Top OS X El Capitan Features Under The Hood

When we see for the first time OS X El Capitan does not have a ton of benchmarks, which means most of the cool stuff is under the hood. Let's look at some of the lesser known features.


Rename files in the context menu

If you are not a fan of "slow-click" on the name of a file rename, you can now do so by right clicking on a file and selecting "Rename the file."

Change App Store Password Settings

If you have a fairly secure configuration for your computer, you can now change the frequency setting and when you need to enter your password to download stuff from the Mac App Store, just as you can with iOS.

Copy the path to a file with a right-click

You can now copy full path of a file in the context menu. Just right-click the file, press the Option key, and you will see the option "Copy Path". If you use Terminal lot, it is extremely convenient.

Flight Tracker from anywhere in OS X

As in iOS, El Capitan now detects flight numbers. If she sees what he thinks is a steal in Mail, Notes, Messages, or almost anywhere else, it will show a box when you mouse over it. Click on it and you'll get the most current information on this flight.

Mail now supports tabs

If you are the kind of person who likes to write several emails at once then you are going to like this, new version of the mall El Capitan that a heck of a lot easier with tabs. You can now open new tabs for emails with Command+N just as you would with Web browsers, but it only works in full screen mode.

Swoipe to Delete emails in Mail

Swipe to delete email on iOS is one of those great little features that virtually all messaging applications used today. In El Capitan, you can do the same gesture with your trackpad.

Quickly add events to your Calendar from Mail

As with iOS 9, El Capitan now scans your email for data and indicators can add events and contacts from Mail directly to the calendar with a single click. When he sees a date in your email, you'll notice a little to add to your calendar if you want.

Display and hide the menu bar

Like the Dock, you can now easily show and hide the menu bar. Open System Preferences> General and select the "Automatically hide and show the menubar"

File Copy Resume Picks Up From Where You Left

In previous versions of Mac OS X, where a copy of the file was interrupted because you have lost your connection or your computer went to sleep, you would have to start over. Now it should automatically resume the copy process when you are back up and running.

AirPlay videos without fully sharing the screen

For some reason, the only way to AirPlay web videos on Safari before El Capitan was to share the entire screen of the browser. Now you can tap the AirPlay icon on a video in Safari and choose your device without showing everything else on your desktop.
