Shell, editor and terminal configuration, and the tools that go with them https://git.soarez.net/sz/dot.git/atom?h=master 2026-09-27T07:14:30+00:00 2026-09-27T07:14:30+00:00 Igor Soarez igor@soarez.org 2026-09-27T07:14:30+00:00 urn:sha1:bf177c58da897dbd084cc1fe8e6ebd9b61b85830 Three settings this account has always set by hand on every new Mac, now in the script that exists for exactly that: the bottom-right hot corner sleeping the display, tap to click, and three-finger drag on an external trackpad -- the last a gap, since the script set it only for the built-in one. Each of those is written in more than one place because macOS keeps them in more than one place: an external Magic Trackpad has its own domain, and the login window reads com.apple.mouse.tapBehavior rather than either of them, per-host for this machine and globally for any other. Setting one and not the others is why tap to click sometimes survives a reboot and sometimes does not. bin/macos-defaults-diff is the general answer: snapshot, change one setting, and it prints what moved, including the -currentHost domains a plain `defaults read` never shows. It flushes cfprefsd first, since a change made seconds earlier can otherwise be missing from the read meant to reveal it, and it says plainly when nothing changed -- anything behind Privacy & Security lives in the SIP-protected TCC database and cannot be scripted at all.
