The following 15 settings focus on improving keyboard input, Dock responsiveness, screenshot management, Finder navigation, and the environment for long-running tasks.\n\nSome values changed with `defaults` are internal preference keys rather than options officially provided by Apple in System Settings. Because their behavior or key names may change after a macOS update, it is safest to apply only the settings you need and keep the restoration commands as well.\n\n## Things to Check Before Starting\n\n1. **Open Terminal:** In Finder, launch `Applications \u003e Utilities \u003e Terminal`.\n2. **Run one line at a time:** Do not paste multiple commands at once; run each command and check the result.\n3. **Quit the app:** If the target app is running, it may save its existing preferences again. If possible, quit the app before making changes.\n4. **Administrator privileges are generally unnecessary:** The settings below apply to the current user account, so most do not require `sudo`.\n5. **Understand what will restart:** `killall Finder` and `killall Dock` terminate those processes, but macOS immediately launches them again. The state of open Finder windows may change.\n\nTo check the current values first, use the following format.\n\n```bash\ndefaults read NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat\ndefaults read com.apple.finder FXDefaultSearchScope\n```\n\nIf you see a message saying that the value does not exist, the key may not yet have been explicitly set.\n\n## Keyboard Input Settings\n\n### 1. Change Press-and-Hold for Letters to Key Repeat\n\nBy default, pressing and holding certain letters in macOS displays a menu for selecting accented characters. Disabling this behavior makes the same character repeat while the key is held down.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write NSGlobalDomain ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false\n```\n\nAfter making the change, completely quit and relaunch the app you are using. Depending on the app, you may need to log out or restart.\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete NSGlobalDomain ApplePressAndHoldEnabled\n```\n\nDisabling this setting makes it difficult to use the accented-character selection menu, so users who type in multiple languages should first confirm that their keyboard shortcuts or input sources are sufficient.\n\n### 2. Shorten the Key Repeat Interval and Initial Repeat Delay\n\n`KeyRepeat` represents the interval between repeated inputs, while `InitialKeyRepeat` represents the delay between the initial keypress and the start of repetition. Lower values are faster.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 1\ndefaults write NSGlobalDomain InitialKeyRepeat -int 10\n```\n\nIf the settings are too fast, characters may be entered multiple times unintentionally. You can start by setting `KeyRepeat` to 2 and `InitialKeyRepeat` to around 15, then adjust them. You may need to log out or restart your Mac for the changes to take effect.\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat\ndefaults delete NSGlobalDomain InitialKeyRepeat\n```\n\n### 3. Disable Automatic Smart Quote Substitution\n\nIn code, JSON, commands, and configuration files, straight quotes and curly smart quotes are treated as different characters. Run the following command to disable automatic substitution globally.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticQuoteSubstitutionEnabled -bool false\n```\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticQuoteSubstitutionEnabled\n```\n\nSome editors and word processors use their own input settings, so you may also need to disable the smart quotes option within the app.\n\n## Adjusting Dock Responsiveness\n\n### 4. Remove the Dock Auto-Show Delay and Animation\n\nFirst, press `Option + Command + D` to enable automatic Dock hiding. Then set both the delay before the Dock appears when you move the pointer to the edge of the screen and the duration of the Dock animation to 0.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0\ndefaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0\nkillall Dock\n```\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-delay\ndefaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier\nkillall Dock\n```\n\nIf you want to retain the animation while only increasing its speed, you can use a value greater than 0, such as `0.15`, for `autohide-time-modifier`.\n\n## Reducing System Animations\n\n### 5. Disable Some Window Animations\n\nThe following global setting disables window opening and closing animations in apps that honor it.