Just playing with my free 27" iMac

Personally I just have text edit in the dock and I can select the save to location directly in the header of the doc window.

Thanks again @Markverhyden I'm doing exactly this

Another tip. Text edit defaults to iCloud for all new docs. You can remove that default by pasting

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDocumentSaveNewDocumentsToCloud -bool false

in terminal. Now it will sticky whatever location you choose. In my case I have a docs folder in ownCloud to hold all of this stuff.

At the moment I have not setup itunes/icloud accounts, preferring to keep Apple at a distance.
As I become more familiar with MacOS I'll do a bit more.
I'll save and run this code when/if I setup iCloud though, thanks!

You have so much real-estate on 27" that I can't remember last time I used the min/max buttons. use Spotlight (Command-Space) for everything, the "x" is Command-W and Command-Q is to quit the app. Setup multiple spaces and check off "Automatically rearrange spaces....".. I have 9 spaces and each one is specific for a task.. 1 & 2 are admin & emails, 3-4 research, 5-6 support, 7/8 is coding, 9 is photoshop/design-work. Shortcut to navigate spaces is Control-Right/Left-ArrowKeys. I use a chrome plugin "Tab Resize - split screen layouts" to organize my chrome tabs & screens.. Give it some time and you will love it. don't forget to replace your drive with a SSD if you don't have one already.
