Several utilities that make life bearable on the mac:
- KeyRemap4MacBook — awesome way to make sensible keyboard changes. Recommend the following settings:
- Change Eject Key / Eject to Forward Delete
- Change Fn Key / Fn+letter to Control_L+Letter (note: I use MacOS’s keyboard changes to change Control keys to Command keys)
- Custom Shortcuts / Hold Command+Q to Quit Application
- And my own private.xml file, with Change Cmd+H to Ctrl+H (For Eclipse), and remap Alt-F4 to Command+Q (not that I love windows, but I don’t want quitting to be easy)
- Stay — $15, but worth it if you move between different monitor configurations.
- Airfoil — $25, if you want to use AirPlay with external programs like Pandora or Spotify.
- Jumpcut — clipboard history
- Disk Inventory X — find out where your disk space is going
- Bigger names, all cross-platform: Songbird, Firefox, Chrome, Steam, etc.
- Finally, VirtualBox, so I can use real operating systems when I need them.
