How to Assign Custom Keyboard Shortcuts to Menu Bar Commands in macOS

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to assign your own keyboard shortcuts to menu bar commands that lack default shortcuts in macOS.

An example of where this may be useful is in System Settings, where many settings can be quickly accessed from the View menu, however none of these commands have default keyboard shortcuts mapped to them. To create your own shortcut for a command:

  1. Open the app that contains the command, and note exactly how it's displayed in the menu bar; you'll need to enter this later.
  2. Open System Settings > Keyboard, and click Keyboard shortcuts.
  3. Select "Application shortcuts" in the table, and click Add.
  4. Choose the app the shortcut will apply to from the "Application" popup menu. note that you cannot map a shortcut that's already in use by that app.
  5. Type the exact name of the command in the "Menu title" field. To enter an ellipsis (…) sign as part of the command, press Option-Colon.
  6. In the "Shortcut" field, type the shortcut you want to assign to that command, and click Done to dismiss the dialog.
  7. If the app containing the command you assigned a shortcut to is open, quit and reopen it for the change to take effect.

Enhancing iOS Device Security with Stolen Device Protection

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates the new Stolen Device Protection feature introduced in iOS 17.3. This feature is designed to protect against the rare instance when someone has stolen your iPhone and knows your passcode.

Thomas begins by explaining the purpose of the Stolen Device Protection feature. It prevents unauthorized individuals from performing critical device and Apple ID account operations, like changing your device passcode or Apple ID password. This is achieved by requiring biometric authentication with Face ID or Touch ID, with no passcode fallback.

He then moves on to the step-by-step guide on how to enable the Stolen Device Protection feature:

Go to Settings.
Depending on your iPhone model, do one of the following:
On an iPhone with Face ID: double Tap Face ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode.
On an iPhone with a Home button: double Tap Touch ID & Passcode, then enter your passcode.
Scroll down to the Stolen Device Protection section, then double tap Turn On Protection.

Note: If you don't see the Stolen Device Protection section, you may need to set up Face ID or Touch ID first.

The episode also covers the Security Delay feature, which requires a successful Face ID or Touch ID authentication, an hour wait, then an additional successful biometric authentication. This feature helps prevent someone from making changes to settings that can lock you out of your iPhone or Apple ID account.

For further details about the Stolen Device Protection feature, you can refer to the following resource:

Hello and welcome.

My name is Thomas Donville, also known as AnonyMouse.

I'm going to talk to you today about a feature called Stolen Device Protection.

Now this will be ultimately up to you if you want to turn this feature on.

This is a feature that will just kind of enhance your security protection for your iPhone and other settings.

I'll explain a little more here.

When this item is set to on, this will give you an additional protection when it comes to anytime that your phone is stolen or gets lost.

In theory, the feature came about, unfortunately, because there have been some incidents where people will be watching other people gain access to their iPhone, whether that's using the passcode or using their biometric authentication to get into the phone and thus forth then gets stolen from that person.

Or maybe perhaps you lost your phone and somebody somehow, someway gets onto your phone one form or another.

Well this protection will defeat from that person being able to make changes to some critical areas on your device.

So the first layer of protection when this is turned on, this will protect you from them being able to access to certain settings that will now require a biometric authentication.

So it kind of bypass if there weren't any passcode to that area before, you will now have to be able to use authentication by a biometric…

Call Cleanup: Simplifying Your iPhone Call History

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to delete your entire iPhone call history or a specific call.

There are several reasons why individuals might choose to delete their iPhone call history or specific call log entries. One common reason is to ensure privacy by removing records of personal or sensitive calls that they wish to keep confidential, especially from others who may have access to their phone. Additionally, deleting old or irrelevant call logs helps maintain an organized call history, making it easier to find important calls and reducing clutter. Sometimes, to prevent misunderstandings or confusion, one might delete a call log entry related to an accidental dial or a call received from a specific number. Furthermore, while call logs take up minimal storage space, clearing them can help free up a small amount of storage on the iPhone, which is particularly useful if there is an extensive call history accumulated over time.

To delete your entire call history on iOS, follow these steps:

Open the Phone app.
Double-tap on the “Recents” tab.
Double-tap on the “Edit” button near the upper left corner, and choose "select" from the resulting menu.
Select “Clear” to remove all call logs.

To delete a specific call log entry:

Navigate to the Recents tab.
Select the call you wish to delete.
Swipe down to reveal the “Delete” option and double tap it.

