Another great example (better than that one I initially linked to). A million and one methods to reach the same endpoint.

Isn't NumLock just one of those set-it-and-forget-it kind of buttons though? I just press it once when I boot the computer and never touch it again. The only time I notice it is off is if I go to properly type numbers and the cursor goes flying all over the place!

I must admit, I don't use Mac (so not familiar with the specific tools). I just work in Linux/Windows-land.

But from a quick perusal, isn't this what Microsoft has been trying (keyword... trying) to do with their Windows 8/10 search?

I can't say I am a fan of everything being typed in the local search being broadcast to third parties + internet. Ubuntu got dinged for that a few years back, and here Microsoft is trying to shove it down everyone's throats:

"Oh, Test1.txt. Want me to Bing that for you? Too late, I already did."
