Using Stage Manager with macOS

Stage Manager divided opinion when it first arrived in macOS Ventura. In fact, I didn’t even touch it until a month ago when I figured it was time to give it a chance and see how it worked. After all, maybe, just maybe, it was something I could make use of?

I was surprised. When chairing meetings, I actually found it really fluid, being able to hop between dedicated layouts of apps when screen sharing, so I figured I’d create a quick video to show how it works.

Finding Emoji with Alfred

Ever get frustrated with trying to remember the shortcuts to type certain emojis? Does remembering Control + Command + Space to load the Emoji Picker on macOS get frustrating when it’s similar to other shortcuts you use more often?

Well if you use Alfred, there is a workflow you can download and install to solve this problem for you. Once installed, simply type emoji plus the name of the emoji you want, and Alfred will return the result, ready for you to paste into your application.

Here is a very short video showing you how to use it.
