Apple

We got our first Macintosh. Here are some things I'm considering doing.

Configuration

  • Get Chrome
    • Set up sync: Preferences → Personal Stuff → Sync
  • Configure mail to use Gmail.
  • System Preferences:
    • Keyboard: Control Panel → Keyboard → Modifier Keys… → swap Command and Control keys
    • Appearance
      • Place scroll arrows: At top and bottom
    • Mouse
      • Make tracking speed much faster!
      • Enable Secondary click for the right mouse button
      • Get SteerMouse (linked below) to stop wheel acceleration (Or Logitech V200 LCC)
    • Dock
      • Position on Right
      • Maybe automatically show and hide dock?

Tips

Shortcut Action
Command+space Spotlight (Very handy!)
Command+W Close the window.
Command+Q Quit the application. (Closing its windows isn't enough.)
Command+click Open the link in another tab.
Command+Tab Switch between applications.
Command+` Switch between windows within the application.
Command+Opt+Esc Force Quit the application
Shift+Opt+Command+V Paste without formatting

Software to Get

iOS Apps

Here are iPhone/iPod apps I really want to make.

Sokoban

Sokoban: Plenty already exist. What matters here is an intuitive (to me) user control.

Scrobbler

What matters here is the ability to scrobble what I've played to last.fm directly from my iPhone/iPod.

Plurk

The existing official client could stand improvement.
