Let us see how this goes.

Convert nested folders of files with pandoc

find . -name \*.md -type f -exec pandoc -o {}.txt {} \;

Runs pandoc on all files with a .md suffix, creating a file with a .md.txt suffix. (You will need a wrapper script if you want to get a .txt suffix without the .md, or do ugly things with subshell invocations.) {} in any word from -exec to the terminating ; will be replaced by the filename.

Keyboard Shortcuts for macOS and macOS Software

In addition to helping me remember the shortcuts, this list helps me prevent collisions when I'm trying to think up a new shortcut for a new program. "OS" shortcuts are built-in by Apple. "Standard" shortcuts are typically the default ones by whoever made the software. "Custom" shortcuts are the ones I make for myself, modifying OS or Standard shortcuts.

Software	Function	Key Combination	OS/Standard/Custom
Alfred	Search	⌥ ␣	Standard
Chrome	Go to next tab	⌃ ⇥	Standard
Chrome	Go to previous tab	⇧ ⌃ ⇥	Standard
Chrome	Go to tab	⌘ 1, ⌘ 2, ⌘ 3...	Standard

Run this command in a terminal to add spaces to the Dock.

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}'; killall Dock

One space is created each time it is run. You can move the spaces around and even delete them just like an app; by clicking and draggging.

You need only one tiny command to start a web server from any directory through OS X's terminal. Just navigate to the directory you want to use and enter the following command:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

You may want to change the port if you already have something running on 8000.

This terminal command will restart the Launchpad and it will reload everything, with the default Apple stuff on the first page and following pages filled alphabetically.

defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true; killall Dock
