I found several long lists with defaults, settings, but never a complete one with a reference to developers.apple.com. Is there any such list to find? If not, which is the longest/systematic/complete list with defaults?

Update:

I'm interested more in the system administration point of view on the collection of the defaults settings, rather than in the developing an application

Update2:

Interesting could be something like TinkerTool collection in the form of Application, but using only the terminal

Update3:

e.g. all defaults keys from NSGlobalDomain

Here is the list of all defaults parameters that [I think] you are looking for.

Here is the link I got it from.

Looks something like this, but a lot longer :) :

NSBundleIdentifier = "com.apple.Stickies"; NSBundlePath = "/Applications/Stickies.app"; NSKeyEquivalent = { English = Y; default = Y; }; NSMenuItem = { English = "Make New Sticky Note"; default = "Make Sticky"; }; NSMessage = makeStickyFromTextService; NSPortName = Stickies; NSSendTypes = ( NSStringPboardType, NSRTFPboardType, NSRTFDPboardType); NSUUID = <8d4e24fb c97345b3 89d26400 baabea39>; },

If The Above Is Not Sufficient

Try searching for what you want here. It is a database of hidden, secret settings for NSGlobalDomain.

I believe this may be what you're looking for.
