Useful OS X stuff

This is a mixed list of things I rarely use and tend to forget … so as a reminder to myself

Spotlight

  • To get Spotlight to re-index the main disk:
    sudo mdutil -E /

The Dock

  • Since I like my dock in the upper right corner:
    defaults write com.apple.Dock pinning start
    Other options are middle and end

BBEdit

  • Set the threshold for the warning of opening a lot of files
    defaults write com.barebones.bbedit Warning:LotsOfFilesThreshold -int X
    X is the desired limit, for example 5, 10, 50, 75
  • Turn off the warning completely
    defaults write com.barebones.bbedit Warning:OpenLotsOfFiles -bool NO

Keynote

  • When I use the presenter display Keynote presented the date in 12 hour format, a bit strange since I never use it and have never set it to use 12 hour format. Anyway, use the following to get the proper 24-hour display:
    defaults write com.apple.MenuBarClock Use24HourClock -bool yes
