This may be a random feature from time to time…we stumbled across a couple of software releases this week, plus an app that just may change how you use your Mac forever (and by “forever,” we mean “as long as it takes to use computers as we know it until something comes out that we haven’t even heard of yet”).
Coda Comes to iPad
If you code for the web, Coda is often hailed as a light, easy-to-use alternative to DreamWeaver. I’ve used it off and on for several years now, and I concur. Panic, the developer, has now released Coda 2 for Mac ($49.99) and Diet Coda for iPad ($9.99).
Early reviews for Diet Coda seem to indicate that there are some features people would like to see, such as offline editing without a server, but Panic is a very responsive developer who no doubt is listening to what customers want. I’d give it a try if you’d like to take your code with you on your iPad!
CheatSheet Makes a Shortcut for Shortcuts
This app was brought to our attention by Ed, who you may remember as a longtime staple of Kibbles & Bytes. Once installed, CheatSheet displays the keyboard shortcuts on your Mac via a prolonged click of the Command key.
I found shortcuts that I didn’t even know existed—for example, I now can toggle my bookmarks through my keyboard! Note that you should have Universal Access enabled in your System Preferences.
