How I Use: Search in Mail on macOS →

Lee Garrett, writing for MyProductiveMac:

You aren’t limited to one search term. Once you’ve clicked on your first search element, continue typing and another list of potential search criteria will appear below. Click again, rinse, repeat as often as necessary.

Search in Mail on macOS has always been a bit of a chore to me. If you want to up your game in Mail, there are several good tips in this post. In addition to the one above, the post covers the use of natural language, boolean operators, and saved searches.

The drawback of infinite scroll on web pages is it eliminates any sense of accomplishment at reaching the bottom.

macOS: Put the iCloud Drive Icon on Your Dock →


Andrew Orr, writing for The Mac Observer:

There is a hidden directory inside of macOS that contains the app icons for built-in services like iCloud Drive. You probably wouldn’t know they are there because you’ll have to enter a specific file path in order to access them. Here’s how to put the iCloud Drive Icon on your dock for easy access to Apple’s cloud storage.

I’ve been moving more and more of my storage into iCloud Drive, so I wanted to make it more easily accessible. I found this post from last year when searching for a way to access iCloud Drive from my menu bar. Putting it in the dock will have to do for now, although the icon isn’t interactive and only acts as a shortcut to open the iCloud Drive folder in Finder.

If you’re in the Finder, the Command-Shift-I keyboard shortcut will open the iCloud Drive folder as well. I can see myself cooking up a Keyboard Maestro macro to create a system-wide shortcut.

Amazing how much work you can get done on an iPad when you force yourself not to touch your Mac.

So do you rip a hole in the space time continuum if you plug a Wemo smart hub into a regular light timer to fix disconnect issues? Asking for a friend.
