Open Script Editor from Finder… | November 1, 2007

It seems for whatever reason you can open the Script Editor from the Finder with the [cmd]+[shift]+[8] keyboard shortcut. Not sure why this key binding is there, I haven’t found any documentation about it, but it seems too specific to be an accident.

11/14/2007: Turns out this is mapped… from the Services menu… should have looked there I guess. This was pointed out to me from Rob Griffiths of macosxhints.

Stupid Hint of The Day | November 1, 2007

Another one for the Dock. If you hold down the [ctrl]+[shift] keys while you drag your mouse over the dock, the dock will use magnification if it’s turned off in the dock preferences. If Magnification is turned on this trick will prevent magnification. I could see this being useful if you normally keep magnification off and have as extraordinarily large number of open apps that shrink your dock to an uncomfortably small size.
