Mac tips

Input
- add Chinese input: settings --> text input --> edit --> +
- change input method: control + space, or just globe
delete is like backspace in Windows, use globe + delete to delete backwards.
command is 90% like control in Windows!
- globe is at the position of Windows control, but it's more like Windows fn and has no use in most cases.
- remap globe and command: settings --> keyboard --> keyboard shortcuts --> modifier keys
- command + c/v for copy/paste, but control + c for interruption in shell.
command + space: spotlight search (useful to launch other apps)
3-finger-swipe-up: show all windows and change front app!
dock and application status
- a black dot underneath means running in background. It happens when you click left-top-"x". Use command + q to fully exit.
- left-top-“-” will minimize the window to the right part of the dock, this will put the app in hibernation. Don't use it, instead use 3-finger-swipe-up.
- dock can be hidden from settings.
finder
- cannot create a new file directly, instead open the corresponding app and save to file.
- turn on actual path: finder --> view --> show path bar
- show hidden files: command + shift + .
- command + x is not Cut, instead use command + c to Copy and command + shift + v to Move (instead of Paste).
- command + delete to delete a file (move to trash).
