    Spaces in Lion – MacRumors Forums

    They removed the Spaces Grid for Lion, that’s crappy. It must come back very soon.

    For the time being “absolute positioning to a space” with the right keyboard shortcut and “threefinger swiping” up and down will help a little.

  • OS X: how to lock your screen immediately? through “Screen Standby” (if …)

    You achieve that through the Screen Standby command resp. shortcut, iff that got set up (within the Security preferences) to Require password.
    Thanks for pointing me there go to JL.
    I really love locking my screen instantly, when I leave my desk.

  • keyboard shortcuts on all the major operating systems

    For the last couple of months I have been struggling with the keyboard of my beloved MacBook Pro. How often did I click on “Show Keyboard Viewer“? And it still didn’t really help on the long run. Today I did some respective “research”, and here are the links:

    Some of those shortcuts, that I really love now on my Snow Leopard MacBook:

    • “cycle through open … windows of the current desktop” resp. “switch focus to the next/previous window (without dialog)“: Ctrl+F4 or Cmd+` (that’s the Grave accent key).
    •  “show / hide desktop“: F11

    Today I also screen dumped my the Keyboard Viewer window, printed it a couple of times, and scribbled all the other uses of a key (together with fn, Control, Alt, Command) on it. This will seriously help me learning how to find brackets, curly braces (that I need for perl and ruby), the tilde (that I need for Portuguese and in a shell command line) far sooner.

    Update / 2010-06-22:
    Yes, on OS X at System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts, this is where a lot of nice shortcuts get listed.
