going from Windows to Mac for everything. Took a little bit of time getting used to it but now I see the benefits.

Great video. The thing that I can’t get beyond is how hard it will be to learn an entirely different OS. It seems like it would not just take months to learn the complete gamut, but building the muscle memory to do it all again without thinking. These devices add hundreds of new functions every year so I salute you for your willingness to invest so much time to learn something new.

Hey! I have recently switched to mac from windows too, for the delete key you can use fn + backspace. I was so used to using delete that editing text felt really slow until I discovered the key combination

First time on the channel. I think the video is great. Videos about day to day experience are much more understandable for normal users than watching benchmarks. Some things i've read in the comments and what i learned myself. The "delete" function can be used with the function and backspace keys (read that in the comments and tried it out, it worked) or by pressing the control and "D" keys simultaneously. For the screenshots you could try using command+shift+5 instead of command+shift+4 (which i assume you use). You can just copy the screenshot (with command+c) then and paste it to where you want it to be. Also command+shift+3 would be a screenshot of the whole screen.

If you're a gamer, use windows

I haven't scrolled to see if someone's mentioned this yet in another comment but for the multitask view 7:46 you can hold option when hovering the fullscreen button, and what it does is allows you to fullscreen/split screen an app you're using without actually entering "Fullscreen" mode. This should allow you to open up other windows on top of your splitscreen view.

Hey bro, you can actually customise your dock in the setting, and you can drag the folders you always use to the dock for easy access

I can totally agree with all the experiences you told. I love both OS. Each has its positive and negative sides. But since I have the MBA M1 I never again have used my Lenovo T470 (which is still pretty good und running fast as hell - for a standard Win 10 Laptop). Sometimes the file Organisation on Mac drives me crazy, but most of the time I work a lot faster with Mac than with Win.

A big point to highlight. As a developer you will have a nice time installing dependencies. You also have a native bash/zsh shell, as opposed to powershell. It’s as close as you can get to a linux box without running linux, wsl aside.

CMD + Shift + 5 on your keyboard brings up the screen clip feature. You have a plethora of options for how you want your clips to be stored i.e. clipboard, desktop, downloads, etc.

My first time on your channel and it's great! I like that you take the angle of a "daily user" :) I'm not a content provider so I don't care so much about Blender scores as much as I do about how a piece of tech is going to service me for work and my personal life.

10:58 You can move the dock to the left (or right) of your screen as well and you could also make it smaller and leaner (even have it auto-hide), more like a quick launch area and use spotlight search to get to other apps.

Great review! There are Excel shortcuts on Mac as well, it was originally written for MacOS in the 80s before it was released for Windows.

In the Finder, right click any portion of a path in the status bar to copy that part of the path (or the whole path). Go->Go to folder (shift-command-g) will let you paste a path. Nice being able to continue any portion of a path and paste it like that.

Best analysis ever. Honest and straight to the point

You can do Option + left or right to jump by words. You can also use Option + delete to delete by words. Also command + delete will delete by lane. And command + left or right to jump to either end and command + up or down does the same. We can push this further with Shift if you want to Select and jump by words or lanes or Select all the way up or down.
