In my previous article, I showed you how we can configure a new version of macOS, so that the Dock is automatically hidden in order to enjoy more space on the screen, especially if we usually work with a MacBook, and the size, in itself small of the screen, it becomes smaller still.
The problem with this trick is that every time we "call" the Dock by sliding the mouse towards the area where it is located, we can place it anywhere on the screen, the Dock appears after half a second, more or less, it does not immediate form, which in the long run and if we resort to it habitually, it ends up despairing.
Fortunately, the response speed of the Dock every time we place the mouse over that area can be modified so that it appears immediately and not after half a second. Unfortunately, this procedure cannot be done through the system settings, so we will have to resort to a terminal command that we detail below.
This command, which actually eliminates the animation that shows us the appearance of the Dock when we place the mouse in that area, which although it is true may not be very funny to some users, it is the only way to accelerate its appearance. To speed up this process, we must write the following command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide -bool true && defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0 && defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0 && killall Dock
If once we have tried it, we see that we prefer to wait a little longer, and that the menu appears with a smooth animation, we can restore the changes through the following command that we must also write in Terminal:
defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide && defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-delay && defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier && killall Dock
Thank you very much, it has worked wonders for me.
