Keyboard-only Mac Cheatsheet

Hi, I'm Lorna and I don't use a mouse. I have had RSI issues since a bad workstation setup at work in 2006. I've tried a number of extra hardware modifications but what works best for me is to use the keyboard and only the keyboard, so I'm in a good position and never reaching for anything else (except my coffee cup!). I rather unwisely took a job which required me to use a mac (I've been a linux user until now and also had the ability to choose my tools carefully) so here is my cheatsheet of the apps, tricks and keyboard shortcuts I'm using, mostly for my own reference. Since keyboard-only use is also great for productivity, you may also find some of these ideas useful, in which case at least something good has come of this :)

There's more detail on a few of these apps but here is a quick overview of the tools I've installed and found helpful

	// set the board to 240mhz or higher for best results (WARNING: higher than 240mhz only works with USB if you overvolt the MCU)
	// this implements reading SPI mode 3. if you want a different mode, you need to edit these two lines:

	# First let's update all the packages to the latest ones with the following command
	sudo apt update -qq

	# Now we want to install some prerequisite packages which will let us use HTTPS over apt
	sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common -qq

	# After that we will add the GPG key for the official Docker repository to the system
	curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg \| sudo apt-key add -

	# We will add the Docker repository to our APT sources

	Ansible playbook to setup HTTPS using Let's encrypt on nginx.

	The Ansible playbook installs everything needed to serve static files from a nginx server over HTTPS.
	The server pass A rating on [SSL Labs](https://www.ssllabs.com/).

	To use:
	1. Install [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/)
	2. Setup an Ubuntu 16.04 server accessible over ssh
	3. Create `/etc/ansible/hosts` according to template below and change example.com to your domain
	4. Copy the rest of the files to an empty directory (`playbook.yml` in the root of that folder and the rest in the `templates` subfolder)
