This installs itself in the contextual menu. When you CTRL+klick on a folder “Open Terminal Here” will open a… you get the point Link

If you don’t know it - You have missed something. Just press Control+Space and type the first letter of the app you want to launch.

If you want to take a look at some shortcuts, open Menu->Debug->Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts
Shift+Command+right and left are quite usefull
I wish Cocoagestures would understand rightmouse button and wheel up/down so I can map these commands to a new gesture :/

Well, apart from “geekhardware”, mo’ money and Sarah you know what I wish Terminal.app had Keychain.app support. Storing those billion passwords in a secure manner and being integrated into Mac OS sounds appealing.

I come to like Safari lately, but I missed the gestuers I knew from Firefox very much. Now I found Cocoa gestures. One can use it for all Cocoa apps, but I only need it for Safari. It is fairly easy to configure. Just enable it and choose what action you would like to perform. Cocoa gestures records your clicks and maps it to a gesture that you can customize further. COOL!

Cocoa gestures

One thing I am still missing. The Firefox extension “All in one gestures” had the feature to switch tabs without popups with right mouse button + wheel up and right mouse button + wheel down. I can’t emulate this with Cocoa gestures :/ If you know how, drop me a note please.

Today I found this wonderfull app that lets you configure a key and mouse combo for resizing and moving windows. Now I can use Command + left mouse button to move windows and Command + right mouse button to resize them. This feels a lot more like the good old window managers I knew from Linux (like Fluxbox, Xfce, Gnome, Windowmaker…)

WindowDragon

UPDATE:
I had to remap the keys because Safari gets confused when Command + left click is used. It can’t open new tabs any more. However now I am using Control + Command + lmb

UPDATE2: APE and Windowdragon are now universal!!! Rejoice

Here is a small and incomplete list of lifechanging shortcuts you need with Mac OS X:

Command + q - Quit current app.

Command + Tab - Switch between running apps.

Control + F2 - Focus menuebar.

Command + r - Reload page in Safari.

Command + Option + i - Get summary information for the selected files.

Command + Tab and then q - While switching trough apps, press q to quit the selected one.

Command + Shift + 4 - Screenshot (selectable area).

Command + Shift + 4 and then press Space - Select object for screenshot < - COOL!.

Command + Left click - Show file in Finder from Spotlight search list.

Command + g - Jump to the next occurrence while searching in Safari.

Option + LeftMouseButton on the Desktop - Hides the focused App

Option + Command + LeftMouseButton on the Desktop - Hides everything

I will never understand why the f*** Apple decided to map the “Enter” key to renaming?!?! So it turns out that Command + O is the combo to use if you want to start/access… At least it is “consistent” Apple + Open
