And not to forget the little Finder function that allows you to create a new folder with all of the items you've selected, which are automatically moved into it.

Oh how I wish windows could or would add this. And hitting the space bar in the Finder to look at a file without opening the requisite app. And just Preview. He’s right, there are tons of little QoL improvements that make macOS feel so superior.

Spacebar to preview, command-spacebar to launch apps. I'd die without those two things.

I just learned about command spacebar

[–] mnrockclimber@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

it's the best. cmd-spacebar, type the first few letters of the program to run, and press enter. So easy and efficient :-)

Peek, another powertoys util, attempts to fill this gap using ^+space https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/peek

I installed powertoys last night but I haven’t had a chance to use it yet. Still no new folder from selected files option, but lots of other things sound useful.
