Amaya Toman Gestures
If you have a Mac with a trackpad or a Magic Mouse, you'll definitely find it useful to know useful gestures that can make your work easier and more efficient. Which ones are they?
- Scroll up/down with two fingers on the trackpad (one finger is enough on the Magic Mouse).
- Three-finger swipe left/right on the trackpad to switch between full-screen apps (two fingers are enough on the Magic Mouse).
- Pinch or spread three fingers and a thumb on the trackpad to launch the Launchpad (this gesture does not exist for the Magic Mouse).
- A three-finger swipe up or down on the trackpad activates Mission Control (with a Magic Mouse, you toggle with a two-finger tap).
- A two-finger swipe from the right edge of the trackpad to the left launches the Notification Center (this gesture does not exist on the Magic Mouse).

Customizing the Dock
At the bottom of your Mac's screen, you'll find the Dock—a useful bar that houses application icons, the trash icon, and other items. With the Dock, you can easily change its position, size, behavior or what items it will contain. To customize the Dock, click in the upper-left corner of your Mac screen menu -> System Settings -> Desktop and Dock, head to the main settings window and customize everything you need.

Launchpad
Launchpad is also part of the operating system. It is a screen that in a way resembles the desktop of iOS and iPadOS devices. Here you will find clearly arranged icons of all the applications you have on your Mac. To activate Launchpad, you can either press the F4 key, perform a three-finger and thumb pinch gesture on the trackpad, or use the Cmd + Spacebar shortcut to activate Spotlight and enter Launchpad in the corresponding field.

Profiles in Safari
If you plan to use your new Mac for both work and study or entertainment, you can also customize the profiles in the Safari web browser. This means that you can, for example, create a profile intended for work, in which you set specific parameters, and another for fun. To set up profiles, launch Safari on your Mac, click on the bar at the top of the screen Safari -> Settings, and click the tab at the top of the settings window Profiles.
