Aliases vs symbolic links vs hard links
Add Spacers to Dock
- You can group all of your writing apps together, for instance. To get one single spacer in your Dock, you enter the commands: defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}' killall Dock Unusually, there's no place in that command for you to specify that you want two or more spacers. To get extra ones, you enter the exact same command again. And again. Until you've got as many as you need. Equally, there's no version of this command for removing spacers but that's because you don't need one. Spacers in your Dock act like regular app icons in that you can drag them off until you see the word Remove. Again, it's hard to see where to click to drag like this but with your cursor anywhere near the spacer, you can right-click and get the functionally identical Remove from Dock option.
You can drag aliases to the Finder toolbar! (cmd-opt drag)
