Features that should be indisputably in MacOS. If Apple doesn't want these features to be on by default out of the box, fine. But let them exist and allow them to be activated later. I invite everyone to put their desired feature.



* Show speed during file copy in copy progress window

* Improve spell checking a lot

* Add snapping windows!!!

* When clicking on the green circle to maximize window, there must be the option to maximize without full screen and also implement keyboard shortcuts to use it.

* Improve full screen because it has no consistency. Some applications hide the buttons, others when you move the mouse up a bar appears, it's a disaster.

* Allow a more personalized configuration of the Dock with several external screens. For example having a dock on each screen or pinning the dock to a screen, allowing a screen to be turned off for example.

* Allow use of Macbook with external display without charger and with the lid closed.

* Add in Settings the volumes by application to be able to lower or increase the sound volume of an individual application.

* Add the option to record system audio when recording the screen or record the sound of an application when recording the screen or a window (This already exists in IOS for God's sake). Even an option to record only system audio.

* Add option to show ethernet icon in the bar.

* Add an option to be able to remove configuration files and other remnants left behind by an application when it is removed from the Applications folder. In other words, create an application to be able to have the files that an application leaves in, for example, “Application Support” and other folders, well managed. This both in the apps that are installed with the .app file and those that are installed with the Installer

* Native GUI designed by apple to use the HyperVisor, there are very good projects like UTM but Apple must create its own native interface.

* Allow deleting native applications from the system as allowed by IOS and then reinstalling them through the App Store.

* The new Settings application allows multi-window to be able to open a configuration panel with "Open in new window"

* Allow to customize the menu bar font, such as font size, color, transparency level and background color. That is to say an automatic mode like now but also an option that allows customization.

I agree with you on all points, especially these below:
Show speed during file copy in copy progress window
Yes, I've been waiting for this for YEARS!!
Allow use of Macbook with external display without charger and with the lid closed.
Also totally need this feature, annoying how it has to be connected to power for Closed-Display Mode.
Add in Settings the volumes by application to be able to lower or increase the sound volume of an individual application.
I think there are third party apps that can do this (?) but would be nice to have a "native interface" for this.

hey thanks for your input

Many of the features I mentioned can be done with third-party applications, but for example to record system audio you need BlackHole and its process is not easy for the average user. That's why I think that Apple should add running these features so that they can be used in a simple and native way.
