Quick tip for developers who use OS X
On 25 July, 2010, I saw a Daring Fireball link to a Superuser page with a growing collection of Terminal Tips and Tricks for Mac OS X.
I followed the link and figured I’d contribute a little tip I’d discovered at some point:
You can hold option and click a position in the current line to move your cursor to that position.
Years went by and a couple of days ago I saw a familarly-phrased tweet retweeted in my timeline:
OSX Terminal: hold option and click a position in the current line to move your cursor to that position. #yearslost http://t.co/HK93ZBMJzI

Today when I woke up and skimmed through the front page of Hacker News – a “Quick tip for developers who use OS X” caught my eye:
OSX Terminal: hold option and click a position in the current line to move your cursor to that position. #yearslost
It’s truly amazing how small the Internet can be sometimes.
