Brilliant! I love the tip about stripping the dock down to just what’s running. In tandem with a tiling window manager, that feels like the best way to put focus and efficiency first (at least in my workflow). Thank you for your work!

Hey dude, Just want to say - I'm so glad you're back and making videos. I always loved your videos, so it's great to have you back at it! I love videos like this. Have you got a place where people can make suggestions for what you could make videos about? Or a list we could vote on?

So helpful!!! I’m brand new into macOS so this is a perfectly timed video! I especially like how you show command-line commands to change the defaults (I’m a command-line kind of girl :-) ) Thanks again, and so good to have you back !

When reverting defaults back to their original behavior, it’s safer and smarter to delete the setting with `defaults delete com.apple.dock static-only` than setting the opposite boolean value. The reason it’s safer & smarter is that it ensures the app or service (e.g. Dock) will default to its internal stock value for that setting, no exceptions. All macOS defaults are designed this way- you can delete your ~/Library/Preferences/ dir and all macOS-native apps will go back to fresh-install settings, and deleting a single default entry by-design resets it back to a fresh-install state. Also, some defaults aren’t booleans, they’re integers or strings, so the stock value may not be apparent. All of this is safer because extra settings in defaults/preference-plists can lead to system rot over years, as software is updated. There’s a lot of complicated reasons why, but a simple example is when macOS & apps are updated their behavior may change and the stock value may change, or even may change type (e.g. Apple could change static-only to be a string with values “forced”, “mixed”, and “none”). Also sometimes the setting becomes irrelevant with an update, but unfortunately not all of the code paths using that setting are fixed & tested fully, and any value could lead to buggy or crashing behavior. So again, if you delete that default setting outright, you’re putting the app in charge of that setting, either fully internally or sometimes the app will repopulate the value in defaults with what it wants.

For the tab switching, you could maybe use some utility to intercept the command+tab and emit command+tab plus a command+option+H (I think that’s hide others). Or just do the command option H yourself idk

hi @Tech Craft. Really love your chanel's content. But only one problem with me is your audio is not consistent in the volumn level. This video is very low in volumn, while other video is loud and clear. I am using Macbook Air M1 with no headphone. Pretty much this audio control a little bit more will make your chanel really shine. Good day!

Hi. I also hide the dock, but what drives me crazy is the delay. For one, the delay for the mouse to trigger the dock appearing and for another the animation delay for the dock to appear. I remedy both delays with the following commands: defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -int 0;killall Dock defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0; killall Dock Thanks again for this video and the productive content of your videos.

Completely agree, I'm new Mac user and I had no idea that it can even be changed, and I was like "OK, that's how my life is going to be from now on" If you make maybe more Mac-beginner friendly, I'd personally appreciate a lot (I've been using for quite a few years)

If you want to only see one active app at a time why wouldn't you maximize both (all) your open apps then use Alt+Tab to switch? Also Workspaces.
