When you begin to use a MacBook for work, one of the first confusing tasks would be to Select All On Mac.
Working with a top class model like a Macbook is super fun, but sometimes we get confused about how a few simple tasks might seem so tough. Take an example of a screenshot. When you want to take a screenshot of the screen in a Windows Computer, the method is really simple. You just have to press the “PrtSc” key and the screenshot is captured. But it is quite different in the Mac computer. You have designated the snipping tool in the Mac to do the task.
