Macintosh/OS X
Various Mac OS X software, notes and tips.
-
DefaultKeyBinding.dict – put
this in ~/Library/KeyBindings and you’ll get you (more) emacs-like
keybindings across all Cocoa apps, and makes Home and End behave like
Home and End on Windows.
-
Quicksilver (pdf documentation)
-
TinkerTool
– tweak configuration settings, like moving the dock to the
left or right
- Increase Mail.app performance: sqlite3
"$HOME/Library/Mail/Envelope Index" vacuum. (source)
-
iStat
– system monitor
-
Firefox
themes - more OS X-like than the default (one version has
Safari-style upside-down tabs)
- Verbose boot – sudo nvram boot-args="-v"
- Open new tabs instead of new windows in Safari: defaults write
com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
Decent list of open-source
software for OS X.
