After many years of gradual settings, SpotLight occupies the central place in the MacOS Tahoe 26, that Apple causes the largest update. That's all that is new. Faster, more relevant Spotlight
Spotlight now seeks to become the fastest way to view and interact with content on your Mac. He uses intelligence at a distance for the surface of the most relevant files, applications, labels and actions based on your context. This includes a recent lesson, daily procedures, labels and even what is in your exchange buffer. Supporting the actions of the system and applications directly from Spotlight. This Means You can quickly do Things Like:
- Create a Calendar Event
- Send an email or message
- Start a timer or voice Memo
- play a podcast
- run shortcuts
- trigger app -spicific commands, including menu bar items
Everything without leaving the keyboard or switching applications. Actions have a context, and many offer parameters directly in the SPOTLIGHT user interface, so users can fill out the line of the topic, recipient or text of the reminder without the need to open the full application. Keys, short lines of characters that serve as key combinations for frequent actions. For example, the SM type can send a message while AR adds a reminder.
According to Apple, these quick keys are generated automatically on the basis of your use. This is a new layer of muscle memory for users of Spotlight Power, and one that carefully repeats the functions in third -party launchers, such as Alfred. During the demonstration, Apple used Headspace as an example of an exclusive iPhone application, which can be launched and controlled directly from the spotlight on MacOS. Users can now look for and view previously copied elements. This includes text, links and images, with a visual pre -viewing column on the left side of the searchlight window and in a simple way to check from which application or context a specific content was copied. Integration with Apple labels and intelligence. In the demonstration of WWDC, Apple showed how the user can launch the user shortcut “Create Slogal” from Spotlight, automatically transmitting content from the exchange buffer and receiving ai-exteenated proposals in return. Was the demonstration enough to make you think about migration from a third -party application? Let us know in the comments.
