is there a way to switch between two windows within an application via the keyboard? for instance, between two instances of Terminal or two Chrome windows?
@Corey you could control-F3 to get an expose view of all your windows for the active application, then use the arrow keys to select the one you want and press enter
I don't know of a more direct way, but that doesn't mean that there isn't one
there are also some third party tools like Witch (manytricks.com/witch) that might also work for you
@bmike that sounds sensible. The fewer tags the better, I guess, unless there's an impact on rankings/results at/around stackexchange.com/search (which I haven't got my head around yet, and might not think about for some time).
Is the pale blue too pale?
I think so, but alternative answers will be appreciated.
Thank you

@VxJasonxV @AbbyTMiller seeing CoTweet mentioned, I should mention StatusNet, status.net … http://status.net/2011/03/04/statusnet-1-0-is-open-for-business-but-not-yet etc.. with Twitter post capabilities etc.
Stacks have their own twitter accounts, like http://twitter.com/StackUX. These accounts appear to just autotweet the latest interesting questions using the question's tags as hashtags. But there's a problem with this: Twitter is not an RSS feed that happens to have a 140 character limit. It's a p...
There is a twitter account with our name that has no tweets or followers and isn't following anyone. My fervent hope is that someone in the Ask Different community is squatting on it in case a use for it arises.

Personally, it's way too high volume. I know how to use RSS to track questions - for it to be of use to me, it needs to only call out the most interesting - controversial or outstanding trending questions.
Kind of like when the "little tips and tricks" went all hacker news crazy.
The human effort to post is what makes a twitter account special. Machine posting is dumb - but that's just one person's very limited and specific view.
Two parts to this question
Does Apple provide in Lion, Mac OS X 10.7 (Build 11A511) an API that might enable a third party developer to add a sidebar to iCal 5.0 (1535)?
If not provided by Apple: what would be the best starting point for a hack?
The first that comes to mind:
SIMBL — not sp...
@Nathan Totally agreed. If there were a consumer level plug in available (or that was the gist of the question) then perhaps it's in the spirit of the site here. But discussion on selecting the correct API or existence of an API seems really off topic here
If I were editing the FAQ - I would say if you are asking how to download or use Xcode on a basic level, it's fine here just like how to use Outlook or Mail or any other app here is on topic.
Off topic would be how to make something in Xcode that runs. That's clearly in dev territory. So other than the most cursory API questions might be better asked elsewhere.
@OctavianDamiean We've got some great mods here - and they really take pains to understand and not just shush newcomers away. I've never once seem them rule without explaining, being open to letting the "grey area" questions remain.
@OctavianDamiean hello and thanks. For clarity, it's this question from me that I wasn't sure about, might be better on SO: apple.stackexchange.com/q/19429/8546
(I'm not a dev; the simplest 1-2-3 answer to the question might come from a dev, or might come from a savvy user in the Ask Different area)
I am looking for a way to inject some more extensions into the OS X launch services database systematically so that when clicked, they execute in the terminal app just like .command files do by default.
Things like .ksh, .sh, and .csh would be nice to start, but I assume once I figure out how to...
@VxJasonxV there's this answer identi.ca/conversation/44138881#notice-44478818 but it is over a year old. No StatusNet gurus in IRC at the moment I might have to wait a little for a more current answer.
Money is no object. I want a bit for bit perfect copy of a hard drive/partition which is bootable (is either possible) to be used in a backup regimen.
I have heard of some tools but your recommendations with clear outlines of the features that make it useful for you as a backup solution would be...
@Nathan I appreciate the answer and thoughts. I've got to run, but might pen up something later today if I have time before the weekend starts. I'll certainly check back and value what anyone else here has to add for etiquette, suggestions or what they've seen work in this case.
