Mac OSX Utils

1) To Change the hostname

 
sudo scutil --set HostName newhostname.local


2) Move windows between Spaces via drag Desktop
you can move a window from a space to another by just dragging the window to the limit of the screen. If you wait a few seconds, the window slides (and the screen also!) from the original space to the other one.

3) Page Up/Page Down,Home and End in MacBook

fn + Up Arrow = Page Up
fn + Down Arrow = Page Down
Command + fn + Left Arrow = Home
Command + fn + Down Arrow = End

4) Switching between workspaces

control + (up,left,down,right)
