Working on your latest pixel-perfect design? I don’t know about you, but I am. I need to zoom in and look at my design really closely, at the pixel level. How do I do that?
Great. Done. Now, while holding control, drag on your Trackpad using two fingers. Let’s take a look at OSX Hacker.
Hold CTRL + drag, and Zoooom’in:
Using any computer, Mac or PC, requires you to switch back and forth between your mouse and keyboard.
Here’s how to speed up your workflow when you’re using your mouse. I call it magic corners, and it annoys the hell out of anyone who wants to use my mac.
Open System Preferences, then the Dashboard & Expose preference pane.
Now assign a function to EVERY corner of your screen (hey — why not use all you have).
Assign the corners as follows:
From now on, you’ll have to be more careful when you move your mouse, but you’ll quickly get the hang of it. You’ll have instant access to features that will greatly improve your workflow with quick mouse movements.
For example, it’s very easy to drag stuff to the desktop now, since you just start dragging, touch the bottom right corner, and drop on the desktop.
Or, it’s takes half a second to check out what day it is on the dashboard, just touch the corner twice really quickly, and you’ll get a glimpse of your dashboard calendar.
You probably know and love expose, but chances are you never use the “Expose Application Windows” feature, which is a great choice in many cases where you have many windows in an application like terminal.
Enjoy, - Rob
