This guide provides a practical overview of You Will Hardly Resist These 7 Cool Features of Mac, including its main features, benefits, limitations, and important considerations.

All emoji

Macs have their own emoji keyboard, just like on phones. However, to open that keyboard is not simply pressing a certain key.

It must be a keystroke combination but once used, sending emojis from a Mac is extremely easy and convenient.

Please pressing Control + Command + Spacebar , a second later, a full emoji keyboard appears accompanied by a search bar.

Switch to Dark Mode on Mac

In fact, Apple has added Dark Mode to the Mac since before iPhone and iPad. When Dark Mode is turned on, all applications that support this feature will change from bright white to dark colors, making it easier for your eyes to see at night.

To use Dark Mode, open System Preferences and select General . Right corner of the screen will have three options: Light, Dark. Select Light if you want to change it to Light Mode again.

The screen automatically changes

Instead of looking back and forth on a desktop, use one of Dynamic Desktop images.

Open System Preferences and select Desktop & Screen Saver and then select one of the three images in the Dynamic Desktop section.

These wallpapers will change throughout the day, using your location to determine the time of day. For example, the image of the island will gradually shift from dawn, afternoon, sunset and then evening, slowly changing with your working time. This is an extremely creative way to keep you from getting bored.

Screen capture is easier

Screen capture is easily done through familiar keystrokes, all starting with Command + Shift and adding a number. For example, Command + Shift + 3 to capture full screen, Command + Shift + 4 to capture any part of screen you want by hover.

But the star here is a combination of Command + Shift + 5 . Press this combination on the Mac keyboard and a small toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen, helping you adjust the image to capture. You can rotate the screen as well as choose a location to save the file with this key combination.

Sign the document

Instead of using an external application to sign a document, Preview is built into your Mac to help you do just that. TipsMake has an article on how to create a signature on a Mac through the Preview application.

Rename multiple files at once

Have you ever had to rename multiple files and it was hard to manually change them one by one? Open the folder containing your files, then select all files to be renamed. The fastest way is to click on the first file, hold Shift until the last file is selected.

Right-click on the selected file and press Rename x Files . Fill in the information you want to use, use the menu below to select the settings, then press Rename when done.

Use iPad as the second screen

Last year, Apple introduced Sidecar, a feature that helps turn your iPad into a Mac's second wireless display. To use Sidecar, you must purchase an external application or use a wire.

Your Mac must have macOS Catalina and iPad OS 13 to use this calculation.

When you have your elements ready, select the AirPlay icon in the top toolbar and choose to connect to your iPad. The iPad will then become your second monitor, and you can use it in any way that other screens can.
