Piloting AltspaceVR on Mac OS We are currently piloting Mac OS support for AltspaceVR. Please note, this pilot is intended to help us better understand the feasibility of expanding AltspaceVR to Mac OS. At this time, not all features or events are supported on the pilot Mac OS version. Running out of space on your Mac isn’t fun. Even worse, you often find out that you’re running out of space at the worst times. Sure, you can randomly start uninstalling apps, but it’s better to check your disk space and figure out which is taking up space in the first place. Create or update the outdoor space of your dreams with our simple to use interface, drag and drop features and one click design capabilities! No design experience required! Design the perfect garden, deck, patio or outdoor living space. Decorate and renovate with thousands of combinations of paint, siding, brick, stucco, and more. Optimize Disk Storage. Apple added a feature called “Optimize Disk Storage” in Mac OS Sierra. The idea is quite good. This feature isn’t well-implemented though. If you have it enabled in System Preferences under iCloud/iCloud Drive settings (which I think is on by default), you essentially have two different values of how much disk space you have available. Options for checking free hard-drive space in OS X. Running low on disk space can greatly slow down your computer. Here are several ways to look this up on your system.
That's been around as long as I can remember, I think in the pre-OS X days as well. I can only test it in Classic right now, but yes, it works there.
Yes, it was already there before Mac OS X, and with international keyboard layouts as well.
I'm not sure how far back this goes, …
It goes back to System 1.0.
In MS-Word (only) it is CMD-SHIFT-<hyphen> to create a non-breaking hyphen.
Non breaking hyphen us unicode u2011 - I'm not sure if it has a normal keyboard way of entering it, but if you choose the 'Unicode Hex Input' input method, you can do opt+2011 to enter it.
A bit clumsy though.

Woah. I am surprised this isn't in here yet. This has definitely been around since the classic days, maybe even System 1.0 as another commenter suggests.
Option-Space also sometimes lets you type a space character when the spacebar would otherwise do something else, such as selecting the first item in a folder instead of activating Quicklook in the Leopard Finder (I think this hint was posted here). Ditto for selecting playlists in iTunes instead of play/pausing (I don't know if that has been hinted. Fair game if it hasn't).
Space Puncher Mac Os 7
I'm not sure how far back this goes, but on Leopard at least, pressing Option-Space on the US or US Extended keyboard layouts inserts a non-breaking space (U+00A0) rather than a normal space (U+0020).This has been the rule on French keyboards since... but it's broken in Mail.app in Leopard (I never used Mal.app before TimeMachine and the fact that a big mail database is a Go hog in backups). Mail.app 3 inserts normal spaces instead of non breaking spaces and it's frustrating. In French you insert non-breaking spaces before '; : ? !' and » and after «. So you get punctuation marks at the beginning of lines and that's not very clean, to say the least.
Space Puncher Mac Os X
In OS X, you can easily create new shortcuts.
Create a file called: ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
using a plain text editor.
Add a line like:
'^`' = ('insertText:', '‑'); /* nbhy */
This means 'Control-` generates a command to insert a non-breaking hyphen character.
You can also insert a whole word, which is good for words or sequences of words you type often that are long like:
'^M' = ( 'insertText:', 'Massachusetts' );
'^N' = ( 'insertText:', 'New Hampshire' );
which means Control-M (not Control-m) inserts Massachusetts.
You can also use 2 character sequences, like
'^s' = {
'^c' = ('insertText:', '✔');
'^x' = ('insertText:', '✘'); /* X Symbol */
'^1' = ('insertText:', '¹'); /* superscript 1 */
'^2' = ('insertText:', '²'); /* superscript 2 */
'^3' = ('insertText:', '³'); /* superscript 3 */
};
Then Control-s followed by Control-c enters a check mark, etc.
Yes, this also be used for commands like:
'^a' = 'deleteToBeginningOfParagraph:';
which is similar to the built-in Control-k command (delete to end of paragraph and put it in the yank buffer).
Or to move the cursor right by 7 words:
'^UF703' = (
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:',
'moveWordForward:'
);
I get endless amusement out of this kind of thing.
