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
