Windows User Goes Mac on Mashable

As a person farting with Windows more nowadays out of interest than necessity, I greatly enjoyed this article on Mashable. There are some basics that Kimberly Gedeon gets wrong, only out of being a Mac newbie:

Snap Layouts

As someone who often works with several different apps simultaneously, having the ability to snap Windows into certain quadrants of the screen is incredibly helpful. I’d love to have Slack snapped to one side of the screen, Gmail attached to the top right, and Google Docs positioned on the bottom right. Sadly, macOS doesn’t have this feature.

This is both true and false at the same time: macOS doesn’t have an exact copy of Windows Snap, but there is an affordance in the windows controls on the Mac. Excellent third-party options exist, like Mosaic and BetterSnapTool (which is no emollient if you are allergic to paying for software). If you are more techie, there’s always Keyboard Maestro.

macOS does Snap layouts... kinda

I don’t get the gripe about having to tap the spacebar to pull up a preview of a file or photo in Finder.
