So next time you’re about to say “Look its not rocket science” apparently you have to say what now?

@elasticthreads Was driving me nuts but I figured it out. When I open a screenshot the markup/drawing tools are active. To see the Live Text widget I need to tap the tool palette toggle icon at the top (circled here). When the palette is off I get to see the Live Text icon at bottom left.

@jgordonshare no, 15.5 on a 13 mini here.

[David Halter @elasticthreads]

Live Text is amazing for many reasons but my low key most common use is when an app has unselectable text (hi Google Maps, Instagram, FB Messenger): screenshot, tap little corner popover, select unselectable text, copy, and discard screenshot

[David Halter @elasticthreads]

@jgordonshare i can do it, on ios, in the screenshot thing and then toss the screenshot.

@UINT_MIN Even worse than that: on my 2014 MBP running Big Sur, which can't run Monterey, I get weekly notifications to upgrade to Monterey. WTF.

@uliwitness @pmjordan You can change the kb shortcut for "Enter Full Screen" and "Exit Full Screen" in System Prefs>>Keyboard for "All Applications". It's cmd-ctrl-F in Big Sur and before.

So glad Safari 15.1 got the good tabs. But, at least on Big Sur, the location/search field gets all squished. You have to open prefs, switch to Compact tabs and then switch back to One True Tabs (aka "Separate") to fix the search field.

And do that every time Safari launches...

@gruber @daringfireball I gotcha. All caps, but font-bigged.

[David Halter @elasticthreads]

@mattgemmell check @Readdle 's Documents app. Pretty sure it can do that.

It's great at training that self-driving machine vision model that Google is working on tho.

Even though those CAPTCHA online security tests might be good at filtering out the robots, I'm not sure they're great at letting in the humans. Or at least letting in humans who are not weeping in the process…

@Catfish_Man Gonna need iOS 16 to add a Live Peppers feature

@boredzo have you tried using Karabiner? I think that might be able to accomplish a virtual number pad.

[David Halter @elasticthreads]
