Been a while since Ive used a PC for anything other than gaming, been on MacOS for years. Using a new PC more these days and wondered if theres a way in Win11 to do anything like some of the native Mac stuff:
  • Text replacement - eg type @@ and it replaces it with your email address
  • Quick view - for PDF and images (space bar on Mac)
  • Copy/Paste to/from iphone (cant see this but worth an ask)
Thanks!
 
This is a different beast from Mac OS and M$ generally like to break it :D

However, I have an iPhone and use the Simple Transfer app on my PC when I need to. Works well.

This one
 
  • Text replacement - eg type @@ and it replaces it with your email address - don't know of anything
  • Quick view - for PDF and images (space bar on Mac) - powertoys, peek does this using ctrl and space but honestly it's almost faster to just open them properly on my system and/or use the thumbanails and preview sidebar
  • Copy/Paste to/from iphone (cant see this but worth an ask) - phone link for windows might do what you want but I do know the iOS version is severely limited compared with android version.
Note I'm using these on windows 10 but there's not a huge difference on peek and phone link.
