Clean up your Mac Desktop with Mojave Stacks

Mojave’s new Use Stacks command lets you organize the items on your desktop with a single menu selection (View–>Use Stacks) or keyboard shortcut (Command + Control + 0). Here’s how it works:

It’s that simple. If your Desktop is a mess, burn that keyboard shortcut — Command + Control + 0 — into your muscle memory and start using it to turn your Desktop clutter into neatly organized stacks. 

One last thing: If you’re concerned about Stacks messing up your desktop icons, which you’ve so carefully arranged, you’ll be happy to know that pressing Command + Control + 0 again will return your Desktop to its former arrangement no matter how disorganized or messy.

This nugget of info is from my “Working Smarter for Mac Users” newsletter.  You can sign up for free and get free timesaving tips, and more, every week.
