There used to be a way where if you opened an app in Full Screen and then quit, it would reopen in full screen. However in Yosemite, I don't know how to do this for full screen apps. Is there a way to do this in Yosemite?

I quite like using full-screen apps on OSX Mavericks (Safari, iTunes, Mail, etc).  I'd like all apps that are capable of running full-screen to launch in full-screen mode automatically, instead of me having to press Ctrl-Cmd-F each time, is that possible?

I am having a weird issue with a machine where sometimes when a window is initialized, it will shoot off screen and out of sight. I am unable to click on it to drag it back to sight.   Are there any programs or fixes for this in Windows XP?  I know Windows and other programs like to save window locations after they close so when you reopen them they are in the spot where they were closed and I cannot see any of these windows that were closed off screen.

Can someone tell me how I can get an overview of all the open windows? Like htting ctrl+s that shows all the desktops, but for the open applications?  Right now when I hit Alt+Tab it shows quite small tiles in the middle of the screen, is it possible to have all the windows fill all the screens? (Kind of like expose in OSX)  I have compiz installed, and "static application switcher" selected, but this doesn't have the result I'm looking for (and neither does "Application switcher".  Any ideas?

I am trying to take a screenshot of a YouTube video in fullscreen.  When I pause the video and wait a moment, only the bottom UI bar (play/pause/seek) disappears. The top UI bar (Like/Share/More Info) stays there.  So when I press PrintScreen on the keyboard, the screenshot is polluted by this top UI bar. Is there any way to remove it while the video is on pause?

I cannot find any menu or keys that return blender to the view that you see when you start blender. Using save close and then open again but it must be easier than that?  How do you change the view from side or front, or back to the view that is enabled by default at start?

I have recently switched back to Mac after Linux Mint and there is one thing I find very cumbersome:  In fullscreen mode the menu bar at the top goes into auto-hide mode, so it animatedly rolls down when I pull the mouse up to the top. My issue is that, this happens pretty slow. There is a 0.5s delay and then the animation starts to roll the menu bar down. I know it doesn't sound a lot but in practice it gets annoying when I multitask and trying get tasks done fast.   Is there a way to remove the delay and trigger the animation instantaneously?  Also, is there way to make the animation faster, or perhaps disable it?   Yosemite 10.10.04

How can I change change screen resolution using AppleScript? If AppleScript can't do it, what about Terminal?  I tried with examples at , but they don't work anymore. I'm on MacBookPro Retina.  This is how the script definitively should start:      tell application "System Preferences"         activate         reveal anchor "displaysDisplayTab" of pane id "com.apple.preference.displays"     end tell     tell application "System Events"         tell application process "System Preferences"           -- insert magic         end tell     end tell   Now I just need to click on "Scaled" and select different display resolutions, but I don't know how these buttons are "called".

How can I make a Click-once deployed app run a startup?  The best option I found by searching was to set the Publisher on the app to Startup, so the Start menu shortcut would be placed in the Startup folder, but that seems like a huge hack and I would like there to be a Start menu icon people can find.  What options do I have?

I've been using Windows forever, but one thing that has annoyed me is how hard it is to terminate misbehaving full-screen applications. In Linux, I can just switch over to terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and use the terminal to forcefully close a misbehaving program. In Windows, this seems to be only possible using task manager. If a frozen window is set to stay-on-top and full-screen mode, Alt+Tab and Alt+F4 don't work and I can't even use the Task Manager. If I had important work in the background, say, and I'd forgotten to save it, I can't just restart the computer!  What do you do in this circumstance?

Upgraded from Lion to Mavericks and now when quitting any app, MAMP is always grabbing the focus instead of the previously opened app e.g. open MAMP, open Safari, open TextWrangler, quit TextWrangler, MAMP has focus instead of Safari. This was working fine in Lion. Anyone seeing similar behaviour or know how to fix it?

I'm using Windows 8.1, which has much better multiple monitor support than Windows 7 (sort of). However when I'm in a full-screen app on one monitor, and I go to the Start menu on the other and open a desktop app, it opens on the opposite monitor because of it being on that one last time the app was used.  This suspends the full-screen app and switches to the desktop view on that monitor. I then have to drag the desktop app to the other monitor which I didn't have my mouse pointer near in the first place, then switch back to the full-screen app on that monitor by going to the upper-right corner.  This is so incredibly irritating, every time I plug in my laptop to my second monitor and try to use it, this happens. Not to mention whenever I have Netflix or any kind of video in the second monitor and it just randomly stops playing when I'm trying to work on the other screen.  Most likely there is going to have to be a third-party application to install to do this, right? I would really prefer if it was free, as this was less annoying in Windows 7 when the application would only open on top of the other that was on that monitor. This is one of the maybe two annoying things I don't like about Windows 8/8.1. Everything else is fantastic, to be honest.

It seems that Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard has a tendency to leave some windows off-screen at times, especially when I disconnect an external monitor from my MacBook. How can I move the window back on-screen when it's not possible to grab the title bar and drag it back onto the screen?   recommends adjusting your screen resolution downward to have off-screen windows "snap back into view" and then adjust your screen resolution back to its original setting. In OS X 10.4 Tiger, I had a script that brought all off-screen windows back on-screen, but in my upgrades to Leopard and now Snow Leopard, I don't seem to have that script.  Any better solutions out there?

I watch instructional videos that play in Silverlight such as the ones at .  I watch them in full screen on my left monitor.  While the video is playing, I want to be able to type notes in a text editor on my right monitor.  However, as soon as I press a key, the video exits full screen mode.  How can I force the Silverlight player to stay in full screen mode even as I type in another application?

I work with two screens. On the primary screen, I have XCode on. On the other screen, I have the browser. While reading docs, I am usually focused on the XCode screen, typing in code.  So I want to close the tab in the other screen, I move my mouse to the 2nd screen and press CMD+W and it closes the XCode window instead because the focus is on that app. Sometimes I don't notice that the focus isn't on the other screen and close the app on the main screen instead. It's pretty annoying.  Is there any way to make the OS focus on the top window of the screen where the mouse pointer is active?

What is the keyboard shortcut to maximize a window on OSX? I'd like to know the shortcut that is equivalent to double clicking on the window title. I do not want to make the window full screen.

I have an application using multiple windows. How can I quickly bring all the windows of that application to the foreground?   When I scroll through the applications with the scroll-wheel it only shows one window. When going to the next window, the last window is brought to the background again.  When I click on the application icon, I get a full-screen overview of all the windows. I have to select each window manually and move my mouse across half the screen several times.  My best solution so far is minimizing all windows (Ctrl+Super+D) and then show the windows of my application using the scroll-wheel.  Is there a better solution?
