  1. Better Snap Tool (App Store $2) - Get Windows 7 like snapping in addition to being able to use keyboard shortcuts to snap windows wherever you want. Also has loads of other features. Went through lots of tools like SizeUpbefore getting to this one. I use the following options,
    1. Keyboard Shortcuts
      1. Winkey-Left = put window of left half
      2. Winkey-Right = put window on right half
      3. WinKey-Up = center on screen using custom "snap area" of x=555, y=150, w=1450, h=1190
      4. WinKey-Down = restore to previous position
    2. Extras = Double-click a windows titlebar to maximize and restore
  2. Keyboard Maestro(App Store $36) - Powerful shortcut utility. Very useful for me because I use an IBM keyboard. Common things I setup,
    1. CTRL-V - clear out formatting before pasting
    2. Winkey-Home - increase brightness (keyboard shortcut not working unless there is a delay, but others shortcuts will work, contact support)
    3. Winkey-End - decrease brightness
  3. Spark with the Plain Clip Plug-in -- Free but less powerful version of Keyboard Maestro.
  4. The Unarchiver@ (App Store) - handles common formats such rar that the built in compression software does not.
  5. Go2Shell % (App Store) - jump to terminal in currently open GUI folder.
