On my mbp, I open xterm under X11 and I want to paste from the clipboard. However, command+v doesnt work and there isnt even an option from the edit menu. Is this not possible? If it is, how do I enable it?
Alt + left mouse click should do the job if the button mouse emulation has been enabled.
And for some more details check this out http://hintsforums.macworld.com/archive/index.php/t-18272.html.
Have you tried the Pasteboard settings in X11? Also, a lot of keyboard shortcuts for X11 actually use ctrl instead of Command (like in GIMP and Inkscape).

Secondly, is there a reason that you're using Xterm instead of Terminal?

I want to disable beep sound in terminal. Im not able to find an option to disable the beep sound in preferences. Could you please help me out?
-cherryhitech
UPDATE:
In 10.12 the setting is in Terminal > Preferences, Profiles > Advanced.
In OS X Leopard (10.5 and later)
Open Terminal.
On the menu go to Terminal > Perferences.
Open Settings > Advanced
Un-check the "Audible Bell" option. (You can also set "visible bell" which will cause your terminal to flash instead of beep)
In OS X Tiger (10.4 and earlier):
Open Terminal.
On the menu go to Terminal > Window Settings.
In the Terminal Inspector window click on the drop-down list and select Emulation.
Un-check the "Audible Bell" option. (You can also set "visible bell" which will cause your terminal to flash instead of beep)

This may seem like a silly question, but how do I recenter the active program, or get it back on my screen when I can't click it?
Sometimes when I run skype and switch between resolutions for full-screen programs, the skype window disappears off screen, and I have no way of dragging it back.
Does anyone know how to fix this without restarting the program?
Alt+Tab until the desired window is active.
Try the following shortcuts:
Win+Left: Fills left half of display with active window.
Win+Right: Fills right half of display with active window.
Win+Up: Maximize
Win+Down: Minimize or reset to window size prior to maximize.
NOTE, the above is for Windows 7. I haven't tested it on other OS's.
Not sure if it will work on earlier versions.

I am using a monitor and a laptop. Currently the desktop appears on the laptop screen and the monitor is the extended desktop. I want it to be the other way around but I can figure out how to do this. Is is possible to configure it so the desktop appears on the monitor and the laptop screen is the extended screen? I am using windows 7 by the way.
There is an option on the settings to set a monitor as your primary. Check that for the monitor. Your taskbar will move to this.
Right click desktop and select "Screen Resolution".
Click Identify to show numbers on screens.
Click the correct screen on the window corresponding to the monitor.
Check "Make this my default display" if not checked.
Right click your desktop and select "Screen Resolution". Select your external monitor (will usually be #2), and click the check box that says "Make this my main display", and press Apply. That should make your external monitor your primary, and move the taskbar over.

In Firefox (as well as in Chrome), if you hold down the shift key while clicking a hyperlink, it causes the link to be opened in a new window. Similarly, if you hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a hyperlink, it causes the link to be opened in a new tab.
I was wondering if there is a setting in Firefox that I could change to disable this functionality? (i.e. if you hold down shift or ctrl while clicking a link, that it opens the link in the current tab and does not open it in a new window or new tab.)
I looked in the about:config area but couldn't find anything that could achieve this.
If anyone knows how to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

I can follow this script to show or hide hidden files on a mac, it works. Is there a way to add an icon to the finder window that on click toggles this functionality?
http://www.techiecorner.com/153/how-to-show-hidden-files-in-finder-mac-os-x/
Some ideas:
Make a double-clickable AppleScript file with above commands and
drag the icon into your sidebar or top window bar. This article might help.
Use the Secrets PrefPane to un/set Finder → Show hidden files
Use the hiddenfiles Dashboard Widget
