I want to create a keyboard shortcut to i.e. open Firefox while I am working in another application. I know I can use ⌘ CMD+T when I am in Firefox to open a new tab.   I haven't found a way to create that kind of shortcuts in System Preferences.  Any ideas?

Every time I type it the terminal flashes but doesn't insert it. If I paste in a command that has a [ it will paste everything except the ['s  This has been happening before I updated to 10.11, but has become a massive issue, I can't use jq at all because of it.  I also have the same issue with iTerm2.

Some keyboards have volume controls on them that can be pressed anytime to control the master volume.  My keyboard does not have that.  Is there a way that I can create a key macro that will work like the volume controls on those keyboards?  It should always allow me to control the volume, even if I'm playing a game.

iOS 13 delivered a a new “swipe to type” keyboard called QuickPath.  .  This is similar to the  on Windows Phones and the  for Android.    It’s enabled by default on the iPhone, but not on the iPad. How can I enable this useful feature?

This is all in iTerm2 on OS X.  I used to have  export TERM='xterm-256color'   in my .bashrc. This meant Vim in tmux did use 256 colors.  And once I added  set -g xterm-keys on   then keyboard shortcuts with modifiers worked fine in Vim. Namely: shift+left/right that I mapped to switch Vim tabs, ctrl+up/down that I mapped to move ("bubble") lines, and shift+left/right which worked out of the box to jump by word in the command-line mode (e.g. when typing something like :e foo bar baz).  However, this setup had the problem that the Vim background color only shows behind text, as mentioned .  So I removed  export TERM='xterm-256color'   from my .bashrc and instead put this in my .tmux.conf:  set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"   That fixed the Vim background color, but broke the keyboard shortcuts - they do unexpected things (move the cursor, delete text) instead.  By using ctrl+v to insert the verbatim output from the key combinations (as described ), I was able to work around it:  map [1;5A &lt;C-Up&gt; map [1;5B &lt;C-Down&gt; map [1;2D &lt;S-Left&gt; map [1;2C &lt;S-Right&gt; cmap [1;2D &lt;S-Left&gt; cmap [1;2C &lt;S-Right&gt;   This makes the shortcuts work, but it doesn't feel like the right solution. Could anyone tell me what's happening here and how to fix it?

I've recently begun to use iTerm2 instead of the macOS Terminal application and I'm really happy with it. I'm very used to use to exit command to close the instance that currently has focus. With instance I mean one of the following: Tab, Window or Split Panel.   How can I write a function exit that closes the instance that is currently running? The following workaround works for windows but neither for tabs nor for split panels:  function exit {     osascript -e 'tell application "iTerm2" to close first window' }   The solution should work with either zsh or bash.

I've been using mac for years, but prefer to do software development on windows. I'm really used to is using the folowing shortcuts on windows very much:  &lt;CTRL&gt;  + INSERT: Copy &lt;SHIFT&gt; + INSERT: Paste &lt;SHIFT&gt; + DELETE: Cut   Of late, I've taken to doing even my development work on the Mac. However, as a matter of habit, I'm missing these shortcuts very much. Actually, I find these a lot more convenient than COMMAND + (C/V/X) combo.  Is there a way to reassign these three shortcuts at least?   I've look all over the internet and in the "Keyboards" system preferences but I did not find anything.  PS: If you're wondering where I find the INSERT keys on a mac book pro, I use a wireless keyboard.

In Terminal, Option + click allows me to place my cursor at any point on the current line-- great for editing really long commands.  How can I do this in iTerm2?  Update: According to , the feature has been around since 0.7.0 (2003). I've also noticed that if I hold Command+Option, the cursor changes into the familiar cross like in Terminal...  but clicking still does not reposition my cursor.

I recently switched from Ubuntu, and I was feeling very comfortable with using Ctrl + Alt + T to launch terminal. Can I assign Shift + Cmd + T to do the same thing in Yosemite? Specifically, I want a new terminal window to be opened.

I'm moving across from Mac OSX and am quite used to using the Cmd-Q shortcut to quit apps. I appreciate that Linux is set up differently and that different apps have different shortcuts for quitting (e.g. some use Ctrl-Q while others might be Alt-Q, etc.). I'm currently using Ubuntu GNOME.  Would it be possible to create a standard keyboard shortcut for quitting all apps easily and safely in Ubuntu? I'm happy to use a third-party tool or do a bit of further digging.  M

Is there a keyboard shortcut to restore a minimised application window from the Dock?  Almost all Apple Mac OS X applications respond to the Apple + M command which minimises the current application window to the Dock, which is fine.  I can then use Command + Tab to cycle through my running applications - including the minimised application, but selecting the application with the minimised window neither restores the minimised window, nor sets focus to the minimised application window in the Dock so I can restore it without having to reach for the Mouse.  Update: Thanks for the answers, however the consensus seems to be to use the 'Hide' feature (Apple + H) instead of minimising, as it's easier to get the window back using Command + Tab.

How do I create a button on my taskbar along with the time and stuff that performs a specific task? I wanted to be able to disable and enable my keyboard with the help of a keyboard shortcut, but I realized that once I disabled my keyboard with a shortcut, I wouldn't be able to use the keyboard to enable it again. So, I want a button on my taskbar that does this for me with the click of a button, thus not requiring my keyboard. Thanks.

I am trying to setup a bunch of development projects in my Mac. I have to run various tools like python, ruby, scala, groovy etc.  To see if a tool is available I use options like   ruby --version.    Instead I would like to see all the list of tools available in Mac terminal via a single command. What is the command/options for it?

I wonder, isn't still there  an easy way to create a desktop shortcut in Ubuntu 14.04 (or Unity)? There is no context menu on desktop doing this.   So I tried the following: I looked for an app I want to create a shortcut for in the dash, then I tried to drag it to the desktop. And guess what? I got the error:

If I paste multiline chunks of text into iTerm2, I always a get mess of output. It seems limited to only some programs running interactively (such as Bash, IRB - Python / VIM work flawlessly). Using Apple's native Terminal, I can paste whatever I want wherever I want - it works. For example, this sample text ():  echo Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec a diam lectus. echo Sed sit amet ipsum mauris. Maecenas congue ligula ac quam viverra nec consectetur ante hendrerit. echo Donec et mollis dolor. Praesent et diam eget libero egestas mattis sit amet vitae augue. echo Nam tincidunt congue enim, ut porta lorem lacinia consectetur. Donec ut libero sed arcu vehicula ultricies a non tortor. echo Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean ut gravida lorem. Ut turpis felis, pulvinar a semper sed, adipiscing id dolor. echo Pellentesque auctor nisi id magna consequat sagittis. Curabitur dapibus enim sit amet elit pharetra tincidunt feugiat nisl imperdiet. echo Ut convallis libero in urna ultrices accumsan. Donec sed odio eros. Donec viverra mi quis quam pulvinar at malesuada arcu rhoncus. [snip]   pasted into IRB produces this in iTerm2:    while it produces this in native Terminal:    I am running the latest versions of OSX and iTerm2. What's going wrong here?

For some reason my custom shortcut for the System Monitor that I created according to this instruction does not work.   When I press it, it just does nothing. Any ideas?  My shortcut is ctrl+shift+esc.  Here is a screenshot:

I have broken the touch bar in my MacBook Pro 13". Only the ESC key keeps working.  Replacing the touch bar may be expensive so I'd like to know if it is possible to replace its functions with keyboard shortcuts.
