How can I set environment variables for GUI apps in OS X Mavericks?

I’ve been struggling to get an app to run in OS X Mavericks. I finally was able to get it to run by drilling into the .app bundle and running the shell script directly. It seems that JAVA_HOME needed to be set. So I set it in my .profile in the shell, and everything works fine.

How to: Don't exit full screen when pressing escape in apps like Safari on Lion #answer #development #computers

Don’t exit full screen when pressing escape in apps like Safari on Lion

In OS X Lion, pressing the ESC key exits full screen mode. Unfortunately, and especially when using Safari, ESC is used for other functions, such as in Javascript keystroke event handling. I don’t want Lion to exit full screen mode when pressing escape, but I can’t find a place to disable that functionality.

Disable compressed memory in Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks?

Is there any way to disable memory compression in Mavericks? Ever since I upgraded, my Minecraft server has been using ludicrous amounts of CPU time and choking. I’d like to test without compressed memory to see if that might be the culprit.

Synergy on Mavericks (OSX 10.9) and enable assistive devices

Mavericks handles accessibility on a per-application basis, so instead of enabling assistive devices (option does not even exist) carte-blanche, the app which makes the request shows up in a list in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy where you can enable the access it’s looking for.

"Google Software Update would like to control this computer…" What?

For the first time (that I’ve seen), some piece of Google’s software updater is now asking for permission to control my computer.

This is running under Mavericks 13A598,…

How do you prevent the dock from switching monitors in OSX Mavericks?

In Mavericks, Apple introduced a “feature” where if you hover at the bottom of any screen the dock pops up on that screen.

This is disrupting my workflow as I am constantly having the dock pop up when I don’t want it to and then I have to go to another window and hover at the bottom for several seconds to get it to go away so…
