All file types associated with an application How can I get a list of all file types for which a certain application is the default program?

As alternative for darkreader, I also like `Midnight Lizard`. In my experience, midnight lizard is a bit more reliable in detecting when the system theme changes. (more) |

A: Activate `Prefer tabs when opening documents` only for one application The setting can be changed on a per application basis with ``` defaults write -app terminal AppleWindowTabbingMode -string always ``` (replace `terminal` with the name of the app you want to change) Important: this only works if the application in question is not running.

Activate `Prefer tabs when opening documents` only for one application In macOS 11.6, I can go to `System Preferences->General` and activate the `Prefer tabs when opening documents` option so that new windows are opened as new tabs. This setting will influence many applications e.g. Mail, Terminal, Finder etc. Screenshot of general settings with the `prefer tabs whe... (more) |

If I remove the offending entries about latex from the function
```
_comps=(
