Ackmate

An Aussie with a bad cough? Nope, just a really fast way of searching a Textmate project. From ack’s description:

ack is a tool like grep, designed for programmers with large trees of heterogeneous source code.

And ackmate lets you run ack from within Textmate. You can grab it here – if you like it, make sure you leave Mr Protocool a tip, too.

It’s frustrating to get on a machine that lacks your familiar keyboard shortcuts. So, mainly for myself – but also for anyone else who wants ‘em – here are my frequently used sets.

Notes:

  • The tilde (~) in the paths below indicate your home folder. (I love tildes. Mañana! Señor!)

  • There are a couple of paths below that include my language installation (en_GB). I don’t think these exist if you only have one language installed on your machine.

Flash

This file goes in here:

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS4/en/Configuration/Keyboard Shortcuts

Illustrator

Which goes here:

~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings

Photoshop

I’m currently trying out these keyboard shortcuts courtesy of Trevor Morris Photographics; they’re well-thought-out and well-documented.

Otherwise, my old faithful set is here:

Bang it in here:

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Keyboard Shortcuts

InDesign

And these guys live here (approximately – adjust depending on version and language if necessary):

~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 6.0/en_GB/InDesign Shortcut Sets

Final Cut Pro

~/Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Keyboard Layouts
