Setup Synergy+<\/a> so you can use your Windows mouse and keyboard on your Mac.\u00a0 It’s free.<\/p>\n Just think of your Mac screen like an extra monitor.<\/p>\n Note sure if you’ve heard but the Ctrl-X\/Ctrl-C\/Ctrl-V shortcuts are freakin’ backwards<\/strong> on the mac.\u00a0 (Don’t get mad Mac people, I just mean from a long-time Windows user’s point of view!)<\/p>\n To fix this, open the Synergy settings on the server side, which would be Windows, and set up the Mac target to reverse the Ctrl\/Alt buttons.\u00a0 (See pic above)<\/p>\n This makes the fix system wide, much better than just trying to fix Xcode specifically to do it.<\/p>\n Advantages of using Synergy:<\/p>\n Disadvantages:<\/p>\n Alternative methods:<\/p>\n There are free methods to get rid of that nasty acceleration, none of them really work, maybe the $$ ones do.\u00a0 Some 3rd party mouse drivers will do the job, but you have to OWN that mouse for it to work right.<\/p>\n You can also reverse the Ctrl\/Alt (Sorry, Command key, whatever) under keyboard preferences on\u00a0 the Mac side, but I seem to remember having a problem with doing it that way.<\/p>\n Install my MSVC key config. (Works fine with Xcode 3.x)<\/p>\n Download this<\/a>, unzip it, and place MSVC.pbxkeys<\/strong> in YourUserName\/Library\/Application Support\/Xcode\/Key Bindings.<\/p>\n Next, start Xcode and click Xcode->Preferences, select Key Bindings, then choose “MSVC” as your key binding set.\u00a0 Now Ctrt-Shift-F does project wide find, Ctrl-Shift-H does project wide replace, F5 does build and debug, Ctrl-` (tilde) will swap between source\/header and so forth.<\/p>\n It also remaps debugging keys, F10 will step over, F11 will step into, etc.<\/p>\n It’s not perfect though, it doesn’t seem to want to map a key twice, I can’t get F5 to also “Continue” while debugging.\u00a0 So that became F6.. consider this a good place to start from that you can further customize.<\/p>\n You’ve gotta websurf from your Mac once in a while, so install Firefox so you don’t have to deal with Safari.<\/p>\n Install Keyfixer<\/a>, a Firefox 3 plugin so pressing End or Home while editing text will actually do what you expected it to.<\/p>\n While you’re at it, you can fix it so your mouse’s forward and back buttons work properly in Firefox by using the hotkey mapper in Synergy on the server side:<\/p>\n (Map mouse button 4 to Ctrl-L and mouse button 5 to Ctrl-R)<\/p>\n Well, you can’t.\u00a0 The gold standard is of course TortoiseSVN<\/a> on Windows – but I can’t find anything close on the Mac yet, at least not for free.\u00a0 Yeah, I’m cheap like that.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.codedojo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/synergy_button_reverse-300x248.jpg\" "\\"synergy_button_reverse\\"")
