Apple should make that turned OFF as the system default. Often what Safari thinks is "Safe" isn't that safe at all.

Are these questions, or are you stating you know how to do this? Can you explain steps to execute these?
Thanks a lot from me too!
If you want it to appear in Quick Actions, no need to go through Export and following rules.
Just save the Quick Action
and it will appear automatically where it should, in Quick Actions , closer to reach and with less items than Services, at least for me. Mojave as well 🙂
Use Quick Action workflows on Mac
In Automator on Mac, you can create Quick Action workflows and make them available in Finder windows or in the Touch Bar.

Command + R will rotate any image or video you have selected on Finder 90 degrees at the time. This is a brilliant shortcut for rotating multiple images at a time if they somehow appear in the wrong orientation. As a photographer, I use this shortcut constantly!
I use Spotlight for all of these things. However, there seems to be a bug on Monterey since now you have to sometimes insert empty space between some calculations to make it all work. You can actually try this. For example, 3x3 works just fine, but if you put 3x12 it won't. Only once you put it "3x 12" you will get the sum which is a bit frustrating since we never had to insert a space there.
also command+space immediately gives you spotlight.

Same input to stop it...I tried it and I could not stop the recording
till I did Shift+⌘+5 again . No audio though
There is a stop button in the menu bar.
It records only video, no audio.
For those of you that like to use keyboard shortcuts, CheatSheet is a neat little utility that shows all available shortcuts for the program you are using. I sometimes forget about it but it can be really useful.

It would be nice if there were a way to maximize the screen without all of the weirdness that comes from "full screen" mode. I'd just like to able to have windows take up the whole usable space, but be able to CMD-tilde between screens, or drag something onto a maximized window (which AFAIK you can't do with full screen).

There are probably ways to do that involving double clicking on the window titlebar, but I just a third-party window manager that gives me more control over windows that Mac OS does out of the box. I do wish they would enhance that aspect of the OS.
Shouldn’t that be Cmd + instead of Ctrl?
Cmd+shift+Z = redo previous command
Also Cmd + shift + left/right keys = cycle through Safari Tabs.

By pressing certain key combinations, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device.
This is amazing, Automator really needs to be put more in the spotlight. Unfortunately, I tried to make a similar workflow to open images in an app called ExifCleaner but it didn't work. The actual quick action is not showing up in service menu or quick actions although I did install it.
That's a good idea to automate removing EXIF. I need to do that, but I would not download an app. Here's how I do it:
- open your image in Preview
- select all
- copy
- command - n
- save (watch file size - may need to switch from jpeg to png back to jpeg to get file size down)
That will give you a duplicate of your original without the camera/device EXIF.
thats a nice work around, but I believe ExifCleaner is open source so no worries about privacy but I still fail to make it a service or quick actions item
It seems like something that could be easily done, I just don't know how to do it. Automator will open the image in Preview, but from there I don't see how to enter: ⌘a, ⌘c, ⌘n, ⌘s
I finally figured it out, @MacBH928 :
Workflow receives current "image files" in "Finder.app"
add the "Open images in Preview" action,
then click the record button
then double click the image file
then enter ⌘a ⌘c ⌘n ⌘s
then hit stop recording button.
The first two lines will be mouse clicks, delete those by highlighting and then hitting the delete key.
Save file.
It won't run and an error will be thrown up unless you go into "system preferences > security & privacy > accessibility" and add and/or check the box for Automator.app and Finder.app.

I am pretty sure Automator can do it but needs programming knowledge, Automator is a powerful tool do not be fooled by the friendly interface, its not a novice software.
Like you, I have no idea how to do it , i have no programming knowledge nor scripting
I totally missed the memo on the command shift 4 trick. I'm over here cropping my screen shots in preview. ?♀️
Go to “system preferences > keyboard > Input Sources” and put a checkmark in the box before “Show Input menu in menu bar”. This will put an icon on your menu bar, that when clicked on, will open a small keyboard in a window. If you hold down option, it will show you what all the keys do when you hold down option. If you hold down option+shift, it will show you what all the keys do when you hold down option+shift. Etc… It will also show you emoji.
To be clear, I did it with Automator and I have no programming knowledge nor scripting either.
Figuring out how to do it took a while, and figuring out how to solve the error message took a while, but actually doing it took seconds.
Automator is a powerful tool indeed, but these commands are everyday commands used by novices. If you don't feel comfortable with it, I get it. I don't feel comfortable downloading apps.
It's a rewarding feeling to learn something new and accomplish a helpful task. Programming is not reserved for the gods, they are mere mortals too, who once knew nothing.
