Little things, for which you can fall in love with OS X Lion

The other day in the community Stack Exchange I was born a wonderful discussion of the new features Lion. Participants named many features, the existence of which many users may not know. That's what seemed most interesting:

Quick access to accents

To quickly enter accented characters, you can simply hold the key. For example, holding down and you will get these options:

If, for example, hold the e alternatively be e.

This function only works with standard layouts (ie layout Birman users, this will be deprived of the joy, alas).

System Information

System information is now presented in a more visual form:

In addition, copy the serial number has become faster. You can also check the status of the service and guarantees, as well as to see the service and repair options.

Improved folder creation

Select multiple files from the context menu will be able to create a new folder, which will contain these files:

The terminal restores the previous state

When you re-start the terminal, re-open tabs, the last 500 lines.

FaceTime camera can be used to add a signature to a PDF-file in the Program View (Preview)

In Russia, the electronic document is not developed (I hope just yet). So this feature Lion can look and feel except that students (even an abstract sign is not necessary!).

Resize

Change the window size can be pulling for any of the corners or sides (before pulling it was only possible for the right-hand corner). If you hold down shift, while changing the size, aspect ratio is preserved. If you hold at this time option, party sizes will vary with the preservation center of the window. You can hold both of these keys. Then, changing the window, you save the aspect ratio relative to each other and the center.

the login screen now shows the battery power, time and WiFi-level signal

By the way, WiFi - it now is WiFi, but not AirPort, as previously.

Quick Setup Accounts

When avtorizueshsya sites MobileMe, Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL, using Safari, Lion will offer to customize account Mail, iCal, and iChat.

natural skrollig

Many do not like the "Scrolling the wrong way." Fortunately, you can disable it.

Lion himself close unused applications

Scary for some geeks feature ;-) As a Lion, a new protocol with the menacing name Automatic Termination. Now the operating system itself can close the application that is not used by the user. Freed resources are transferred to other programs. Learn more about this fiche can be learned from the epic review John Siracusa.

QuickLook is now able to show animated GIF-files

Previously, we used the plug-in is now no need to install anything.

New controls and animation in Safari

It's great that Safari has got rid of a single window for downloads. Access the downloaded files is faster.

Safari opens new tabs on the current

Previously, the last tab is opened.

Scrolling in Safari

Absolutely amazing feature. When you went to a few pages deeper into the site, you can go back, if two fingers to hold the right. You want to go back? Browse through the two left fingers. Animation is done flawlessly. One of my favorite features Safari

Support for full-screen applications

Here it is - the answer to procrastination and shirking. Run the app in full-screen mode and focus on the job. It is a pity that not all programs support.

QuickLook learned to work in the background

Many people like simplicity QuickLook: Highlight the file, press "space" and look at the pictures or film. Now that QuickLook learned to work in the background, it can be used as a minimalist player :-)

QuickLook works in the stack (in the Spotlight)!

Flipped through the stack, highlight the file, press the spacebar.

A quick search on dictionaries

If you double-tapnut three fingers on the way, you can get a definition / translation.

Quick access to Emoji

Something like emoticons, if I understood correctly. On the Edit menu → special symbols appeared Emoji. You can insert:

Not sure on * that * their side see.

FileVailt 2 is now able to encrypt the entire boot volume

Previously, only codified home directory

Superior Terminal

If you select a piece of text and choose from the context menu Open man Page, will open a new window in which to read the manual easier.

Applications can "fix" for a specific desktop

In the context menu, application icon in the dock the opportunity to "assign" to desktop applications. Then the program will be shown only on this desktop. Create your own desktop "procrastination", bring to Twitter and browsers, and do not be distracted from their main job work ;-)

Rows of files in the Finder

1. Open a Finder window, where there are several files.
2. Click on the file, select it in the list
3. press shift
4. Click on another file (it will be allocated a number of files)
5. Hold command + shift
6. Click on another file (not selected)
7. hold the shift
8. Click on another file.

You have two rows of the selected files:

On the login screen, you can display an arbitrary message

For example, you can specify the contact details. If you lose your laptop (for example, forget in a taxi), it will help the finder finder to return it to the owner (for a fee). For details, see. Lifehacker.

And what opportunities Lion liking you? What particularly like?
