#APPLE GIF KEYBOARD FOR MAC#
It would be cool if Tenor for Mac offered the option to select higher quality GIFs, maybe as a settings option. This is fine if you're sharing a GIF via a chat window, but sometimes you just want to express yourself with an HD quality repeating clip. Second, the GIFs are somewhat low quality.
#APPLE GIF KEYBOARD UPDATE#
I'd love to see an update that allows us to scroll through all available GIFs from a search on the Touch Bar. If you want to see more of them, you have to scroll down on the Tenor for Mac pop-out window in the Menu bar, which kind of defeats the purpose of having GIFs on the Touch Bar. First, only the first 20 GIFs appear in the Touch Bar. The moment you search for a GIF, its results appear in the Touch Bar and are animated, too. It works seamlessly with the 2016 MacBook Pro Touch Bar. It's a Mac app at its base, so if you don't have a Touch Bar on your Mac, you can copy and paste any GIF you want directly from the Tenor window in the Menu bar. It's also for more than just Touch Bar users. It makes it easier to find the right GIF without taking forever to search for it. I like having a little more customization and personalization. I have one album just for GIFs I send to my significant other and another that is nothing but cat GIFs. If you sign up for a free account, you can save favorite GIFs, upload your own content, and create "Packs," which are basically albums for your GIFs. Does it need to do anything else? Just the same, it does do other things. Yes, but why?īecause it's GIFs on your Touch Bar! What makes it special? Then, go to the spot you wanted to add the GIF and paste it with your keyboard shortcut, Command + V (or use Control + click on your trackpad, it's your call). Tenor for Mac will automatically copy it. You can drag your finger along the Touch Bar to the left or right until you see a GIF you want to use. The GIFs will populate in the pop-out window on your screen, but they will also display on your Touch Bar. You can also type a word or phrase into the search field. If you're looking for an expression that you could use the middle finger emoji for, but want to go the extra step, tap on the emoji and a list of related GIFs will appear. Whenever you want to grab a GIF, click on the icon in the Menu bar and it'll display a list of emoji on the Touch Bar, which is a fun little addition.
#APPLE GIF KEYBOARD INSTALL#
When you install Tenor for Mac, it sits in your Menu bar. Anywhere you can paste a GIF, you can copy it from your keyboard with just a tap. It puts GIFs right at your fingertips so you can share them anywhere, not just iMessages or Facebook. In addition to looking cool on your Touch Bar, it does serve a purpose. If nothing else, Tenor for Mac is awesome because it makes your Touch Bar look super cool. Yes, active, animated GIFs right in the Touch Bar. You can find it in the App Store by searching both names. Tenor for Mac is currently under the name GIF Keyboard, but will be rebranded as Tenor for Mac in the coming weeks. What if you had immediate access to dozens of GIFs so you could respond to texts, update statuses, and generally have a great time communicating with the world? With Tenor for Mac, you can do just that.
You can quickly access settings that might normally be buried under a half-dozen clicks if you didn't have Touch Bar support. The Touch Bar on the 2016 MacBook Pro is a useful tool for all manner of applications.
