Q: Are there any hidden preferences in teleport? What are they and how do I activate them?

A: Some users asked me some features, but they were not major enough to have a control in the preferences pane, so I decided to add them as hidden preferences.

Here they are:
* hideControlBezel (now has UI in 1.0): write YES to avoid showing the bezel on the master mac when controlling another computer (default is NO).
* visibleBorders: write YES to show the hot borders as blue, instead of being invisible (default is NO).
* switchDelay (now has UI in pr4): write the number of seconds you want teleport to wait before switching (default is 0.5).
* autocheckVersion (now has UI in pr3.7): write NO if you don't want teleport to automatically check the latest version when it's launched (default is YES).
* bonjourDomain (new in pr3.6): specify a bonjour domain for publishing/browsing teleport service (default is "local.").
* commandPort (new in pr3.7): specify a port for commands used by teleport (default is 44176).
* transferPort (new in pr3.7): specify a port for transfers used by teleport (default is 44177).
* hotBorderActivationDelay (new in pr4): specify the time until the border becomes hot again, when a switch just occured (default is 0.5).
* syncFindPasteboard (new in pr4): sync the find pasteboard additionally to the general pasteboard, to synchronize the search string between your Macs (default is NO).
* trustLocalCertificate (new in pr4): write NO if you don't want to automatically trust hosts having the same certificate as your local Mac (default is YES).
* enableLogging (new in pr4): write YES if you want to see some logs, useful to help me debug stuff (default is NO).
* showSwitchAnimation (new in 1.0): write NO if you don't want the little animation that appears when switching (default is YES).
* doubleTapInterval (new in 1.0): write the number of seconds you want between the 2 taps (default is 0.5).
* showTextualStatus (new in 1.0): write NO if you don't want textual information next to the teleport icon in the menubar (default is YES).
* disconnectOnNetworkConfigChange (new in 1.1): write NO if you don't want teleport to disconnect when it senses some changes in the network configuration (default is YES).
* wrapOnStopControl (new in 1.1): write NO if you don't want to reset the cursor position to the top left when stopping the control (default is YES).
* switchSoundPath (new in 1.1): write the path to a sound file to overload the default one.
* appIdentifiersDisablingTeleport (new in 1.1): write an array of application identifiers from which teleport will not work when one of the app is frontmost.
* syncModifiers (new in 1.1.1): write NO if you don't want the modifiers to be synced with the remote host, eg to not require pressing alt to get back to the main Mac while you require it to start controlling.To activate them, type in the Terminal:

--- Code: ---defaults write com.abyssoft.teleport <pref> <value>
--- End code ---
where <pref> is one of the above mentioned preferences, and <value> is YES or NO or some other string.
You have to deactivate and reactivate teleport for the change to be effective.

To switch only after 2 seconds, for example:

--- Code: ---defaults write com.abyssoft.teleport switchDelay 2
--- End code ---

Hi there,

I finally got everything working again! Teleport 3.5 works great, I've tried  to hide the bezel entering, defaults write com.abyssoft.teleport hideControlBezel YES, but the bezel is still there...
Do I have to type this in to the Terminal on both the Macs or just the Master or is there something else to type in?

Thanks for any help.

You only need to do this on the master, but did you deactivate and reactivate teleport on it after that?

Nadia:
Thanks Jul,

I 've tried so but it stll was there...but I expiremented a little and find a sollution... If you want the bezel to dissapear, you have to type the command when Teleport is TURNED OFF, otherwise it is'nt going to accept the command, the same thing for the borders, you can type the command in the terminal to show the borders when Teleport is running, but if you want the borders to be invisible again, you have to TURN OFF Teleport BEFORE you type the command in the Terminal, otherwise it isn't going to accept the command. I suppose for the switchDelay and the autocheckVersion it is going to be the same thing, but I did'nt tried those.
Hope I could help someone with these information...

Thanks for the great software!

Nadia

Ah-ha... I think I prefer it without the bezel for the moment. It seems to conflict with my login prompt. Lots of flickering and flashing.

Thanks for the hint... and thanks for the sweet app.
