MacOS – El Capitan Terminal command to toggle clock between Analog and Digital

macos

Is there a terminal command that will toggle between the Analog and Digital clock in the menu bar?

Can do it via point-and-click, but would like to incorporate it into a script that prepares my computer for recording screencasts.

Best Answer

Make it analog: defaults write com.apple.menuextra.clock IsAnalog 1 && killall -KILL SystemUIServer

Make it digital: defaults write com.apple.menuextra.clock IsAnalog 0 && killall -KILL SystemUIServer

MacOS – Using Command-backtick (⌘-`) to toggle between windows

In MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra) I cannot get the Cmd-` to work at all unless the application itself has a menu command to cycle through windows. If it does, it probably uses that key code; if it doesn't have a key code but has a menu item, it's easy to add the key code in System->Keyboard->Shortcuts. If it does not have a menu for that, e.g. Safari, then I've found no way to cycle through windows. it does have a Next Tab command.

MacOS – Execute Terminal Command fails in BetterTouchTool. Why

I feel silly for not figuring this out myself, but I'll post it here in case anyone else is having a similar issue.

In Terminal, I can simply type this command and it works:

wemo switch Myswitchname toggle

But with the Execute Terminal Command in BetterTouchTool, it needed to be entered this way in order to work:

/usr/local/bin/wemo switch Myswitchname toggle
