I think the big things are getting used to CMD+Space for opening applications and search, and getting used to the fact that you have an actual terminal instead of a command window.
Also, after getting used to the whole spotlight thing, I strongly recommend getting Raycast, or maybe other alternative, but Raycast is my favourite.
It has a lot of customisation options, including plugins, and really neat clipboard history. This will absolutely make you more productive.
Have you tried Alfred? If so, why do you like Raycast more?
I did, and to me, it just feels rough and not as intuitive. I didn’t like the design, and I hated the icon on the right side. Just didn’t fit into the Apple ui.
ill look into it! i did some googling im not exactly sure what it is still but people keep saying its life changing
It has a learning curve… but it’s awesome. Replaces spotlight and does so much. I use a plug-in that allows direct search of my Arc web browser and/or arc open tabs. Awesome to jump straight to a specific tab from anywhere on computer. Also… highly recommend Arc browser.. built on chrome so super compatible… but revamps and modernizes the ui… adds spaces which are awesome
im a firefox user at my core because of ublock but ill take a gander at arc and its adblocking
It’s based on chrome, simply install ublock extension
CMD-Space then type the first few letters of the app you want to launch and press enter. My all time favorite key combo.
i did actually find this command in the settings its v good
