What about a dock hiding hack?
What I would really like to see for the dock would be the simple addition of only popping open the dock (when hiding is on of course) IF a modifier key is down, like the command key for instance. Does anyone know if that would be a possible hack?

There would probably need to be a separate process running in the background acting as a a deamon watching out for modifier key presses. I don't think this is possible with the DockMenu.plist. I searched everywhere to find a documented list (or lookup table) for the available commands used by the dock and what they do, but I came up empty handed. The list in the Hint is based on my own findings. There could be another command that does just what you are asking...

You mean like enabling Full Keyboard Access and using the default F-keys? Control + F3 brings up the Dock and you can Tab between all items in the Dock.
A less stupid dock
What you really want is a less stupid dock that would stop popping when told to hide or fleeing from the cursor whenever you try to use it. That's what A-Dock has been for years under OS 9 and below. Maybe you could replace the dock with A-Dock if you can live without Apple's advanced Dock features like magnification and docklets.
A less stupid dock
A-Dock is very nice, tried it for the first time today. replacing my standard Dock.app with alias. Unfrotunately A-Dock seems to crash whenever I try to add anything to it using the Shift+drag method. Has anyone had any success with A-Dock? |
