      QuickTime’s “quasi” video editor. If you drag a video file from finder to a video opened in QT player, you can stitch them together. No limit to how many videos you do this with. I found it out by accident… 😅

      the small increment volume tip also works for the brightness. You can small increment the luminosity.

      @@BrandonButch I have missed your latest videos because of the TH-cam change eliminating the sort subscriptions A-Z on YT app for TV. From my research it’s only affecting those who watch on TVs. Their recent change to the tv app sorting by “Relevant” is horrible. Their relevant makes zero sense. It’s not most watched, not newest… just some totally random sort. Mac, iPad, iPhone apps as well as thru Safari still have the option for A-Z but on Roku YT app… it’s gone. Maybe let your contact with YT know this could lead to fewer views… I can’t believe they did this.

    This is amazing information. Having used a Mac for over 10 years there is still so much to learn. But there is so much complexity on holding down all sorts of keys, and having to remember what combination of keys does what. Unless one is a full time professional user, how do people remember more than the odd one or two commands? Fascinating video. Thank you.

    one of my absolute FAV shortcuts for YT is hitting 1-9 to go 10-90% of the video, and 0 takes you to the beginning. i use this the most when I'm on say, 15+ min videos to decide if I want to actually take the time to sit down and watch it. great way to get a 'real feel' for some content before committing to it, YT is soo full of garbage these days with diabolical editing, utilizing 1-9 is a quick way to get premise of a video before committing to it
    great vid! good reminder for some things I forgot about and others I had no idea, thanks m8!

    Woo just learned the most useful tip : Command + Arrow down it gets your directly to the end of the text… that’s the magic trick I needed so much, finally no more need to scroll non stop down to reach the end of a long text/doc/notes. That will save me so much time. When you work on multiples long text files at that same time because on Notes if I go from one file to the other it never saves that I was at the bottom just before on the previous file… it always reopen a note file at the top. 😮 🎉Thanks.

    Very small nitpick - "Hide" applies to an application, not a window - so by pressing Cmd-H you hide every window of that application.

    Man, I thought I've seen all the `shortcuts` videos, but even I learned a few: I didn't know about the double-right click for the picture'n'picture for videos (even works for other browsers that are not Safari) & pinning applications/folders to the top of Finder -- those stood out to me here so far.

    Thanks for these great tips. I found several new ones that I didn't know about. As an added (bonus) tip to your segment on re-sizing/positioning windows, instead of clicking on the menu "Windows" and then clicking "move and resize", you can just hover the mouse over the green control button in the upper left of the window and will be offered the same settings.

    Thanks a lot! Just subbed! :) I have a question about Safari & TH-cam. When I watch media on Safari, Apple's "Now Playing" on menu bar gives me the option 10 seconds forward/rewind. This is very hand as I've assigned a keybind to watch tutorials and work at the same time. However, when I switch to other browsers, this is not possible. I only get Previous/Next. Is there a way to change this or a third party software? Or is it just Apple and Safari's API and won't work with other browsers?

    Brandon, I have been a Mac user for a very long time and I am also a subscriber. I was really skeptical on the unfortunately click-baity title as it’s come to be, and your first couple lines sounded like the same “everybody knows this stuff” videos others have complained about in the comments. When you said give me an upvote if one of these tips was something you didn’t know yet (paraphrasing), I said out loud “bet homie, but if there isn’t this video gets a downvote”.
    Wasn’t trying to be negative toward you, but I’d seen so many of these videos that were worthless before that it just elicited an eye roll. Tip number fucking one was something I’d never seen before. There were at least ten others I’d not known, or were at least such a minor inconvenience to actually learn how to do better that I’d not taken the time to research. Thank you so much for consistently delivering great content.
