The most useful so far is Josh's Keys. It enables Shift-, Option-,
and Command- modifiers on text input in dialogs and the Finder (and
any other users of the system-provided text editing routines, called
TextEdit, not to be confused with TextEdit.app). It also understands
Forward Delete, and Option-modified delete in both directions.
Another is TESyncScrap. Typical non-Carbon apps synchronize the
system clipboard with the TextEdit clipboard when you switch layers,
i.e. bring another app forward. If in between copying text and
switching layers the app crashes, or quits without synchronizing, or
you're running it in an emulator and you try to paste in another app
in the host OS, you'll get stale data. A similar issue pertains to
pasting into the emulator. TESyncScrap synchronizes the clipboard
just after Cut/Copy and just before Paste (like Carbon apps do),
avoiding these issues.
Other hacks include one that moves the Quit menu item from the File
menu to the application menu (as in OS X), a proof-of-concept Services
menu, and TECalc, which replaces the text selection (e.g. "3 + 4")
with the result of evaluating it (i.e "7") when you hit = on the keypad.
