Going thru the pain of an OS change, not THAT bad, here are the essentials...

  • DAMN the OS X designers, faggy mouse lovers want you to use corners of screen for workspace, window navigation - WAIT, there is a better way. KEYBOARD PLEEEEZ...
    • Alt-` = tab through current app's windows
    • Fn-F10 = tile current app's windows, navigate with arrows
    • I still MUST find a way to flip thru code files faster!!
    • Fn-F9 = tile desktop windows, navigate with arrows
    • Ctrl-1/2/3/4 = show desktop n
    • Fn-F8 = tile desktops, navigate with arrows
    • Alt-X = maximize window; Applescript here: ~/Library/Scripts/Click Green Maximize Button of Frontmost Window.scpt
  • full CMS cut/copy/paste are NOT supported, use ctrl-x/c/v HATES IT
  • no window maximize? WTF! I need to write a script...
  • firefox home key can't be customized - use fn-option-leftarrow, rrrr...
