Enable Tab for the Mac UI

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

picture-1.pngUp until now I wasn’t able to use the tab key to switch between various elements on the Mac desktop. On the save dialog “save” and “cancel” couldn’t foccused with the tab key. One had to use the mouse. Seems Apple thought of that being wise or something, thankfully the left an option to change this behaviour. All you have to do is to check “All controlls” at the bottom while hilighting “All applications”.

If you receive an error message telling you something about “realocating user32.dll in memory…” than you will need this fix from M$. For me it was tugzip that stopped working.

Without my Macbook

Yes I sold it. (again). Really, I can’t keep a new Mac longer than a few months. It sucks to be a operating system nomad, but I allways strive for the perfect setup. Now I am waiting for the next Macbook/Macbook Pro generation. With the new Intel Core 2 Duo CPU - codename “Merom”. This one I’ll keep for at least… oh well..

Yes, it’s finally here but I have no time to play with it. First “Betriebsysteme” now “Stochastik, IST, Analytische Geometrie, Rechnerarchitekturen and Operationsresearch” and after that “Softwaretechnik”. And I’ll have to put Windows on my sweet Macbook - what a shame.

After installing Xcode 2.3 Trung and I had some background processes runing mad. It turned out it was the bfobserver daemon used for distributed network builds (distcc?).

And yes, disbaling _ALL_ your daemons is a bad thing(tm). On the bright side, I learned a lot about the boot process of OSX :)
