Re: [OS X] How do I...

1. Most of the time, return presses the glowing button, Commad+period will cancel.

If you need more control than that, go into System Prefs, then Keyboard and Mouse, then Keyboard shortcuts. Turn on Full Control for Full Keyboard access and it will act similarly to windows.

2. Open Keychain Access, go into the Prefs, and turn on the Keychain Access Menu item. There's an option in the Keychain menu to lock the screen.

3. You can do this via terminal, but I never really noticed it working too well. Google "renice" or "nice" for UNIX if you want to look into it more.

Unfortunately, suggestion 1 didn't work like I had hoped. Oh well. Suggestion 2 rocks. As for 3, if you don't believe it works well then I won't bother with it.

i think with #1, if you enable full keyboard access (keyboard and mouse prefs) you can change the setting to all controls

This seems pretty obscure... how did you find it?

MacWorld posted it in a tips section a long time ago, that's how I knew about it.

too bad Apple hid that... seriously that's like on the same level as MS when it comes to hiding stuff...
