Still finding out a useful way to configure global hotkeys. Here are screenshots of FastScripts menu, showing global and Finder-specific shortcuts.
Finder-specific scripts:
- Open Package Contents — Opens up a bundle like .app. The script is available here.
- Open Projects Folder — My custom AppleScript to open up
~/Projects, where I work a lot. - Open Terminal Here — Opens up Terminal and move to the directory where I’m currently in Finder. The script is available from here.
- Open TextMate Here — Open up TextMate and opens the directory/file with it. The script is available here.
- Select Regular Expression — Recently found. Seems useful. Daniel’s script.
- Show or Hide Invisibles — Show/Hide the dot files which are hidden by default in Finder. There are many scripts that does this on the net.
- SVN folder — AppleScripts from here. Testing if these are handy or not.
General scripts:
- Change Adium Status — My custom AppleScript that switches Adium Status between Available and Away.
- iPhoto Browser — An automator plug-in that shows iPhoto library. Available from here.
- Kill Dock and Dashboard — An AppleScript to save my life when Dock is dysfunctional. A simple script (i.e.,
do shell script "killall Dock"). - Open .. folder — the title says it all.
- Resize_Front Window — I’m not using this script as often as I expected. Just resizes the size of the window. For example, I need to my window I’m working on to the centre of the screen with specific width. My custom script.
- Restart Quicksilver — Another simple script does the following
do shell script "killall Quicksilver /usr/bin/open -a Quicksilver". - Update … folder — Two scripts: one for updating iTunes podcasts and the other for updating RSS feeds in NetNewsWire.
