Updating the locate database in Mac OS X


One of my favorite commands in Unix is "locate". It's useful to help find files through terminal - fast! After freshly installing Leopard, I realised that the database for the command had not been built.
`/var/db/locate.database': No such file or directory
No problem. To fix this simply run the command:
sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
After a few minutes the database will be created, and you can continue using terminal efficiently.

在 Mac 中要如何使用 page up/down 呢??

A great tip submitted by Kev: A quicker page down and page up! This is especially faster on portables and the new wireless iMac keyboard where you have to press "Function - down arrow" or "Function - up arrow" as a page down/page up. It works in a lot of applications, as long as you are not currently in a text box (it doesn't work in Pages for that reason). I tried it in Mail, Safari, Firefox and Camino and it was all fine. To go down, you can simply hit "Space Bar" and you can go up with "Shift - Space Bar". It works very well and it is, nearly all the time, so much faster. I actually use it on my full size keyboard. Thanks for the tip Kev!

Exposé includes three separate features for organizing windows:



  • The "All windows" feature shows all open and unhidden windows, shrinking their appearance so they all fit on a single screen. By default, this can be activated on older keyboards using the F9 key or by pressing F3 key on the newer Apple aluminum keyboards and the Macbook keyboard.
  • The "Application windows" feature shows all open and unhidden windows for the currently active application. Again, the windows shrink to appear on the screen together, but generally they shrink less because there are fewer windows in a single application compared to the system as a whole. During this mode, the user can conveniently cycle through windows of different applications by pressing the tab key. In the default preferences, this can be activated using the F10 key on older keyboards or by pressing Control F3on newer Apple aluminum keyboards and the Macbook keyboard.
  • The "Desktop" feature moves all windows off the screen, with just the edges of the windows visible at the side of the screen, giving the user clear access to the desktop. In the default preferences, this can be activated using the F11 key or by pressing Command F3on newer Apple aluminum keyboards and the Macbook keyboard.