Please note that deleting call history is irreversible, and the deleted call log entries cannot be restored unless you have a backup made prior to the deletion. Therefore, it’s important to be cautious and only delete call log entries that you are sure you no longer need or that you prefer to keep confidential.

A Demonstration and Walkthrough of VoiceOver Command Customization on macOS

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates some of VoiceOver's command customization capabilities on macOS.

If you find a particular VoiceOver command difficult to perform, or discover a function in the Commands menu that doesn’t have a default command, you can assign your own custom command to it. In addition, you can configure commands to open apps and run scripts, so you don’t have to locate them manually.

Commands can be configured by going to VoiceOver Utility > Commands, selecting the “Command set: user” radio button, and clicking “Custom commands edit.” For ease of navigation, you can choose the type of commands you want to view or change, such as numpad, trackpad, keyboard, etc from the "Filter commands" popup menu, or use the search field to locate a particular command.

In this dialog, commands can be presented in either column view, which organizes commands into categories like general, information, and navigation, or table view, which displays a list of all VoiceOver commands, including user-configured ones, which you can navigate with the up and down arrow keys. To add a command, in column view, locate the command, interact with the table of assignments, and specify your new one using the "Add input" popup menu. To add a command when in table view, click the Add button, interact with the table, and specify the input assignment from the popup menu labeled "None: edited." Then, press VO-Right-Arrow passed an empty cell to another popup menu, and choose the command you want your new input assignment to perform.

With a demonstration and walkthrough of VoiceOver command customization on macOS.

Prior to macOS Sequoia, VoiceOver included several user configurable sets of commands, known as commanders, for the numpad, trackpad, keyboard, and quick nav.

With macOS Sequoia, these commanders have been consolidated into VoiceOver's broader command set, meaning in addition to the existing modifiers that you could use, like the option key for keyboard commander, you can also create your own command assignments using the VoiceOver modifier, which may be useful if you find a particular VoiceOver command difficult to perform, if you find a command in the commands menu, for example, that lacks a default assignment, or if you want to create a custom command to open an application.

So to demonstrate this, I'm going to open VoiceOver utility on my mac with VoF8.

How to Customize the Lock Screen on iOS

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to customize the lock screen on iOS, specifically how to remove the flashlight and camera buttons and replace them with other controls.

In addition to viewing the time, date, and notifications, the Lock Screen can be customized to remove or replace the camera and flashlight buttons with other controls, or show certain types of information at a glance, such as upcoming calendar events or current weather conditions. To customize the Lock Screen, perform a one-finger triple-tap on either the time or date, double-tap Customize, and then double-tap “Customize Lock Screen wallpaper.” From here, you can double-tap the Remove buttons for default controls, the “add quick action” button to select alternative controls, or the “Add widget” button to select a widget.

Hey, Apple Vissers, Tyler here with a quick tip for how to customize the lock screen on iOS.

By default, the iOS lock screen includes the time, date, any notifications received since the device was last used, and at least on devices without a home button, shortcuts to the flashlight and camera functions.

Over the years, the iOS lock screen has gradually become more customizable, with the ability to add widgets introduced with iOS 16 in 2022, and the ability to remove the camera and flashlight functions or replace them with other controls the user might find more useful introduced with iOS 18 in 2024.

If, like me, you don't find the camera or flashlight functions particularly useful, or at least not useful enough to where you would want them to be among the first things you see when you wake your iPhone, you can replace them with other things you might find more useful.

So for me, I replace them with a shortcut to the alarm and also a single action shortcut that I created to set a 20-minute timer.

So when I'm about to work out, I just take out my phone, wake it, unlock it, and double tap the workout timer button on the lock screen.

And when I want to set an alarm, I don't have to go into Control Center or open the clock app or use Siri anymore.

I just double tap the alarm button on the lock screen and I'm taken right there.

So to demonstrate this, I'm going to wake my iPhone now and I'm just going to explain so I don't have to explain while voiceover is talking and compete with that sound.

Once I unlock it, I'm going to triple tap either the time or the date.

Either one works.

You can triple tap or you can double tap and hold either one.

So I'm going to wake my iPhone now.

Do not disturb Friday 1 a.m. Okay, triple tap.

Astronomy wallpaper weather sunrise and sunset widget and clock next alarm widget button and illustration of red, blue and yellow rectangle.

Okay, so if I swipe left astronomy, that's the first element on the screen.

It's the current wallpaper I have.

You can have multiple.

So if you want to have different lock screens, like, for example, if you're working, you might want access to different types of information than if you're just on your own time.

If you want to link focuses, you can do that.

So if you have a work focus, you can have it…
