Universal clipboard is one of those features that doesn’t sound like anything special at first, but once you start using it, it will be hard to live without it. Soon we might be able to ask Siri to send messages on third-party apps like Line and WhatsApp, as well as book an Uber for us. Although Apple is playing catch-up here, it’s exciting that Siri will finally be able to perform up to its capabilities.

You can ask Siri to lower the brightness of your screen, toggle Bluetooth and other connectivity switches, and even ask “ How fast is my Mac?“, to which Siri replies with the name and clock speed of the processor in your Mac.Īpple is also opening up Siri to third-party developers, which means that we will finally be able to use Siri to do tasks other than just the ones that are built into it.

Siri can do everything it did on the iPhone, and more. There’s a menu bar icon (next to the “ Notification Center” icon) that can be used to launch Siri, or, if you’re like me and prefer using the keyboard for almost everything, you can long press “ Command + Space” (yes, the Spotlight shortcut, only longer…) to launch Siri. Coming back to macOS Sierra, Siri is impressive.

The most awaited feature in the macOS Sierra upgrade was Apple finally integrating Siri to the Mac: Something that Microsoft had done in Windows 10, and was immediately hailed as a useful feature to have in a laptop/desktop environment. I’ve tried my hands on macOS Sierra for a couple of days now, and have enjoyed it immensely, except for a couple of glitches here and there. In this article, I’ll compare the features in macOS Sierra vs OS X El Capitan.


This was partly because OS X public betas in the past have been stable enough to use, and partly because I just couldn’t wait to try Siri on the Mac, and otherwise explore the new features in the latest OS from the Cupertino giant. As dangerously as I tend to live, technologically, I didn’t hesitate before downloading the OS on my MacBook Air, which is my daily driver.

The last item ('Update Pasteboard immediately when new text is selected') is not selected by default which I didn't know was necessary in order to have vim copy to clipboard.MacOS Sierra finally matured out of its “ Developer Preview” phase, and was launched as a “ Public Beta“, that can be downloaded and installed by anyone with an Apple ID and a compatible Mac, with the clichéd (but important) warnings regarding installing a beta software on a daily driver. After you've installed it, make sure that your preference pane is set up like this (this step is vital!): The solution to this is to run XQuartz (installer for it is there). Since you're running OS X, you don't have an X11 server running. The reason for this is because I can then forward my X11 session to the systems I ssh into and have Vim on those systems copy to my clipboard! This works great in a Vagrant setup as welll, you just need to set _x11 to true. I prefer to run my Vim in conjunction with the X11 server, though. So at this point, you have clipboard support and it should be yanking to your clipboard.
