Jolt is new app that lets you quickly stop screen dimming or screen savers appearing for a set time. Personally I don’t see that much use for it, except maybe surfing porn sites like youporn.com, who knows.

    technically, caffeine does the same thing:

    nothing wrong with donorware though!

    I know the problem, but only seems useful if you were able to assign a keystroke to engage/disengage it. As far as I can tell, neither program allows that. Still, might be useful in some situations.

    Also, one thing I’ve been looking for is a similar program to engage/disengage expose. I have ‘hot corners’ enabled on my mac, and whenever unaccustomed users are on it, they go crazy! I always end up having to go into system prefs to turn it off for them… anyone know of a program that could help?

    you can set a hotkey for anything that has a menu item

    go to System Preferences ->Kyboard & mouse ->Keyboard Shortcuts

    Hit the + button on the left side->Select Application->Menu Title (Exact Name]-> Then put the desired keystroke

    Okay- I got it to work. Never thought of that, though I guess I knew it was possible.

    So, is there a way to use a keystroke to enable/disable expose? I can’t figure that one out… thanks.
