Faster Dock-action while in full screen

Do you love using apps in full screen mode in Lion but wish that it was easier to get to the Dock? If you’re comfortable mucking about in Terminal’s command line, you’re in luck. You can type the following command to make the Dock instantly appear as your pointer hits that bottom of the screen.

defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 0
killall Dock

Don’t worry, that second line just restarts the Dock with the new setting in place. It doesn’t hurt anything or anyone.

Type this to get back the behavior as Apple intended.

defaults delete com.apple.Dock autohide-delay
killall Dock
