But to really enjoy your Mac, you need to get to know your Mac.

You Should Get to Know Your Mac
We’ve looked around, and we’ve found the hidden Mac features and things you didn’t know your Mac could do.
We encourage you to look into these features to make the most out of your experience with your Mac:
- Taking a Trimmed Screenshot
Sometimes, you do not need to take a screenshot of your entire screen. You may want to choose a portion of your screen and take a screenshot of this portion.
Keep Command, Shift, and 4 pressed together. This will create a screenshot cursor. All you have to do is click and drag the screenshot cursor over the area you wish to capture. Once you let go of the cursor, the screenshot will be taken and will be saved immediately to your desktop.
- Get That Dock Out of My Sight!
Okay, sometimes you need the dock out of the way. Instead of having to go to your System Preferences, all you have to down is press Command, Option, and D all at once. Your dock will immediately disappear.
