If not, you can open the FlashFrozen menu and choose Kill Flash Plugin. If you know which site is responsible, you can just close the tab or window it’s in. If your browser (Safari, Chrome, or Firefox) is bogging down, a glance at the menu bar will tell you whether or not Flash is causing the problem: A dimmed icon means no Flash content is currently loaded a black one means Flash content is loaded but not using much of your processor red means Flash is using 30 percent or more of your CPU’s capacity. Still, if you find Spotlight wanting, Find Any File could be the tool you need.-Dan Frakesįormerly known as BashFlash, FlashFrozen ( ) uses a systemwide menu-bar icon to indicate how much of your CPU Flash is using. The only downside is that Find Any File can’t search the contents of files, as Spotlight can.

Because Find Any File uses the file system’s search features, it can be faster than Spotlight for some searches it can also find some files that Spotlight can’t. You choose a location to search (specific disks, servers, or folders), then enter your criteria (which can include name, modification or creation date, size, type, and more).

This is one of those apps that solves one very specific problem, but it’s one that many of us have Caffeine provides a clean and simple solution.-Dan Frakesįind Any File ( ) will remind veteran Mac users of the search interface in the classic Mac OS. If you Control-click the icon, you can activate Caffeine’s no-sleep feature for set amounts of time, after which your Mac automatically returns to its normal Energy Saver behavior. Click on the coffee-cup icon in the menu bar and your Mac will stay awake to revert to Energy Saver’s normal settings, just click the cup again. Caffeine ( ) solves that problem by temporarily overriding those settings. You know it’s happened to you: You’re watching a video or giving a presentation on your Mac, and you haven’t touched the keyboard or mouse in a while, and suddenly the screen dims (or your screensaver starts) because your Energy Saver settings kick in.

It’s full of handy bits of software that do one thing or another very well and make your computing life just a little easier. That solution was hacky, and broke on 10.While the Mac App Store might be particularly suited to big apps like Adobe Creative Suite or Microsoft Office, it’s the perfect home for little utilities.

Originally I had an 'Edit in WriteRoom’ input manager plugin that I Someone to take it over, but I’d love for help on fixing the aboveĪnd, just out of curiosity: what inspired you to write QuickCursor in the first place? There has been some interest in submitting bug fixes, but no one has Have any developers expressed an interest in taking on the project since you open sourced the code?
Quickcursor free#
I may get back to it, but since it’s free and I’ve got lots of work toĭo on my for pay projects, it’s been sitting on the back burner. Anyway, I couldn’t get it working, so I got frustrated and dropped the project for a while. The text doesn’t show up on the pasteboard in time, or something like that. This seems like the perfect solution, since it should work in many more places, but when I tried I ran into odd timing issues. I recently had a brainstorm that instead of accessing the textĭirectly with the accessibility API, I could instead use theĪccessibility API to just invoke copy/paste in the source app, to get

That generally works OK, but it fails in some important cases, The current version of QuickCursor uses the AccessibilityĪPI. An issue with all of these ‘edit in…’ solutions is that they never work in all places. I was working on an updated release, but I ran into some technical problems and I’ve sorta left it behind for now. I’d like to, but it’s been pushed back a bit by other projects. Read on for a brief Q&A with QuickCursor developer Jesse Grosjean.Īre you planning to develop QuickCursor further? The commit messages on GitHub suggest you may be the product page says not… I use it most as a bridge between Notational Velocity and WriteRoom. QuickCursor doesn’t work with every application–Mail.app and Chrome being notable exceptions–but it works with enough of them to be very useful indeed. QuickCursor allows you to edit text from any application in your favorite text editor.
