Didn&#x27;t see this one on the list - while Command+Tabbing, if you hold down Option while letting go of Command at the end, you&#x27;ll open a new window in the specified application if it currently doesn&#x27;t have any open.<p>It might sound confusing, but it&#x27;s quite useful if you&#x27;ve closed all the windows of a given app but still have it running.

I have one: press shift and alt while changing volume or brightness and you can change it in fine-grained steps. Not super useful, but kind of neat.

I was just playing around with option+menu bar items and discovered that notifications can be disabled by option-clicking the notification center icon on the far right in Mountain Lion.<p>Then if you click to open notification center there is text which says that notifications will turn back on tomorrow and a toggle to turn them back on now

Here are the comments from the last time this appeared on HN a few years ago: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2436198" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=2436198</a>

Not a hidden feature - but what confuses some of my family members is that if they install an app in OS X, they click on a downloaded dmg (or it auto-opens), and they get this Finder window opening, without &quot;Applications&quot; visible.<p>Initially they just ran the application like this, as if it was installed.<p>However, I&#x27;ve explained that it needs to be moved to &quot;Applications&quot;. This is difficult, seeing that if one clicks on Finder again, it doesn&#x27;t bring up a new window.<p>I tell them to do File-&gt;New Finder Window, but I wish there was a more elegant solution to this.

If you have an external display hooked up to a MacBook, using the Macbook keyboard’s brightness keys will change the laptop display. The external keyboard will change the external display (if attached). Ctrl + brightness key inverts the behavior for both external and internal.<p><a href="http://finerthings.in/mac/tips-for-changing-brightness-on-macbook-external-displays/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;finerthings.in&#x2F;mac&#x2F;tips-for-changing-brightness-on-ma...</a>

I recommend looking at BetterTouchTool <a href="http://www.bettertouchtool.net" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bettertouchtool.net</a> (free) and Alfred <a href="http://www.alfredapp.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.alfredapp.com</a> (free without the Powerpack). I start all programs with Alfred and use BTT taps&#x2F;movements on my trackpad to arrange&#x2F;resize windows. I used to fire up applications with spotlight but alfred feels much quicker + I can create lots of custom web search queries which I use all the time.<p>Loving this thread and the one from around two and a half years ago. I&#x27;m probably missing out on a few things as I&#x27;m still running 10.6.8.

when you pipe something to pbcopy, it doesn&#x27;t strip any trailing newline:<p><pre><code> echo hi | pbcopy </code></pre> pasting this would get you hi&lt;cr&gt;. so if you want to put the output of a command in the clipboard, you can do something like (where `find .` is your command):<p><pre><code> echo -n $(find .) | pbcopy </code></pre> that will take advantage of the fact that subshells discard a trailing newline (at least in bash, zsh. probably others..)

Neat. I didn&#x27;t know Apple still did this. Mac OS 7 and 8 hat <i>tons</i> of useful hidden features and modifiers. Having a keyboard key modify basic actions is such a benevolent way to increase productivity for power users without harming newbies. It&#x27;s also fairly easy to add.<p>I don&#x27;t understand why Linux desktops apps don&#x27;t do this more often. Or maybe they do and I just don&#x27;t know where to look.

Sometimes Stackexchange sites will close a thread, because it&#x27;s &quot;not a question&quot;. Sometime&#x27;s they won&#x27;t. Nitpicking, but this is not a question. (Still great answers, though.)

Select-all, cmd-c copy (in a document or terminal)<p>Select a word or symbol of interest, and cmd-e to get it in the find buffer.<p>$ pbpaste | fgrep -i `pbpaste -pboard find`<p>I have this aliased to pbg, so will typically pipe the output to awk or some such.

My favorite has to be ⌘+Space. It brings up Spotlight Search. I use it instead of the Dock to launch applications. It quickly adapts to your preferences. For instance, after a few tries, it will learn that you want Digital Color Meter when you type &#x27;dig&#x27;. So, you just type &quot;⌘+Space dig Return&quot;, and the app starts.<p>It&#x27;s also useful to look up words quickly in Dictionary and to evaluate simple arithmetic expressions.<p>That&#x27;s all in addition to its normal use: searching your machine

You realise how long you&#x27;ve been using a Mac when you know every single one of these, bar one (Opt+Clicking Menu Bar Extras)

A personal favorite is setting a hyper-fast key repeat via terminal:<p><pre><code> defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 0</code></pre>

Again, not really a hidden feature but one I was very happy to find: moving files via Finder using Cmd-C to &#x27;cut&#x27; and Cmd+Opt-V to &#x27;paste&#x27;. (I come from a Windows background and cutting and pasting using the keyboard is deep in my DNA).

Personally, I&#x27;m not a big fan of how Apple likes to hide useful features all over the place in OS X hidden behind completely non-discoverable modifier key + mouse click options or double modifier key + another key.

don&#x27;t know about hidden, but really useful is a three finger tap on a word to open a small dictionary popup.

Anyone know how to filter a list of files in a Finder window by a string?

How about the PRISM and hardware tracking built into iPhones?<p>edit: let the down votes commence, I&#x27;ve got some karma to burn.