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool false\n```\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled\n```\n\nRecent macOS apps may ignore this internal setting, so the same result is not guaranteed for every window. To also use the official setting provided by Apple, enable `System Settings \u003e Accessibility \u003e Display \u003e Reduce motion`. Reduce Motion simplifies screen transition effects rather than eliminating animations entirely.\n\n## Screenshot Settings\n\n### 6. Remove Shadows from Window Screenshots\n\nThis excludes the shadow around a window when capturing it by pressing `Shift + Command + 4`, then `Space`, and selecting the window.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true\nkillall SystemUIServer\n```\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow\nkillall SystemUIServer\n```\n\n### 7. Disable the Preview Thumbnail After Capturing\n\nThis disables the small preview that appears in the lower-right corner of the screen immediately after taking a screenshot.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.screencapture show-thumbnail -bool false\nkillall SystemUIServer\n```\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete com.apple.screencapture show-thumbnail\nkillall SystemUIServer\n```\n\nYou can also enable or disable the preview under `Shift + Command + 5 \u003e Options \u003e Show Floating Thumbnail`.\n\n### 8. Change the Screenshot Save Folder\n\nFirst, create a dedicated screenshot folder inside the Pictures folder and set it as the save location.\n\n```bash\nmkdir -p \"$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots\"\ndefaults write com.apple.screencapture location -string \"$HOME/Pictures/Screenshots\"\nkillall SystemUIServer\n```\n\nIf the path contains spaces, you must enclose it in double quotes. Deleting the folder or specifying a location you do not have permission to access may cause problems when saving captures.\n\nRestore to the default Desktop:\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.screencapture location -string \"$HOME/Desktop\"\nkillall SystemUIServer\n```\n\n## Finder Navigation Settings\n\n### 9. Display the Full Path in the Finder Title and Enable the Status Bar\n\nThis displays the full POSIX path of the current folder in the Finder window title and enables the status bar at the bottom of the window, which shows information such as the number of items and remaining space.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool true\ndefaults write com.apple.finder ShowStatusBar -bool true\nkillall Finder\n```\n\nIf you need the path bar itself, select `View \u003e Show Path Bar` from the Finder menu or press `Option + Command + P`. You can also toggle the status bar with `Command + /`.\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle\ndefaults delete com.apple.finder ShowStatusBar\nkillall Finder\n```\n\n### 10. Change the Default Finder Search Scope to the Current Folder\n\nThis makes Finder search the currently open folder first, rather than the entire Mac, when you enter a search term in the Finder search field.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.finder FXDefaultSearchScope -string \"SCcf\"\nkillall Finder\n```\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete com.apple.finder FXDefaultSearchScope\nkillall Finder\n```\n\nOn macOS versions that provide the same option in Finder settings, selecting the current-folder search option under `Finder \u003e Settings \u003e Advanced \u003e When performing a search` is more reliable.\n\n### 11. Display Folders at the Top When Sorting by Name\n\nThis makes folders appear before files when viewing files and folders sorted by name.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.finder _FXSortFoldersFirst -bool true\nkillall Finder\n```\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete com.apple.finder _FXSortFoldersFirst\nkillall Finder\n```\n\nThe result may vary depending on the sorting method and Finder view type. In recent versions of macOS, you can also use the option in Finder’s Advanced settings to keep folders on top.\n\n### 12. Disable the File Extension Change Warning\n\nThis disables the confirmation warning shown when changing a filename extension such as `.png`, `.txt`, or `.mp4`.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.finder FXEnableExtensionChangeWarning -bool false\nkillall Finder\n```\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete com.apple.finder FXEnableExtensionChangeWarning\nkillall Finder\n```\n\nRenaming an extension does not convert the actual file format. For example, simply renaming a PNG file to JPG leaves the internal data in PNG format, so you need an image editor or conversion tool to convert the format.\n\n## Finder and Desktop Hiding Features\n\n### 13. Add a Quit Menu Item to Finder\n\nThis adds a Quit item to the Finder menu.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem -bool true\nkillall Finder\n```\n\nWhen you quit Finder, Finder windows and desktop icons may disappear together. To reopen it, click Finder in the Dock or launch Finder from Spotlight.