terminal commands, Mac haxies etc.

Leopard 13 Comments »

I don’t consider myself very hip on mac tricks/haxies yet the ones I have been ready are straight from the Apple web page… here are a few terminal commands I use so often I never forget them. I’d love to know some more:

1. defaults write com.apple.Dock showhidden -bool YES (Makes hidden applications’ dock icons translucent. NO to reverse.)

2. killall (example “killall Dock”) basic… quick dock/dashboard reset

3. defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES (unlocks dashboard dev mode.NO to reverse.)

4. defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES (highlight cursor in stacks)

5. defaults write com.apple.Dock workspaces-auto-swoosh -bool NO (disabled space switching for command-tab…YES to undo as with others)
