Developing under Mac OS X : The keyboard…

16/04/2009

Mac OS X is cool but where are my special characters I need while developing??? Here are some keys combinations which are (quite) useful :

  • | is under OPTION+SHIFT+L
  • { is under OPTION+( and } is under OPTION+)
  • [ is under OPTION+( and ] is under OPTION+)
  • \ is under OPTION+SHIFT+/
Should be easier now…

From Linux to Mac OS X – Tip 1 : The Aliases

11/03/2009

Here are a serie of tips when developing under Mac OS X after mostly 8 years in the Linux word.

First tip : The aliases in the Terminal (because I really think that the Terminal is cool :o ) )

1. Create a .profile file in your $HOME folder
cd $HOME
touch .profile

2. Add aliases in this .profile file
pico .profile
and then syntax is alias foo=’bar’. For example, here are some of my aliases :
alias tx=’open /Applications/TextEdit.app/’
alias mvn2=’/Users/chamerling/Developpement/bin/mvn/apache-maven-2.0.10/bin/mvn’
alias meclipse=’mvn2 eclipse:eclipse’
alias mpetals=’mvn2 archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://petals.ow2.org’
