The exit ofmacOS Venturais probably less than two weeks out and it will fetch a slew of new features to gussy up your old Mac : Stage Manager , enhanced Spotlight lookup , Messages redaction , and Continuity Camera , just to name a few . But the one feature I need to better my macOS experience wo n’t be there .
It ’s a simple one that ’s been on the iPhone for year . When you ’re scrolling a web site , feed , or app , you may intercept the top of the cover near the notch or Dynamic Island to jump to the top of whatever screen you ’re on . It ’s an improbably utile shortcut that I use numerous times a sidereal day in every app — so much so that I often twice - penetrate the claim bar on window on my Mac to do the same affair .

plainly it does n’t work — but I still instinctively do it at least once a day . And I doubt I ’m the only one . If you ’re an iPhone user , you ’re train to rap the top of the screen to jumpstart to the top of a page . That ’s the same as doubly - clicking a title bar on macOS . But instead of that expected demeanour , you ’ll either “ zoom ” the window or understate it , two things I do n’t do very often . you may custom-make what doubled - clicking does in the Dock & Menu Bar setting , but you may only choose one of those options .
In macOS Ventura , there ’s a third alternative : Do nothing . But the choice I require is an option to scroll to the beginning of the page . Yes , I acknowledge there ’s a keyboard cutoff ( fn + left arrow ) but I want to be able to keep my hand on a trackpad or mouse and quickly skip to the top of the screen . Alas , that ’s still not an choice in Ventura .
