MacOS – Disable Autohide Dock displaying slowly when in fullscreen

dockfullscreenmacos

I have autohide enabled for my dock and it seems to be a feature (at least in OS X 10.11.6) that, when I drag my mouse to the bottom of the screen when on a full-screened program, the dock will not display until I have attempted to drag the mouse down at least another time.

This problem does not occur when I am not on a full-screened program; the dock displays instantly.

I'd like my Mac to have the functionality of displaying the dock as if I was not ever in full screen mode.

Edit: If it is important, I use HyperDock. A change to this also would be sufficient for me; I have a license.

How to auto hide the dock and remove its delay on the Mac

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Copy and paste the following command into a Terminal window:

==UPDATED CODES==

defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 0 && killall Dock

To restore the default behavior, enter:

defaults delete com.apple.Dock autohide-delay && killall Dock

If you don't want to remove the delay altogether, but just want to shorten it, you can play around with the number after the -float option. For me, this is a good fit: 

defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 0.05 && killall Dock
