    pikapik started with one wish: playing Minecraft on a Mac with Control working properly. Holding Control to sprint and pressing Space to jump also switches the input language, so the game kept freezing mid-run.

    Game Mode: play without interruptions. Spotlight, Mission Control and an accidental ⌘Q stay out of your game.
    Keep Awake: your Mac stays awake for as long as you choose, from one second to a whole year.

    I go meeting to meeting with my laptop. Sometimes something's running that I don't want to die, but I also don't want to walk around with my lid half open like an idiot. Lid-close sleep is good design and should stay exactly as it is.
