macOS

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS

OS X File System

Home directory

/Users/USERNAME

Where is the terminal

Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.

Hardware

Touchpad

Need to press a little bit (instead of touch) for the left-click effect.

The right click is called secondary click in OS X. By default it is click with two fingers. We can change the setting by going to System Preferences/Touchpad/Secondary click.

Scroll: two fingers move up/down. The direction is like moving a paper; i.e. scrolling up will gradually show the next part of the content.

Zoom in/out: pinch with two fingers.

Smart zoom: double-tap with two fingers.

CPU information

sysctl -n machdep.cpu.brand_string

My macbook Pro 2015 shows i7-4980HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz.

Finder - file manager
