Instead of having to open the Notes app, now you can swiftly take a note down through Quick Notes.
The Quick Notes function was launched as part of macOS Monterey 12 and it allows you jot down a note on your Macbook regardless of what application you're in. You no longer have to go through the hassle of opening the Notes app. Once you have added something to a Quick Note it will automatically save and be found in your Notes app.
Here we will walk you through the three different ways you can open Quick Notes.
The easiest way to open Quick Notes is by pressing the "Q" and "fn" keys at the same time. This shortcut will pull up a new note to the center of your screen. Alternatively you can also press the "Globe Key" and it have the same effect. Remember, you must have macOS Monterey installed.
