Automatically import all your FLACs into iTunes

iTunes lacks FLAC support out of the box and as annoying as that is, there is hope. Fluke lets you import and play your FLACs with iTunes.
Unfortunatly the standard method requires that you select the files you want to import in the Finder and open them with “Open with”.

This can be cumbersome if you have many FLACs in different places. To add them all in one run, open
the Terminal, cd into the directory where your music is stored an run

1	find . -name "*.flac" -print0 \| xargs -0 open -a Fluke

This will search in the current directory and all it’s subdirectories for FLAC files and import them

One of the many great features that LaTeX-suite provides is autocompletion for \ref, \cite etc. Unfortuantly LaTeX-suite maps autocompletion to F9 and this is mapped to fast-forward on OS X.

If you don’t want to disable the standard F1-F9 mappings and go the FN+F1-9 route, simply add

" TeX
" Fix F9 mapping on MacBook
autocmd FileType tex imap <buffer> <M-TAB> <Plug>Tex_Completion

to your ~/.vimrc. This will map autocompletion to ALT+TAB when a tex-file is loaded.

Now back to finishing that thesis…
