OSX Tip

Here’s something that I’ve kept to myself for a while: To move a window in the background without bringing it to the front, ⌘-click its chrome and drag.

But wait, there’s more!

It’s not just the chrome that reacts this way. It’s any element of the background window. Select text, refresh a page, close the window, pause a movie (iTunes’ buttons are natively able to be used without bringing the application forward); anything.

I consider myself an advanced OS X user, but the number of things I’m still unaware of amazes me.
