I tweak the terminal colors and shell prompt. Didn't you notice that when we were pairing today?

I like the cyan prompt on a dark olive bg: export PS1="[\033[36m]\h:\W>[\033[0m] "

I also activate the Keychain padlock utility menu so I can lock the screen to keep the cleaners from typing random crap when they wipe down the keyboard. You can activate the menubar icon in Keychain Access preferences - Show Status in Menu Bar.

And of course I always create a Fluid.app for Pivotal Tracker!

On a fresh install one of the first things I do is to install PCKeyboardHack and remap the tab-key to act as ESC. (And that makes my second software tag pretty easy to guess, doesn't it?)

When I'm doing frontend work, I'll need DefaultFolderX.

More generally, these days, I'm leaving a trail of Spotify clients on all the computers I use :)

I'm definitely a fan of iStat menus... much more attractive and Mac-like than MenuMeters, in my opinion.

For QuickSilver, I quickly switch to these:

• "Start at login"
• "Show icon in menu bar" (and not in the dock)
• "Bezel" for the Command Interface
• Uncheck "Reset search after" (I'm a slow typist)

On my personal computer, I turn "Modifier-only Activation" on to allow for launching via a single tap of the [command] key; others seem annoyed by that one. SilverFlow looks pretty slick... might have to check that out.

Definitely a fan of colored prompts, with the addition of svn/git info. Also like to have TextMate configured as my editor for commits, etc.:

    export CLICOLOR=1
    export LSCOLORS=GxFxCxDxBxegedabagacad
    export TERM=linux
    export EDITOR="mate -w"

    parse_git_branch() {
      git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* (.*)/(git::\1)/'
    }
    parse_svn_branch() {
      parse_svn_url | sed -e 's#^'"$(parse_svn_repository_root)"'##g' | awk -F / '{print "(svn::"$1 "/" $2 ")"}'
    }
    parse_svn_url() {
      svn info 2>/dev/null | grep -e '^URL*' | sed -e 's#^URL: *(.*)#\1#g '
    }
    parse_svn_repository_root() {
      svn info 2>/dev/null | grep -e '^Repository Root:*' | sed -e 's#^Repository Root: *(.*)#\1\/#g'
    }
    # http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-linux-unix-bash-shell-setup-prompt.html
    export PS1="[\033[00m]\u@\h[\033[01;32m] \W[\033[31m] \$(parse_git_branch)\$(parse_svn_branch) [\033[00m]$[\033[00m] "

TextMate additions:

• Git bundle
• Ack bundle
• ProjectPlus PlugIn
• And recently: Ctags bundle, customized to (hopefully) be more comfortable for Pivots
• Others (e.g., Screw.Unit bundle), depending on project needs

Other indications that I might have been around:

• Synergy/Teleport
• OpenTerminalHere
• Firefox configured to download to ~/Downloads
• A ~/Desktop/Stuff folder, where I move the debris others have scattered

Logitech's drivers so I can run my (Logitech) mouse with swapped buttons - so I can mouse goofy while not disturbing my pair...

I'll always install my TextMate bundle (http://github.com/nakajima/nakajima-tmbundle), then I'll pluck the bits out of my dot files (http://github.com/nakajima/dot-rot) that are useful without totally monopolizing all the settings.

Just need two:

• Carbon Emacs (http://homepage.mac.com/zenitani/emacs-e.html)
• and my Emacs init: (http://github.com/aaroncampos/emacs_d/tree/master)

Command+Option+Right/Left Arrow mapped globally to previous/next tab.

Grey background (for remote pairing)

small, non-hiding dock (for remote pairing because I can't command-tab in non-full-screen)

The most Giant Mouse Cursor available (so I don't lose it)

Various textmate tweaks for search performance, ack in project.

Other than that I just try to go with the flow :)
