- 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 SizeUp before getting to this one. I use the following options,
- Keyboard Shortcuts
- Winkey-Left = put window of left half
- Winkey-Right = put window on right half
- WinKey-Up = center on screen using custom "snap area" of x=480, y=158, w=1,600, h=1,190 and move snap area to bottom right beside trash, click colour and make snap area invisible
- WinKey-Down = restore to previous position
- Additional customize,
- Extras - Double-click a windows titlebar - maximize
- Customizations - Uncheck "Restore old window size if window is dragged away again"
- Keyboard Shortcuts
- Keyboard Maestro(App Store $36) - Powerful shortcut utility. Very useful for me because I use an IBM keyboard. Common things I setup,
- Ensure Engine is set to run even if editor exists and also go back in and checkbox engine to start on login.
- CTRL-V - clear out formatting before pasting | Filter Clipboard with Remove Styles, Type the Apple-V
- Winkey-Home - increase brightness (does not work due to bug instead use native Pause)
- Winkey-End - decrease brightness (does not work due to bug instead use native ScrLk)
- Since I use Windows Virtual Machine at the same time so often)
- CTRL-C = copy
- CTRL-Z = undo
- ... plus I go crazy and do more like CTRL-LARROW, END ect.. (will create detailed page on this)
- Spark with the Plain Clip Plug-in - - Free but less powerful version of Keyboard Maestro.
- The Unarchiver@ (App Store) - handles common formats such as rar that the built in compression software does not.
- Go2Shell % (App Store) - jump to terminal in currently open GUI folder.
- Araxis Merge 64-bit - Best diff tool I have ever found. (disable Ribbon Interface, check do not show splash window, add folder filter to ignore .svn folders and make the default encoding UTF-8 No BOM). If you have a Windows license you can use it on the Mac too. http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com/ is in beta but it also looks like a very good alternative if you did not buy Araxis yet.
- VMWare Fusion - allows you to virtualize operating systems. If you do not know what this means you are missing out.
- To allow HoeKey to work - Preferences, Keyboard & Mouse, Key Mappings and uncheck ⌘-V.
- To allow CTRL-Click to work in Windows 7 - Preferences, Keyboard & Mouse, Mouse Shortcuts and uncheck everything
- TinyCal (App Store) - yet to try but it looks like what I want... simple visual calendar integrated with Google Calendar.
- Go2Shell (App Store) - quickly jump to command line in viewed folder - when dragging to toolbar keep ⌘ key down
