![]() ![]() Pin Your WindowĪnother little gem from XtraFinder is a pin-able window. Here you can assign shortcuts for Delete permanently, Copy to…, Open in new window, Collapse All, and more. The Add items to Finder menus tab in Preferences lets you assign a lot of shortcuts. ![]() Now, select the files in question, invoke the keyboard shortcut and the files will be moved/copied to the adjacent folder, just like you specified. From the General tab in Preferences, scroll down and assign keyboard shortcuts to Move to other panel and Copy to other panel. Here you’re free to easily drag stuff over and manage things.īut this can be even easier. ![]() You can now see contents of both folders side by side. To invoke the real dual pane mode, first open the two folders/directories you wish to manage. The one we’re talking about here shows the contents of two tabs in the same Finder window.Ī second dual pane mode just puts two Finder windows side by side. One of the best features of XtraFinder is the dual pane mode. Cmd + Shift + N opens the most recently closed tab. The Shortcut Cmd + T opens a new tab, Cmd + N opens a new window. Detach them from the title bar to create a new window and Cmd + Click a folder to open it in new tab. Now, tabs will show up in Google Chrome style. You’ll see more features here as well, like remembering tabs when closing Finder, using Cmd + Number shortcuts for switching to a particular tab and more. Once the app is installed and open, go to the menu bar utility and click Preferences. Although it would be nice to have GUI option and an option to use Comand + K to connect to SFTP shares.Read on to find out how to get the most out of the app. But then again OS X is a good old BSD with a regular shell in the Terminal app where you can mount volumes as you’d like. Oh yeah, and on a geeky side note – I have a little problem with the missing SFTP support in Finder, and as I can see there are no possibilities to extend Finder’s URI schema support. And Retina display – don’t get me started on this one – after a month working with this baby, I think that every other display is an old CRT. In overall OS X is a great product with a nice UI and lots of lots of neat apps right from the beginning. Solution – please keep some consistency in Finder and file dialog libraries – allow me to use the dialog the same way as I use Finder. Windows and Ubuntu users are used to hit enter to open folders, but as OS X is a pointer or touch centered OS, this keystroke is reserved for rename command … but not in a file open/save dialog! You can create a new folder, but You can’t even rename it with a slow double click or a context menu. Next up – The classic “Hit Enter to rename”. Rest of the fingers – well there are plenty of interesting gestures to use already and they can be consolidated to lessen finger usage (like full-screen swipe with 4 fingers, can be reduced to 3, etc.).Double finger swipe right and left – scroll or back and forth when scroll has reached the end (Just like Safari!).Double finger swipe up and down – natural scroll (or unnatural depending on users preference).Single finger swipe – control the cursor.I think the most logical touch gestures in the whole system should be like this: You can use double finger swipe to the right to go back in the Safari, iTunes or Xcode, but you have to configure (!!! not enabled by default) three finger swipe to the left (!!!) to go back in Finder. Seriously guys, can’t you agree on a single user experience in all the apps.įirst things first – a simple navigation back and forth. I’m talking about two particular things – trackpad mouse gestures and keyboard commands. It’s like there are no communication between those developer teams, or no global guidelines of user experience in the company’s code of conduct. All the preinstalled apps, like iMovie, Pages, Mail and Maps – they are a great set of products made to be useful from the very first boot.īut after a month of using the brand new Yosemite (and Mavericks some few months before that) I’ve collected some annoyances, some things that are not that well thought out or transitioning between different apps. It’s changed to something really good – and I can agree with everyone who has switched to OS X, that it just works. So I’ve got a Mac – after 18 years of PC I’ve finally returned to the wonderful world of Apple – It has changed a lot since the last time I was there (it was Mac OS 7 & 8 back then). It’s been a while since I’ve posted something larger than a tweet. ![]()
