Howdy howdy, NSHipsters!

If you alloc init an NSCalendar, you'll notice that New Year's Eve falls on a Monday this year, a.k.a. "the day NSHipster is published every week". What fun!

So in celebration of the upcoming year++, I thought it'd be fun to compile a list of some of your favorite tips and tricks of the trade. Submit your favorite piece of Objective-C trivia, framework arcana, hidden Xcode feature, or anything else you think is cool, and you could have it featured in the year-end blowout article. Just comment on this gist below!

Here are a few examples of the kind of things I'd like to see:

• StaticObjcMethods from [Apple]((http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/CocoaTipsAndTricks/Introduction/Intro.html): Demonstrates how to use static Objective-C m

# Mac OS X Lion introduced a new, iOS-like context menu when you press and hold a key
# that enables you to choose a character from a menu of options. If you are on Lion
# try it by pressing and holding down 'e' in any app that uses the default NSTextField
# for input.
#
# It's a nice feature and continues the blending of Mac OS X and iOS features. However,
# it's a nightmare to deal with in Sublime Text if you're running Vintage (Vim) mode,
# as it means you cannot press and hold h/j/k/l to move through your file. You have
# to repeatedly press the keys to navigate.
