[Mac] MacOS tools and applications #devtools

README.md

My setup and customization on MacOS, to make me more productive

Below are applications I install first thing on a new Mac. They have become a part of all my Macs and they are the first things I install on a new Mac

1. Chrome - Personal browsing
2. Arc - Corporate browsing
3. Google Drive - My personal documents sync
4. pCloud - Misc sync
5. Copy ssh keys into .ssh folder and test using https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/testing-your-ssh-connection
6. (If using dotfiles) Backup .zshrc other files and migrate dotfiles - https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles
7. Homebrew - package manager
   • /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
8. iterm2 - terminal (For Linux use Terminator)
   • brew cask install iterm2
   1. Press ⌘, under the “General” tab uncheck “Native full screen windows.
   2. In the “Profiles” tab select “Window” and then change the style to “Fullscreen.” This tells iTerm to open new windows in fullscreen mode. I hate the full screen animation, which can be disabled by disabling Native full screen checkbox in Settings->General->Windows
   3. Optionally, set the transparency and blur effects. I find enabling a little transparency helps me remember what’s on the desktop, while blur effect prevents desktop text from obfuscating the terminal’s output.
   4. Finally, in the “Keys” tab enable the system-wide show/hide hotkey. I use ⌘i (the mnemonic being i = iTerm). This conflicts with the italics shortcut in some apps, but that’s a tradeoff I can live with.
   5. Add keyboard shortcuts. Preferences→Profiles→Keys
      1. First click “+” to add a new shortcut.
      2. ⌘← (jump to beginning of line) Set the appropriate action: Send Hex Codes Enter the Hex codes: 0x01
      3. ⌥←Delete (delete previous word) Set the appropriate action: Send Hex Codes Enter Hex codes: 0x1B 0x08
      4. ⌘→ (jump to end of line) Set the appropriate action: Send Hex Codes Enter Hex codes: 0x05
      5. ⌥← (jump to previous word) Set the appropriate action: Send Escape sequence Enter Escape Sequence: b
      6. ⌥→ (jump to next word) Set the appropriate action: Send Escape sequence Enter Escape Sequence: f
      7. ⌘←Delete (delete line) Set the appropriate action: Send Hex codes Enter Hex codes: 0x015
      8. ⌘z (undo) Set the appropriate action: Send Hex codes Enter Hex codes: 0x1f
   6. Set name of profile by adding badge for specific profile based on kubernetes cluster
   7. Set working directory of profile as Reuse previous session's directory
   8. Import profiles using import json profiles
   9. Set unlimited scrollback in terminal tab
   10. Set shortcut key for each profile for easy switching
9. OhMyZsh - terminal utility
   • $ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

    4. edit ~/.vimrc and add the following line

       let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1
       

12. fzf - fuzzy search history of commands and files
    1. brew install fzf
    2. Add below lines in ~/.vimrc between plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged') and plug#end()

       " On-demand loading
       Plug 'scrooloose/nerdtree', { 'on':  'NERDTreeToggle' }
       " Plugin outside ~/.vim/plugged with post-update hook
