First, since this is a macOS feature, it doesnt matter which of thebest MacBook and Macsyou have.
This process works for all of them.
The 27-inch iMac from 2020 – the last one ever?
With that in mind, lets take at look at how to ‘select all’.
So,bring to the frontthe window, tab, or app you want to use this function.
Select All items or text
With the relevant website, folder, etc open, pressCommand+A.
Youve now selected everything.
Note that this doesnt work if you’re selecting text.
Final thoughts
This feature is incredibly simple but very useful.
you’re free to use it before using a number of other shortcuts.
Delete will do as the key suggests and delete everything.
Or, you could nudge the items and drag them to the desired folder or location.
