My configuration. Minimalist, but helps save a few thousand keystrokes a day. I use macOS, so I can only guarantee they'll work on a Mac, but I use some of these dotfiles on various linux servers, and they seem to be pretty flexible.
|
||||
|
||||
## macOS settings
|
||||
|
||||
Run `.osx` to apply macOS defaults:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./.osx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Use `--no-restart` while iterating:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
./.osx --no-restart
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The script configures:
|
||||
|
||||
- Bottom-right trackpad corner as secondary click.
|
||||
- Screenshot output to `~/Downloads`.
|
||||
- Screenshot keyboard shortcuts disabled.
|
||||
- Spotlight and Show Apps keyboard shortcuts disabled.
|
||||
- Dock recent apps disabled.
|
||||
- Dock hot corners, Finder defaults, Safari developer settings, and other UI preferences.
|
||||
|
||||
Some settings are cached by macOS services. If System Settings still shows stale shortcut checkbox state after running the script, log out and back in.
