# macOS system settings

settings for manual configuration in macOS system settings app

**NOTE:** some of these could be scripted, but for now i'm okay with this manual list

- desktop & dock
    - `click wallpaper to reveal desktop`: set to "only in stage manager"
    - all `drag windows to corner/edge/place` types of options: disabled
    - `rearrange spaces based on recent use`: disabled
    - `when switch to app... switch to space with open windows of app`: disabled
    - `displays have separate spaces`: disabled
    - `show files on desktop`: enabled
    - `group windows by application`: enabled
    - smallest possible dock size
    - dock on right side of screen
    - automatically hide and show the dock: enabled
- accessibility
    - display
        - reduce motion: enabled
        - reduce transparency: enabled
- keyboard
    - keyboard shortcuts
        - screenshots
            - save picture of selected area -> `cmd+shft+s`
            - copy (clipboard) picture of selected area -> `ctrl+cmd+shft+s`
        - modifier keys
            - caps lock key -> `escape`
            - command -> `control`
            - alt/option -> `command`
            - control -> `alt/option`
        - spotlight
            - show spotlight search -> `alt+r`

and in general, just go through most pages/options and set them as desired
