New Mac Setup

new-mac-setup.md

List of apps, settings and configuration I typically do when setting up a new mac.

Mac Configuration

Settings -> keyboard

key repeat rate: fastest

delay until repeat: shortest

disable accents menu on long keypress:

bash defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool true

make sure locale is en-us: add this to .zshrc:

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Optional: use Karbiner to switch the section key with tilda: simple modifiction -> section key to tilda key
