MacOS Dock Auto Hiding Delay

How to speed up MacOS Dock Auto Hiding Animations

Use Terminal to speed up your Dock animations

You can accelerate the speed of animations used in your Dock by running a simple command in Terminal; here’s how:

1. Open Terminal from Finder > Applications > Utilities.
2. Insert the below commands, depending on what you want to achieve. Once you insert a command, press Return to run it:

• To speed up Dock animations

defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.15;killall Dock

• To disable Dock animations

defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -int 0;killall Dock

3. You can always reinstate your original Dock settings  with the below command:

defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier;killall Dock

Auto hide delay tweaking
Enter this into Terminal to make the Dock show without a delay :
`defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 0; killall Dock;`

Maybe you want to have a long delay (5 seconds) so that you never accidentally trigger the Dock:
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-delay -float 5; killall Dock;

To restore defaults:
defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-delay; killall Dock;

Animation speed tweaking
Enter this into Terminal to make the Dock show without animations :
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0; killall Dock;

It's still nice to have a short animation (0.2 seconds) and this line makes it possible:
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier -float 0.2; killall Dock;

To restore defaults:
defaults delete com.apple.dock autohide-time-modifier; killall Dock;