\n\nRestore:\n\n```bash\ndefaults delete com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem\nkillall Finder\n```\n\n### 14. Hide All File Icons on the Desktop\n\nYou can hide desktop items before a video conference or screen-sharing session.\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false\nkillall Finder\n```\n\nThis command does not delete or move any files. The files remain in place when you open the Desktop folder in Finder.\n\nShow them again:\n\n```bash\ndefaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true\nkillall Finder\n```\n\n## Preventing Mac Sleep\n\n### 15. Temporarily Prevent Sleep While Working\n\nRunning `caffeinate` in Terminal can prevent specified types of sleep while the process is running. For general long-running tasks, use the following command.\n\n```bash\ncaffeinate -i\n```\n\nTo stop it, press `Control + C` in that Terminal window. To prevent sleep only while a specific command is running, place it before the command.\n\n```bash\ncaffeinate -i your-command\n```\n\nThe main options are as follows.\n\n| Option | What It Prevents |\n|---|---|\n| `-i` | System sleep due to inactivity |\n| `-d` | Display sleep |\n| `-m` | Disk idle mode |\n| `-s` | System sleep while using AC power |\n| `-t seconds` | Runs for the specified duration |\n\nFor example, to prevent idle system sleep and display sleep for one hour, run the following.\n\n```bash\ncaffeinate -id -t 3600\n```\n\n`caffeinate` is not a way to always override a low battery, forced shutdown, user-initiated sleep, or closing a MacBook lid. When using a Mac like a server for long periods, you must separately plan for power connections, heat, battery condition, network recovery, and automatic startup after a restart.\n\n## What to Check When Settings Do Not Take Effect\n\n- Check whether the command’s double quotes were changed to smart quotes.\n- Restart Finder, Dock, SystemUIServer, or the target app.\n- Test input settings again after logging out or restarting.\n- On a Mac managed by a company or school, a configuration profile may overwrite user settings again.\n- If an app uses its own preferences, the global macOS settings may not apply.\n- Internal preference keys may stop working after a macOS update.\n\n## A Safe Approach to Reverting Settings\n\nThese commands can make the system feel faster, but they can also significantly change how you use it. Rather than applying all 15 at once, it is better to make changes by category, such as keyboard, Dock, or Finder, and use them for about a day.\n\n`defaults delete domain key` removes a value explicitly set by the user, allowing the app or macOS to select its default behavior again. However, if the screen does not change immediately after deletion, you may need to restart the related process or log out. In particular, automation scripts that depend on internal keys should be revalidated before upgrading macOS.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eMany macOS user settings can be fine-tuned with the \u003ccode\u003edefaults\u003c/code\u003e command in Terminal.

Adding sudo may apply the settings to an unintended user or system area, so it is best not to use it unless there is a specific reason to do so."},{"question":"Why don't the changes take effect immediately after running the defaults command?","answer":"The app or system process may be keeping the existing settings in memory. Relaunch Finder, Dock, SystemUIServer, or the target app, and for keyboard settings, check again after logging out or restarting."},{"question":"Can I reset all the settings at once?","answer":"Deleting all preferences for a specific app is not recommended because it may also remove other personal settings. It is safer to remove only the changed keys one at a time using the defaults delete command provided for each item."},{"question":"Why are characters still being automatically converted even after I turned off smart quotes?","answer":"Some word processors, note-taking apps, and editors use their own autocorrection features separately from the global macOS settings. You must also turn off smart quotes in the relevant app's input, autocorrection, or formatting settings."},{"question":"If I run caffeinate, will it keep working even when I close the MacBook lid?","answer":"Not always. caffeinate prevents the specified sleep conditions, but it does not override every situation, such as closing the lid, low battery, or shutdown. To operate with the lid closed, you must separately check conditions supported by macOS, such as an external display and power requirements."