Control center is one of the worst parts of my macOS usage. It keeps taking seconds to (abruptly) show up and on my multi-monitor system it sometimes shows up between corners or on the opposite site of the monitor I activated it on.
I wish it could be disabled and the controls put into the menu bar, but infuriatingly you can't.
- irrational 3y agoI've been using a mac for decades, but had no idea what control center was until about 1 minute ago when I read your comment and googled it. What in the world does control center provide that you find so essential?

- irrational 3y agoI just open Finder, select Airdrop from the left menu, and... that's it.
- lelandfe 3y agoGo try and use it with any part of the keyboard, too. It’s jarring how rapid the backslide on accessibility and interface standards macOS has been.
- howinteresting 3y agoIt's just another reminder that Apple, like all other big tech companies, is full of mediocre software teams working on unreasonable deadlines.
- dkonofalski 3y agoIn fairness, none of the options present in Control Center are exclusive to it. Everyone one of the options is available in System Preferences (with full keyboard support) or elsewhere.
- lelandfe 3y agoYeah, instead of having keyboard users do the normal thing to check their WiFi, interacting with the menubar, they should instead, every time, 1. Open System Settings; 2. Type Cmd-F; 3. type "wifi"; 4. press Tab 2 times
- dkonofalski 3y agoYou mean like every other OS? On Windows, you have to press the Win button, go to Settings, tab over to Network, tab over to Wifi. If you were such a keyboard expert, you'd know that you can 1. Press Cmd+Space 2. Type 'wifi' 3. Do whatever you need to do.
- lelandfe 3y agoOther operating systems having a bad accessibility story is pretty poor justification for Apple backsliding on theirs.
- dkonofalski 3y agoIt's not a backslide, though. Control Center has never been accessible by keyboard and neither is the menu bar unless an app has a specific shortcut key.
