Snap To Cursor For Mac

Mac › Theming › General. Snap-To questions & answers. Auto snaps the cursor to the default button whenever a dialog box appears on your screen. Method Two: Mac Snap Windows via Mission Control. Enter Mission Control from Launchpad or by pressing F3 on the Mac keyboard. Drag any app or window to the top of the screen. Drag and drop another app or window into the same space as earlier, then the two apps. The above commands work for any Mac-compatible keyboard, but if you have an Apple keyboard with the Function key, a few more shortcuts become available. In addition to Command-Up and Command-Down, users can press Function-Left and Function-Right to achieve the same result (that is, jump to the top or bottom of a document, respectively).
