macOS 10.15 System Preference Panes

Below are a list of System Preference pane URLs and paths that can be accessed with scripting to assist users with enabling macOS security settings without having to walk them through launching System Preferences, finding panes, and scrolling to settings. Not all panes have an accessible anchor and some are OS specific.

To find the Pane ID of a specific pane, open the System Preferences app and select the desired Preference Pane. With the pane selected, open the ScriptEditor.app and run the following script to copy the current Pane ID to your clipboard and display any available anchors:

tell application "System Preferences"
	set CurrentPane to the id of the current pane
	set the clipboard to CurrentPane

ZSH CheatSheet

This is a cheat sheet for how to perform various actions to ZSH, which can be tricky to find on the web as the syntax is not intuitive and it is generally not very well-documented.

Strings

Get the length of a string	${#VARNAME}
Get a single character	${VARNAME[index]}

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

• -E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
• -l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

appinfo

A script for getting details of installed Mac apps. Like Get Info but faster and cooler.

Save the script below as appinfo somewhere in your path. Make it executable with chmod a+x appinfo. Then just run appinfo APPNAME to get info on any installed app.

In Tools | Options | Keyboard...

1. Add CTRL+W as a Global shortcut for Window.CloseDocumentWindow
2. Remove the CTRL+W shortcut for Edit.SelectCurrentWord

The caveat to this is if you are used to using CTRL+W to select the current word. If you do, find another shortcut that works for that.

USE AT OWN RISK

This was only tested on a 'partial' SentinelOne installation on the High Sierra beta, where SentinelOne was never allowed to enable it's kernel extension. (Some things failed while I was messing around with OS betas.)

This script is most likely outdated.

A lot happens in 2+ years, at this point there's a good chance this script will do more harm than good. Read the comments before using!
