Tips for Dock
- Adding spacer/separators to dock best way to keep things organized
add this lines to terminal app then hit enter;
Wide Spacer
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}'; killall Dock
Small Spacer
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="small-spacer-tile";}' && killall Dock
Here is my organized dock
-
CMD click on dock icon reveals app file in finder
-
ALT click on dock icon hides other windows but not works great
-
Resize dock from separator (next to left side of trash), click, hold and move cursor to up or down
- Change most used settings of dock with right clicking on separator next to left side of trash
Future Plans
- Support for more apps & gestures
