I mean, you can still see the battery icon to check if your laptop is charging or not, but whatever. To be honest, this is more of a gimmick but it could be useful if the light on your MagSafe connector has gone bad, and doesn’t work. Play iOS Charging Sound When MagSafe is Connected This command will save me countless hours of converting screenshots to JPEGs and then uploading them on the website.ģ0. This caused a major difficulty: I had to export every screenshot to a JPEG format before I could use it on the website. However, it also caused me to look for a solution, and it turns out, the solution is a command and a simple one at that.ĭefaults write type 'jpg' Here, at Beebom, we use JPEG screenshots throughout the website Macs take screenshots in PNG, by default. This will take a screenshot after 3 seconds, and save it as “delayedpic.jpg” on your computer. Screencapture -T 3 -t jpg -P delayedpic.jpg Sure, on an iPhone long pressing leads to accented characters, but should it really be that way on a laptop? I don’t think so. Some might find that useful, I find it unimportant. Long pressing a key comes up with a menu for accented characters. The problem, simply, is that the keyboard on Mac behaves like one would expect the keyboard for a mobile device to behave. Disable the Default Long Press Action for KeysĮveryone of us has gone crazy at times and wanted to type messages that use unnecessary repeated letters like “hiiiiiiii”, or “yayyyy”.