},{"question":"Could the commands stop working after a macOS update?","answer":"Yes. Although defaults itself is a macOS command, some Finder or Dock preference keys depend on internal implementations rather than a public user interface. After an update, you should check the current values and test each item again."},{"question":"Does hiding desktop icons delete the files?","answer":"No. It only prevents Finder from displaying desktop items; the files remain in the Desktop folder. Change the CreateDesktop value to true and relaunch Finder to display them again."}],"sources":[{"url":"https://support.apple.com/en-us/102646","title":"Take a screenshot on your Mac","type":"source"},{"url":"https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/defaults.1.html","title":"defaults(1) macOS manual page","type":"source"},{"url":"https://keith.github.io/xcode-man-pages/caffeinate.8.html","title":"caffeinate(8) macOS manual page","type":"source"}],"images":[{"id":695,"url":"https://injoys.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6ODcwNywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--885f826f2b962c2c3f546e61fd3ce811943c13f8/ai-81fb7d33.webp","is_representative":true,"generation_method":"ai_image","license":"ai_generated","mime_type":"image/webp","translations":{"ko":{"alt":"설정 패널과 파일 창이 열린 macOS 데스크톱 일러스트","caption":"macOS의 설정과 파일 관리를 간소화하는 작업 환경을 표현한 일러스트입니다.","description":null},"en":{"alt":"Illustration of a macOS desktop with settings panels and a file window","caption":"The illustration depicts a streamlined macOS workspace for managing settings and files.","description":null},"ja":{"alt":"設定パネルとファイルウィンドウを表示したmacOSデスクトップのイラスト","caption":"macOSの設定やファイル管理を効率化する作業環境を表しています。","description":null},"es":{"alt":"Ilustración de un escritorio macOS con paneles de ajustes y una ventana de archivos","caption":"La ilustración representa un entorno macOS optimizado para gestionar ajustes y archivos.","description":null},"id":{"alt":"Ilustrasi desktop macOS dengan panel pengaturan dan jendela berkas","caption":"Ilustrasi ini menggambarkan ruang kerja macOS untuk mengelola pengaturan dan berkas dengan efisien.","description":null},"pt":{"alt":"Ilustração de uma área de trabalho macOS com painéis de ajustes e janela de arquivos","caption":"A ilustração mostra um ambiente macOS otimizado para gerenciar ajustes e arquivos.","description":null},"zh-hant":{"alt":"顯示設定面板與檔案視窗的 macOS 桌面插圖","caption":"這幅插圖呈現用於高效管理設定與檔案的 macOS 工作環境。","description":null},"de":{"alt":"Illustration eines macOS-Schreibtischs mit Einstellungsfeldern und Dateifenster","caption":"Die Illustration zeigt eine optimierte macOS-Arbeitsumgebung zur Verwaltung von Einstellungen und Dateien.","description":null}}},{"id":696,"url":"https://injoys.com/rails/active_storage/blobs/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6ODcxMywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--b43009568fc902305c75556127df8e6250093e52/ai-6e8b7aa3.webp","is_representative":false,"generation_method":"ai_image","license":"ai_generated","mime_type":"image/webp","translations":{"ko":{"alt":"겹쳐진 창이 열린 데스크톱 Mac과 설정 토글, 폴더, 검색, 키보드 아이콘","caption":"macOS의 창, 파일, 검색, 설정을 효율화하는 기능을 시각화했다.","description":null},"en":{"alt":"Desktop Mac with layered windows, setting toggles, folders, search, and keyboard icons","caption":"The illustration highlights tools for streamlining windows, files, search, and settings in macOS.","description":null},"ja":{"alt":"重なったウインドウを表示するMacと設定スイッチ、フォルダ、検索、キーボードのアイコン","caption":"macOSのウインドウ、ファイル、検索、設定を効率化する機能を表している。","description":null},"es":{"alt":"Mac de escritorio con ventanas superpuestas, interruptores, carpetas, búsqueda y teclado","caption":"La ilustración representa herramientas para agilizar ventanas, archivos, búsquedas y ajustes en macOS.","description":null},"id":{"alt":"Mac desktop dengan jendela bertumpuk, sakelar pengaturan, folder, pencarian, dan papan ketik","caption":"Ilustrasi ini menampilkan alat untuk mempercepat pengelolaan jendela, berkas, pencarian, dan pengaturan macOS.","description":null},"pt":{"alt":"Mac de mesa com janelas sobrepostas, controles, pastas, busca e teclado","caption":"A ilustração destaca recursos para agilizar janelas, arquivos, buscas e ajustes no macOS.","description":null},"zh-hant":{"alt":"顯示多個重疊視窗的桌上型 Mac，周圍有設定開關、資料夾、搜尋與鍵盤圖示","caption":"插圖呈現可提升 macOS 視窗、檔案、搜尋與設定效率的功能。","description":null},"de":{"alt":"Desktop-Mac mit überlappenden Fenstern, Schaltern, Ordnern, Suche und Tastatur","caption":"Die Illustration zeigt Werkzeuge zur effizienteren Verwaltung von Fenstern, Dateien, Suche und Einstellungen in macOS.","description":null}}}],"published_at":"2026-08-17T04:56:19+09:00","updated_at":"2026-08-17T04:56:19+09:00","license":"cc_by","translation_status":"reviewed","available_locales":["ko","en","ja","es"],"data_locales":["ko","en","ja","es","id","pt","zh-hant","de"],"url":"https://injoys.com/en/articles/macos-terminal-commands-15-productivity-settings"}
