Apple System Preferences URL Schemes

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

MacOS ScreenSharing on localhost only

Force recent MacOS to listen for screen sharing on localhost only, keeping SIP on

All the following has been validated on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

Problems

While there is a command line preference to accept only local VNC connections, that setting still doesn't prevent the daemon from listening to the wildcard address, and advertise the service on Bonjour. I haven't actually tried to see if it restricted anything in modern versions of the operating system, but here it is for reference:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist VNCOnlyLocalConnections -bool yes

Bulk remove iTerm2 color schemes.
# There was a day where I have too many color schemes in iTerm2 and I want to remove them all.
# iTerm2 doesn't have "bulk remove" and it was literally painful to delete them one-by-one.
# iTerm2 save it's preference in ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist in a binary format
# What you need to do is basically copy that somewhere, convert to xml and remove color schemes in the xml files.
