• You're using function keys wrong

  I've been doing this for >10 years with https://manytricks.com/butler/. Works great! You can also bind snippets of text, scripts, etc. I can't overstate how important it is to have a keyboard that groups function keys into "islands" of (generally) 4 so you can touch-type them. An ergonomics consultant once observed that the source of my neck pain was that I looked at the keyboard while typing. As a touch-typist, I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Maccy is an open source lightweight and searchable clipboard manager for macOS

  LaunchBar[0], which predates Alfred but is similar in function, also has a fantastic searchable clipboard manager. LaunchBar's manager includes a feature that I've not been able to find in any other clipboard manager: a push/pop stack. With this feature you can, for example, copy a bunch of different items from a web page on to the stack, then paste them sequentially in a web form and pop them from the stack so... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• What apps do you install on your MacBook Pro to improve performance and usability?

  LaunchBar is something I personally find a more useful and better considered tool than Alfred, though they're aimed at doing the same thing. It also comes with a great clipboard persister and manager. Every time you start doing things in LaunchBar, you can type a couple of letters to filter the list of candidates down, which means juggling a 100 item clipboard history becomes very easy to manage.

• What is the best clipboard archiving utility for macbook?

  Launchbar will persist up to 100 clipboard items, with full-text search and access. I use it constantly. The rest of Launchbar is horrendously useful - the best of the 'accessory' tools, IMO. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Launch HN: Superpowered (YC W21) – Calendar in your menu bar

  I tried out Superpowered and while it's more polished than its competitors, it has a few downsides other commenters have already touched upon (pricing, memory use, and personally, the name hits too close to home to Superhuman.) I've found that the best alternative is Slapdash. [0] Connect your calendar and then just hit cmd + J and boom -- Zoom is running. Many more connections are amazing as well, eg.
