Hide TextEdit's ruler by default
Authored by: keirthomas on Aug 14, '13 04:50:15AM
it's not really that heroic an act in most cases, just a matter of knowing developers' commonly-used shell commands and what kind of stuff to look for. Any UNIX and many MacOS developers already know what to do.

Indeed, and thanks for pointing out that command. I had a play with a few apps and already turned-up a few new interesting bits and pieces. I wonder if robg knows about this command?

However, the point is that the OP believed people were simply dropping down to the terminal then waving a magic wand to do things "the hard way", rather than using the preferences dialog box.

I wanted to make it clear that it's not trivial finding these things out. You yourself said you spent half a hour trawling through the results. That's the actions of somebody with dedication, not some fly-by-night dogmatist!
