Daily Trick 10. Show Only One
Advertisements
It's good that we can open many applications at once, without any hesitation, using our Mac. The bad thing is, more often than not, we will get distracted if we open more than one applications at the same time.
Perhaps, some people will suggest using Isolator or Think. But for you (and me) that are often lazy to download additional applications, there is still a way out.
You can press Cmd-Opt-H to hide all other applications.
Or you can also hold modifier keys Cmd-Opt while clicking on the Dock icon.
Either one will result in showing only one application and hide others.
Personally for me, I seldom use Dock-clicking, usually I will just combine Cmd-Tab with Cmd-Opt-H. I am addicted to Mac keyboard shortcuts, I admit it!

This is good for jumping around applications, but how do you launch your apps?

actually i'm doing this for a long time but hitting OPT and click the desktop will hide all applications. but this one is great, hiding others would give you focus on 1 app. Thanks
