A collection of my preferred hidden and undocumented settings for Apps I use.

The apps are alphabetically ordered by their title.

Problem

Long comments (those going over window width) are wrapped even if View → Enable Soft Wrap is turned off.

Solution

Go to menu Bundles → Edit Bundles → Source → Settings and disable all items named Style: Line Comments ‑ *

See this and this thread

Problem

There is currently no setting for auto‑opening Notes pane on right side of screen. Hidden Preferences is of no help.

Solution

Open Skim preferences in ~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.skim‑app.skim.plist (using e.g. Prefs Editor). Set SKRightSidePaneWidth from its default 0 to e.g. 250. Done!
