Thank you. I've always been a Windows fan, but I recently bought an m1 Macbook and am very impressed. Learning to use Mac has had its challenges so far, but the hardware of my Macbook has made it worth the switch. These shortcuts are super helpful. I had the fun of selecting "info" for 400+ files that I had selected in a picture folder. THAT was fun.

I've been using Mac OS for years now, but some of these were still new to me! Thanks Sara, super useful!

Cmd+x doesn’t cut the file on Mac. You do cmd+c and cmd+option+v to move the file Shift+cmd+5 gives record screen / record section of screen

Thank you so much for such an amazing and wonderful video❤. I recently started using Mac OS and was very confused about everything but you made it like a piece of cake for me. Your way of explanation is amazing 🤩.

I started enjoying MacOS so much more when I stopped trying to turn it into Windows. However, this MacBook Pro I purchased in October is the first Mac I've owned since 2008. Things have become a lot more unified since then.

Exactly! completely agree with this. I use windows, mac and various linuxes over the years. And i learned that it would be the most beneficial for me if i do windows the windows way, mac/apple the mac/apple way and linux the linux way. Plus, having those "additional/extra/3rd parties" background apps will reserve some of the memory as well.

Cmd+x does not cut in MacOS, but there is a way to cut and paste! To cut from one folder, you use the same Cmd+c to copy, but when you are pasting you have to use Cmd+Opt+v. This will paste the copy while removing from the original source (like Ctrl+x on windows)

You mentioned Shift-Command-3 and 4 for screenshots, but Shift-Command-5 brings up a nice toolbar that lets you choose between full-screen or a specific area for either a screenshot or screen recording, along with a few other options.

Thank you 🙏🏻 I’ve always wanted to switch but I was hesitant That was helpful . Great video as always 😘

Thanks! I've been on Windows all my life, and have never used a mac, UNTIL about 2 weeks ago and this was very helpful! MacOS kinda didn't click for me until I watched a couple of "switching to mac" tutorials.

Thank you for the really basic stuff, been on windows since forever and now thinking to join mac. This video was really helpful

I use my mac all the time but just never took the time to learn many keyboard shortcuts. this video showed many cool ones that I will start using

This has been great. My biggest pain point you provided the answer to, the forward delete… you’re a godsend!

wow you literally made this the same day i went and switched over! (yesterday) exactly what i needed!

This was so helpful Sarah!!! Thank you for making this video!

Good stuff! Ran through it a bit fast but that's okay, no problem for me to replay/rewind and take notes along the way. Been living in the Windows world for a very long time and just went back to Apple with a MacBook Pro. When I say 'went back,' that means after several decades. My very first computer was an Apple IIe in 1986 so I had some major catching up to do!

Great video! I needed something like this for sure after recently switching over from Windows. I'm actually really liking MacOS much more, but it's definitely a big change! I've been making sure I learn it all instead of changing it more like windows as I want to get used to something else. One thing I did do though was get that magnet app for snapping because I believe it's something that's absolutely needed.

More Sara, YESSSSS! No plans on switching to Mac (for now..) but will thoroughly enjoy this regardless!

I have almost seen all shifting from windows videos. They were saying you can never cut and paste. But @Sara this is the only video that stated every single thing that all other videos were missing. Your video is really impressive and you have done an excellent work. Thank you

I've had a Mac since 2017 and I am still struggling so much with some of the shortcuts and stuff. I haven't touched a Windows computer since I got my Mac, but it's still stuck in my head how a Windows laptop works. Thanks for the help!

THANK YOU!!! Literally perfect timing as I'm about to switch to a MacBook (mostly because I'd much rather buy Final Cut once than pay for Adobe Premiere Pro forever and my current laptop isn't powerful enough to run it anyway) but I've been a little concerned about how significant the difference might be.

For screenshots to clipboard, if you also hold “CTRL”, it will save to clipboard instead of desktop. (SHIFT+CMD+CTRL+3 or 4)

Amazing video. Loved the simplicity and precision!

As for copying the path of a file/folder - there is a quicker way, just select the file and press option+cmnd+c and boom, the path is in your clipboard :)

Loved the kitty just walking around. Too funny. Hopefully this will help me when I finally switch to max! Thank you!

Very helpful thanks!!!!

Very helpful, thank you. I bought my first Mac about a year ago but pretty immediately chickened out and just used Windows on bootcamp most of the time. Trying to go full MacOS now...

I’ve been using Mac for 3 years and every time I watch one of these videos I learn a life changing keyboard shortcut, going to go and use command Q all day

I literally just switched to a Mac mini yesterday, so this is perfect timing. I had a first gen MacBook Air (2008) but that broke many years ago. Other than that, I've been using Windows my whole life. My main challenge right now is that I'm using a Windows keyboard with no Mac labels, so I can't use keyboard shortcuts at all because I have no idea which modifier keys in Windows (Ctrl, Win, Alt) correspond to which ones on Mac (Ctrl, Opt, Cmd).

On newer Macs, except the ones with Touch Bar, Spotlight is just one key... F4. And beside it is Dictation, which is also great.

Thanks, really enjoyed and learned alot.😬

This is the year that I’m getting into the macOS operating for the first time in my life. Yes, I will get a Mac computer before the year is over. The reason I’m getting one is because of the Final Cut Pro editing program and all my devices are Apple except my Windows laptop.
