The Yosemite AppKit Release Notes claim that most animations on the system can
be run in slow motion by setting NSAnimationSlowMotionOnShift to YES. I've
always implemented slow motion by explictly testing for the shift key and, if
it's down, changing the animation duration. If there is in fact

I think of it as an Easter Egg. It is not meant to serve a useful purpose and
therefore is not a feature at all. It is nothing more than a trivial and fun
effect.
Notice that A
It can present an annoying and time wasting problem when it appears where it is
not wanted. Take, for example, Xcode. The shortcut keys to zoom in and out of
the storyboard require the shift key. Apple chose to animate the zoom in and
zoom out, rather than display the new resolution instantly

I have to say that I missed your point on that one. In the years since Steve
Jobs showed off the slow motion feature, I've never heard of anybody
complaining that the keyboard

Here's my code to animate in slow motion only when the Shift key alone is down,
and not to animate when other modifier keys are down along with the Shift key.
This should reduce the likelihood of conflicts with keyboard shortcuts that
include the Shift key along with other modifier keys. Don't f

NSUserDirectory refers to the “Users” directory, which exists only in the
“System” domain (“/Users"). The “User” domain is the home directory (“~”). The
combination of NSUserDirectory and NSUserDomainMask results in a nonsensical
and nonexistent path (“~/Users”) so it returns nil/empty instead.

In Xcode 5 OSX, not ios, I have created a custom view and set auto layout
constraints so that the custom view's sides stay a fixed distance from the
content view's frame. The custom view resizes correctly while dragging the
window's corner while running, but the content of the custom view remain
When the view resizes, the content area changes to become larger or smaller,
but the scaling of content within that view does not change. You have to
arrange this if that's what you want.
There are a number of ways to do this, but nothing automatic - no amount of
fiddling with constraints will

Oops, this is the wrong way round - the scale should be /.
