You will hardly resist these 7 cool features of Mac
Mac computers are always full of unexpected and useful features, and it takes years for you to know them all. Here are 7 cool features that come from Apple's computer operating system.
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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
