labs: fn v1.2.1. . .

The fn applet has been updated to work with OS X Mavericks 10.9+. OS X now has a different method for allowing an app like this to work, luckily the change is quite simple. When you first run v1.2.1 it should tell you that the app must be approved to allow an app to control your computer. In System Preferences/Security/Accessibility you can add apps manually if necessary.

labs: fn (Universal language). . .

fn

After getting a few different requests for the “fn” app in different languages than English, I put together a universal version that should work with all the standard languages included in OS X’s “Language & Text” System Preference pane.

fn languages

If there are any other questions for other languages, just let me know…

labs: fn & layout triggered by Magic Mushka. . .

touch me

Looking to get a little bit more friendly with that new Magic Mouse? Look no further.

I have been using BetterTouchTool since I got my hands on the Magic Mouse to be able to middle click in apps like Maya, Nuke, whatever. I actually asked the developer Andreas Hegenberg for very specific middle click functionality (being able to click with one finger in the center of the mouse and to have an adjustment for the exact parts of the mouse that would respond to it) and he came through 100% within 48hrs:

He has recently added many other types of gestures, and a favorite of mine, a single tap right on (or right above) the Apple logo. I have a few tools I have made to make my day to day workflow a little bit more efficient. fn & layout are simple workflow tools that promote laziness to its full extent and the Magic Mouse has managed to make them a little lazier!

labs: fn app…

fn

It’s great to be able to change your volume and brightness and whatever on the fly with your fn keys. It’s not so great when working in programs like Maya and After Effects, Nuke, or Shake where you really need those keys to act as normal fn keys, to change menu sets, and other things.

That is what “fn” is for. It simply Toggles “Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys” in Keyboard preferences.

This is how it works:

I like to keep it in my dock or finder toolbar so whenever I need to switch that preference I can do it quickly.
