for me.
- Double tap space for full stop and space.
- Automatic capital of the first letter of sentence.
- Drag one file to another to create folder (yeah, I just incidentally did that).

OSX feature I want on iOS
- swipe back and forward on Safari.

If they add those typing changes I will kill them. I have been using spaces, periods and shifts for far too long for them to "reinvent" typing. Only way that would make sense is if they did away with the physical keyboard.

Where do you see that in iOS? And, that's already in OSX, unless your talking about going from Mac > iOS, in which case your title is incorrect.

Put down the bottle and concentrate. :D

You're telling me that you don't want 'drag a file on a file to make a folder?'

Why on earth not? That'd be awesome.

That would be fine as long as they don't go all the way and make OSX like iOS (in other words, totally caged out of the OS, so you have no control on anything, unless you jailbreak). Since they did that on the iPad, I've worried it could come to that in the future (the Mac App Store just makes me more nervous it's going to come to that).

Maybe an option? You don't want it, switch it off. I don't understand why I have to type . then space when there's already a better way.

Neat ideas, but this one would be a bit of a consistency issue. As it is, if you hold a document over a program, you can launch the program with that document - or you could drop it into a folder/disk. What would happen then? :\

I like the other ideas :)

Thank you. I think it should continue to be what it used to be: drop it on the app the app opens, drop it in the folder it is copied (or moved) but there's an extra function: when you drop it to another file the folder created right then and there. You like it now? :)

Not me .. still don't like it. Maybe if it were coupled with a key press of some sort. Really not a feature I would pine for anyway. This was just created in iOS because there was not a way to create a folder and they needed some method to do so. OSX already has several methods to do this.

You already can, albeit with a few extra clicks: select multiple objects, right-click and choose "new folder with # objects". This has the added functionality of applying to folders, apps, and data files.

Not really the same thing though, since you'd have to make sure the files are already in the same folder.

Yep, it'd be great if we could get rid of those few extra steps. And it'll be more consistent since before you can drag and drop file on pretty much anything but another file, now you can.
 
Top iOS feature I want for OS X. Free OS upgrades. I'm talking about Lion to Mountain Lion and not just the free patches we get (10.7.3 to 10.7.4 for example).
