Video: Taking Screenshots On Your Mac Posted: 23 Aug 2013 12:29 PM PDT Hey, There is a new video on the MacTricksAndTips video channel. It goes back to something a bit more basic, screenshots. Screenshot functionality on the Mac OS X system is far more advance than the window counterparts. This is a basic video that explains the methods of taking full screen screenshots and shots of selected parts of the image. It also goes into taking screenshots of applications windows. The final part of the video is a brief discussion on copying these images to the clipboard. You can watch the video below, if you cannot view it for any reason you can watch it directly on YouTube. It is Command + Shift + 3 for fullscreen and Command + Shift + 4 for a selection window.  If you want to get the latest videos subscribe.

View The Most Used Commands Within Terminal Posted: 23 Aug 2013 11:12 AM PDT Hey, I frequently use Terminal for the various tips and tricks on this site. Today’s post (e-mailed in by a reader) is a quick Terminal command which you can use to find out which Terminal command you have used the most often. This trick is a great way of seeing which command you are using frequently, and if you need to add it to a shortcut. It won’t give you the full command, but it will however give you the main bit. For example if you use the cd command to change directory, it will list cd rather than the files listed under the cd command. To use this command open up Terminal. Copy and paste the following into the dialogue box and hit enter. history | awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | sort -rn | head -20 A second later it will output the top twenty commands used within Terminal. If you want to see more or less commands, alter the number at the end of the command to however many you want. The output is quite useful to see. My most used commands are crush, for reducing images sizes, change directory and the defaults command for changing preferences. None of these come as a surprise. The command will also list the number of times it appears. This command searches through your history. So if you have recently deleted your history or don’t have many entries, the output will be quite sparse.
