How to turn off the brush transparency view when resizing the brush on CC?

So, when Adobe introduced the "brush preview" when using the Control+Option drag to change the brush size/hardness (not sure if it's called this way), I was ecstatic! It made my workflow much faster without having to go to the menu to change the brush size or to the bracket keys. Now on CS6 they added a feature that basically broke that for me. Now it not only shows the size/hardness, but it also shows the transparency. It  sounds like a great idea, and it is when you work with bigger opacities, but I work a lot with opacities below 10% and it basically becomes invisible, so it's hard to know if I'm using a hard/soft brush when adjusting the brush size. Is there a way to turn just the transparency preview off?
Thanks!

OK.  Looks like it is me that is confused, but I thought it should have been Cmd plus Option, but Jullieanne Kost mentiones Control Option in this post

Which points to this old thread where we discussed the feature about 18 months ago

So other than changing the HUD setting in General Preferences, there does not appear to be a really nice solution.  Noel points out that it should be doable, and I agree that it would be nice.  It is kind of ironic that we have reached a state where even keyboard shortcuts are too clunky to use, but the mouse option is such a nice feature, it would be great to extend its functionality.

    The only way you can turn it off is to close the lid - so you would need an external wired or wireless keyboard and mouse/trackpad attached.

  • How to turn off sound in twitter app when I scroll down?

    I know there must be an easy way to do this, but I can't find it. I have twitter notification sounds turned off, which is what I want. Inside the twitter app, though, when I scroll down to see new tweets, I get a sort of suck-then-pop sound. I don't need that sound and would like to turn it off, as it irritates my spouse if she's nearby while I'm checking twitter.
    Phone is iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3

    Depends if the window has a separate volume control or not.  You can have multiple QuickTime movies running with the sound muted in some but not others - just slide the volume all the way down in the ones you don't want to hear.
    Other than that, I don't know of a way.

    With snapping on and dragging around points or control points in Edit points, you can temporarily disable the snapping action by holding down the command key.

  • How to turn off mouse (or touchpad) scrolling when running vim in an xterm?

    Just updated 13" macbook pro (mid-2010) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Yosemite (10.10.1).  Previously, when running vim in an xterm, scrolling with the touchpad did nothing inside vim, it just scrolled the xterm history back so I could see what I had done before executing vim.  Now, the same scrolling action (either with touchpad or with an external mouse with scrollwheel) moves the cursor position inside vim (if I'm in navigate mode).  I want to turn this feature off.  I'm sure some people like it but I do not.  Anyone know whether this is something to be blocked by vim settings, or perhaps something in the xterm settings I need to change?  Vim version is 7.3 (2010 Aug 15), which must be a slightly later version than I had under the original operating system, since I got it July 2010. 
    I've tried modifying various vim settings, but to no effect.  I haven't found a comprehensive list of such settings to try systematically. 

    While I do not have Yosemite up and running at the moment, I cannot actually play with Yosemite Terminal.app.  But you should at least look through the various Terminal -> Preferences to see if there is any configuration option that is telling the Terminal how to treat scroll operations.  And try things like changing the "Declare terminal as: ............." setting, as that may affect the Terminfo database entry, which Vim uses to decide on what it does with various keyboard escape keys for input as well as displaying output (not sure if that would affect scrolling input, but it is worth a shot).
    Instead of using X11 and xterm, consider giving iTerm a try.  I have been using as my terminal emulator for years, and at work I live in terminal sessions, ssh'ed into various Linux, Solaris, AIX platforms.
    <http://iterm2.com>  A newer version
    <http://iterm.sourceforge.net> an older but still viable version (I used this on my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 system)
    iTerm will give you Tabbed windows just like Terminal (actually had Tabbed windows years before Terminal.app).  It will allow you to define what a double-click selection thinks is a word.  It has an option to automatically load anything selected into the copy/paste buffer.
    NOTE:  I have nothing against X11 and xterm.  I also use X11 (XQuartz) all day as well as terminal sessions, with various Linux, Solaris, AIX X11 displays being sent back to my iMac at work, frequently using gvimdiff.

  • How to turn off Flex Time

    Hi I am just wondering how to turn off flex time as it gets in the way.

    There's a little button on the left by the word "Audio Region"
    If the EVIL FLEX TIME is on, that little icon next to "Audio Region" will be twisted like a bow-tie indicating that the EVIL FLEX TIME has been activated.
    To move audio you have to select the top bar of the clip in this lower audio region (you can see the name of the track or the time code of the track). You can drag-highlight-delete audio from under the "0" line, but not move it. You can also clumsily-and-not-at-all-precisely move audio in the upper tracks (as opposed to the Audio Region window) by dragging them. That won't engage EVIL FLEX TIME at all.
    Hope that helps.
    :S
    I know... it all stinks and now it looks like the latest Garageband update messes it all up even more!
    OY!
