| - | ==== BetterTouchTool ==== | + | {{tabembed>wiki:software:macos:btt,wiki:software:macos:hyperswitch,wiki:software:macos:totalfinder}} |
| - | + | ||
| - | This is a paid application to enable customizing the behavior of all your Apple input devices (remotes, keyboards, mice, touchpads, etc.) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | It adds some important capabilities: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * Remapping the behavior of the green "zoom" button, so it maximizes the window, rather than switching to Apple's full screen mode. | + | |
| - | * Mapping three-finger taps and clicks to middle click, which is mega useful for opening webapges in new tabs. | + | |
| - | * Window snapping, which behaves like the Aero Snap feature built in to Windows since Windows 7. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | If you don't care about the input device stuff, the window snapping feature is available as a free app from the publisher. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== Hyperswitch ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | This allows Cmd+Tab to behave like Window Alt+Tab, meaning you can switch between open //windows// as opposed to open //applications//. This particular behavior of the OS X and MacOS app switcher has never made sense to me, and I've always used third-party applications to fix it. Hyperswitch complains about being an expired trial every time it launches (i.e. when you reboot), but if you let it check for updates, it will let you use it anyway. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | There is another option called Alt+Tab, but this app behaved oddly in Mojave when using TotalFinder, whereas Hyperswitch handles TotalFinder windows without issue. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ==== TotalFinder ==== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | This application was discontinued due to MacOS 11+ having an extraordinarily strictly locked-down OS. There is now free registration available, so you can activate the software. | + | |

| + | ==== UBar ==== | ||
| + | This enables a Windows-like taskbar, with buttons aligned to the left (yay muscle memory!), and various functions you'll appreciate if you're used to Windows. | ||
