How to Change MacBook Behavior When Closing the Lid

Konstantin Dokuchaev -

A MacBook, like any normal computer, goes into sleep mode when you close the lid. But what if you don't like this behavior?

In that case, you can install Clamshell and configure the system behavior to suit your needs.

There are four operation modes available, in addition to the default macOS setting:
