Re: OS X Lion

How do you get Safari to use cmd-k to jump to the google search bar? i've found old docs online for pre lion to goto system prefs>keyboard>applications but this doesn't seem to work in lion.

Re: OS X Lion

Apparently this is how you do it:

[QUOTE]Look inside System > Keyboard [tab:Keyboard Shortcuts].

Select "Services" in the left pane and look under "Searching". The "Search With Google" service is in there. Just make sure it's checked and the keyboard combo is set correctly - since the reading list is now shift + apple + L I set mine to apple + option + G - this should be system wide - so it will work in mail instead of flagging a message!

Re: OS X Lion

How can I get the page turning effect to disable when switching between fullscreen apps? IE I'm switching between Safari and a maximized iTerm session all the time and the whole slide sideways off the screen effect is annoying. I want windows to swap as fast as possible. Anyone know how to change this?

Re: OS X Lion

Interesting, I didn't know you can disable it, but here you go.

Here's how to disable the animation that occurs when switching between Spaces: [LIST] []Open [I]/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app[/I]. []Copy and paste the following into the terminal window and then press enter: [/LIST][CODE]defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-swoosh-animation-off -bool YES && killall Dock[/CODE]

If you'd like to re-enable the animation, just do the following: [LIST] []Open Terminal. []Copy and paste the following into the terminal window and then press enter: [/LIST][CODE]defaults delete com.apple.dock workspaces-swoosh-animation-off && killall Dock[/CODE]

Re: OS X Lion

BTW the animation is part of Spaces, OS X's virtual desktop app.

Re: OS X Lion

^hah you know i found that exact webpage also and already tried that. it is for spaces related stuff, and its not applying to this i don't think. so in lion is each maximized app considered a 'space'? because i tried that a while back and it still just does the side scroll thing when swapping.

if i hit f3 i see dashboard / desktop / iterm right now. safari is contained in the desktop window since its not maximized currently. but i would think iterm and desktop would be their own 'space', but this change doesn't seem to work for me.

Re: OS X Lion

Thanks but that didn't work either :( From the looks of it this doesn't seem to be possible right now which is pretty stupid. I would think window decoration type stuff like this would be configurable from the get go, but it doesn't look like it right now.

Re: OS X Lion

Damn. I guess we gotta wait for someone to discover the command. Did you check out programs like Onyx or Secrets? They let you tweak hidden features, might help?

Re: OS X Lion

Humm..I haven't heard of those, I will check em out. Thanks.
