Change Mac dock magnification behavior

Not sure what the use of this is, but maybe it'll help someone. It looks like you can hold down the Shift and Control keys at the same time and it'll change the usual magnification behavior of the Dock.

If your preferences are set so that the Dock magnifies when you mouse over it, holding down these keys will *stop* the magnification from happening, so the Dock doesn't change at all.

If your preferences are set so that the Dock normally doesn't magnify, holding down these keys will cause the magnification to happen when you mouse over the Dock.
