Hot Corner instead-I slam my mouse to the bottom right corner of my screen for quick Desktop access. “You should see my Desktop.” He makes frequent use of the F11 keyboard shortcut to show the Desktop, for easy dragging and dropping of files. I asked Marco if he employs any interesting strategies for keeping his apps, windows, and the like organized. The only apps in my own Dock are ones that I leave running all day long if I don’t run an app all day every day, I punt it from the Dock with prejudice. Various apps have taken up permanent residence in Marco’s Dock: Apple’s Mail, Safari, Messages, Calendar, iTunes, Terminal, and Xcode MacroMates’ $55 But every time I try switching to a side Dock, I get frustrated and wind up restoring it to the same (stupid) bottom position where it started. A compelling argument can be made for putting the Dock on the side: Apple’s displays are all widescreen, so making your Dock encroach on width instead of the comparatively smaller height makes sense. Like me, Marco leaves his Dock on-screen at all times-but his sits along the left side of his Mac.
