Hello everyone, I'm on my first Mac. Got one of the new iBooks. I switched from Windoes and Linux, though I will still be using Windows at the office.
There are a few basic things I haven't been able to figure out yet. If you could help me out, or point me to a good source to find answers to these questions, and more like them, I would appreciate it!
1. In Windows you can alt+click-drag to move windows around, without necessarily selecting the 'title bar'. Handy for moving windows that have 'gone off the top' of the screen. How do you do this in MacOSX?
2. I have been looking for a decent, free, email client, other than the one that came with my mac.
3. Looking for a freeware sftp client.
4. Are there any free HTML editing tools that you would suggest?
5. Is it possible to customize the look and feel of the terminal app? change font colors etc? Are there 3rd party terminal apps available? (ie. eterm aterm xterm in linux.)
6. I discovered CodeTek Virtual Desktop. Pretty cool stuff. Are there any other programs that serve the same function that people use?
7. Keyboard shortcut to minimize all apps on the desktop? (like 'windows + D' in Win)
8. It's cool... nothing personal... but how do I stop the windows from animating so dramatically when I minimize/maximize them?
Any other 'must have apps' that you would recommend?
Thanks
So far I have been pleased with this machine and OS btw! Looks promising!
