max os x split view resize window with keyboard? - macos

Is there a keyboard shortcut in El Capitan to resize the windows in Split View ? I know I can use the mouse for this, but I would be happy If I although can use the keyboard for this.

doesn't seem like this is an option according to the apple support site : https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204948 and everything I've tried :p If this is an important feature, there is a payware with keyboard shortcuts, http://splitscreenapp.com/

Chrome shortcut for hover : mostly for Grammarly

To use Grammarly in Chrome, I use keyboard to move to the misspell, then I have to use the trackpad to enable the Hover, so Grammarly can make the suggestion.
How can we use the keyboard (without mouse and trackpad) to do it (force hover)?
I would like to avoid trackpad as possible as I can.
My finger hurts after use trackpad.
Any approach that may work?
- maybe hidden shortcut from Grammerly, chrome extension, or Mac's shortcut or hidden settings.
Thanks.
Thanks :)

Shortcut to switch panes in Split View on El Capitan

El Capitan (?finally) provides a mechanism called Split View to Have two apps side-by-side in full screen mode.
I want to know if there exists, or how I'd go about implementing, a keyboard shortcut to switch/swap the panes while in Split View.
That is to say that the intended behaviour trigger is to take the left-pane and make it the right-pane and take the right-pane and make it the left-pane.
There is no keyboard shortcut for doing what you have stated, but u can just drag the left-pane towards the right side with you mouse on the menu bar.
Hope this helps!
Here is another partial solution. If you split your screen between two windows of the same program, e.g. Safari, then Cmd+` (backtick) will toggle between the two.
Caveats and Special Cases:
If for some reason this does not work, you probably don't have this shortcut enabled. The answer at https://superuser.com/a/187072 explains how to do this.
This was tested on High Sierra, but should work just the same on El Capitan, and so on.
When using split view for two terminal windows you can split between them with cmd + left/rigt arrow. I have not figured out a way to switch between windows when using split view with other applications though.
Also, if it is two different applications you can switch between them using cmd + tab

IntelliJ 12 fullscreen mode yosemite

Trying to achieve something that should be quite easy, activating the full screen mode in intelliJ12 on a mac with Yosemite.
I can only maximise the windows (green window button with the +) but it's not running in full screen ( like any other app with the double arrow green button).
I have been searching quite a while for a solution, tested the shortcut cmd ctrl F did nothing and in view menu ain't got anything related to full screen.
Thanks in advance.
As far as I know, v12 doesn't support the OS X fullscreen feature, you have to upgrade to v13 at least.
If you wanna stay at the old version, just try this Fullscreen plugin, hope it works.

TextMate: Shortcut for switching focus between editor and project drawer

I'm looking for a shortcut for switching focus between editor and project drawer in TextMate. I googled a bit with different results, but none of the shortcuts is working for me:
http://dirtystylus.com/2007/10/26/toggling-between-main-window-and-drawer-in-textmate/
http://gtdmarc.blogspot.de/2008/06/some-useful-textmate-shortcuts.html
This link suggest installing the MissingDrawer Plugin, but but that's not the solution I'm looking for.
I have OS X Lion 10.7.3 and TextMate 1.5.10 on a MacBook Pro with a German keyboard layout.
The shortcut in TextMate 2 (using a spanish keyboard) is ctrl + tab.
The official answer is in the docs:
⌘` ⌘~ Switch to the next/previous window. This keyboard shortcut is based on the physical location of the key so on many European keymaps it is instead ⌘< and ⌘> (it is the key to the left of the Z).
⌥⌘` ⌥⌘~ Switch between main window and drawer. Like the previous key this one is also based on physical location. The function is not available on Panther.
EDIT
Both have been working for me on my french keyboard but not how the docs said: neither ⌘+< nor ⌘+> did work but ⌘+` did. YMMV.
ENDEDIT
Just found it, it's ⌘+⌥+<.
In 2.0-beta cmd+alt+tab works fine. It's equivalent of Navigate->Move focus to file browser

Can I use the Cocoa-touch onscreen keyboard in a regular Cocoa application?

I currently have a program written in Cocoa and I would like it to have an onscreen keyboard as I am thinking of using a touch-screen monitor and would like to not have a keyboard for this particular piece of software.
I know there is an onscreen keyboard in Cocoa-touch, but as far as I am aware, that can only be used on the iPhone, iTouch and iPad.
Is there anyway I can use it in a regular Cocoa application?
Thanks
UIKit isn't part of Mac OS X, unfortunately, so you can't use anything from it. There is an onscreen keyboard that you can enable in the system's Language & Text preference pane, but I don't know how you'd do it programmatically. If this is a major requirement for your system, though, it would probably be better to roll your own. OS X is not really designed for touchscreens and has just recently gotten the most rudimentary support for touch-y interaction (thanks to the Magic Mouse and the MacBooks' trackpad).
Unfortunately, the on-screen keyboard is part of UIKit, which is only available on iOS. The only (hacky) option that I'm aware of would be to run your app in the iPad simulator. Not ideal, for sure and I'm not sure how the simulator handles a multi-touch capable display.
