The new Text tab contains the settings previously found in the Text tab of OS X 10.8’s Languages & Text pane.
Your text shortcuts from your iOS devices now sync with those on your Mac, and vice versa. (There’s one exception: Mountain Lion’s Input Source Options, for choosing either Use The Same One In All Documents or Allow A Different One For Each Document, is gone.) First, the Input Sources tab contains settings that were previously located in the similarly named tab in OS X 10.8’s Languages & Text pane. There are also two new tabs in Mavericks. The Keyboard tab of this pane remains the same, while the previously named Keyboard Shortcuts tab is simply Shortcuts the old Keyboard & Text Input category has been renamed Keyboard. This pane now shows up only if you’re using a Mac with an internal optical-disc drive (or a connected external optical-disc drive). With this setting enabled for a service or app, notifications appear on your Mac’s lock screen. The second change is that within each service’s or app’s notification preferences, there’s a new option, Show Notifications On Lock Screen. Mavericks now offers an iOS-style Do Not Disturb feature for Notifications. You can optionally choose to allow FaceTime calls during Do Not Disturbe time (from everyone or only from Favorites), and allow someone to “break through” by calling repeatedly. Select this item in the list on the left, and you can choose particular times and conditions (when the display is sleeping, when it’s mirroring to a projector or TV) during which you wish to disable notifications. The first is a new iOS-style Do Not Disturb option. This pane for managing Notification Center includes a couple major changes. This pane remains the same, with one (very) minor exception: In the tab, the Messages & Chats category is now called Mail & Messages. OS X Mavericks adds categories for Calendars, Reminders, and Accessibility. The Privacy tab, which is where you configure which apps have access to particular system services, still includes Location Services, Contacts, Facebook, Twitter, and Diagnostics & Usage. The Privacy tab now lets you approve app access for your personal data, as well as approve which apps can use the Accessibility system to control your Mac.
(In OS X 10.8, it appeared in both places.) The Require Password After pop-up menu also no longer offers a 4-hour option-1 hour is the longest delay available. In the General tab, the Disable Automatic Login option is gone-it remains only in the Login Options screen of the Users & Groups pane. The settings formerly in the Input Sources and Text tabs in OS X 10.8 are now found in new Input Sources and Text tabs, respectively, in the Keyboard pane. The Dates tab includes the settings you previously accessed using the Customize button next to Dates, and the Times tab gives you the settings previously accessed via the Customize button next to Times. You can choose different settings for each format language. The resulting sheet’s General tab includes the Format Language (formerly Region) setting, as well as options for number separators, currency symbol and punctuation, and measurement units. Where did the rest of the settings formerly in the Region tab go? At the bottom of the window is an Advanced button that reveals settings for formatting dates, times, and numbers.
