A work around for the vo shift m issue in the doc

Can’t say if this works or not, but someone mentioned to me that if you hold down the control key, and push on your trackpad on a MacBook Air, or pro, that the context menu will show. Again, can’t verify this, because I have a Mac mini with no trackpad. Hth New to the Mac, transitioning fro

It's so much more than just a text editor. Here's the user guide for it. Once you get into using it, you'll probably want it on your Dock where it's handy. On 2/1/2021 10:43 AM, 'Nancy Badger' via MacVisionaries wrote: Text Edit is a mac a

Toggling dark mode

Hi all, I’ve been Googling this morning and have found two ways to toggle dark/light mode. One is creating an apple script, the other is creating a workflow and saving it as an app. The workflow as an app was super simple, but now I’m not sure if there is a way to use a global keyboard shortcut

Hello, I believe the default is to save in your iCloud/TextEdit folder, but once changed it should stay in the new place. Also note that Apple Applications default to saving without an explicit save, for example right now I have about 5 untitled txt files in my TextEdit folder. If you need more
