Jiří Filip Single application mode
For better concentration when working on a Mac, the so-called single application mode can help you. Of course, it is possible to just use the active work application in full screen view, but if you use the keyboard shortcut Option (Alt) + Cmd + H, you can quickly and easily hide all applications except the one you are currently using. Use the keyboard shortcut Option (Alt) + Cmd + M to exit this mode.
