[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1640248, member: 131855"] Chat summary, including links, will be posted sometime tomorrow evening (about 6 p.m). I'll post the info here and on the Youtube page. A bit later than anticipated but here are the links to the content from last night's chat. You can keep Spotlight active so that it doesn’t get hidden by the window you are working in. Click on the magnifying glass to make Spotlight appear. With the Spotlight window visible do a long long-right-click on the magnifying glass in the menubar. The blue box around it will stay and so will the window.
