—in my testing, each app seemed to have its own private secondary clipboard.
However, the only way to find out for sure is to give it a try!
Tip 12
Correct Misspellings or Typos Without the Mouse
Although in many OS X apps you can right-click a misspelled or mistyped
word to see suggested replacements (that is, words that are underlined in red
or blue), you can also simply move the cursor to the end of the word using
the cursor keys and then wait a second until a list of suggested replacements
appears beneath. Hit the Down cursor key and then the Left/Right cursor
keys to select a replacement, before hitting
RETURN
to select the one you're
happy with (or hit
ESC
to quit the replacements menu). If no list appears, it's
probably the case that OS X has no suggestions for that particular misspelling
or typo.
Tip 13
Create iCloud Folders
Here's a tip that will be obvious to anybody who owns an iPad or iPhone but
possibly a revelation to anybody else.
Apps that let you save files within iCloud, such as TextEdit and Preview, allow
you to create folders within iCloud to help organize documents. But there's
no New Folder button. Instead, you can create a new folder by dropping one
file on top of another (provided either file isn't locked). You'll immediately be
prompted to enter a name for the new folder. Simple!
You can add new items to the folder by dragging and dropping them on top,
just like in Finder. Note that you can also elastic-band select many files at
once.
To delete the folder, you'll need to empty it of all its contents by either dragging
the files out or deleting them. Then the folder will vanish.
