Guides
Short practical guides from Wataru Watanabe on scratch editing and everyday Mac habits.
- Edit nested Google Sheets formulas outside the formula barCopy a long Sheets formula into a scratch pad, break it onto lines with ⇧⌥F, fix the logic, and paste it back into the cell.
- Fix a CSV in bulk without opening a spreadsheetPaste CSV rows into a text pad, replace every pending status with ready, and keep leading zeros such as 02139 intact.
- Make a one-line JSON API response readablePaste a single-line JSON payload, format it onto lines, scan the keys or find a field, and copy the result back.
- Mac developer tips I keep usingpbcopy and pbpaste, cd - and git switch -, screenshot shortcuts, caffeinate, Finder from the terminal, and VS Code multi-cursor.
Working in the browser, Terminal, or Slack and need somewhere to drop a snippet? Hit your hotkey. Tiny Tauri scratchpad that stays on top, keeps scratch text across restarts, and stays out of your git tree. Not Notes. Not CotEditor. Not a second VS Code window.
