7 items · Updated Oct 9
Start by optimizing small tasks you repeat every day: opening apps, switching windows, entering frequently used text, and annotating screenshots. Configure keyboard and mouse tools one item at a time, then add more rules once you’ve settled into a routine.
- Use shortcuts to launch apps, search, and perform common actions.
- Use window previews to quickly switch between app windows.
- Remap keys to configure shortcuts that suit your keyboard habits.
- Adjust mouse scrolling and pointer behavior to make your external mouse easier to use.
- Set up abbreviations for frequently used text to reduce repetitive typing.
- Quickly add annotations after taking a screenshot to explain issues and share details.
- View your monthly calendar and schedule from the menu bar to open the full calendar less often.
