If you really, really, really don’t want to buy a keyboard and monitor, you can buy a USB KVM console, but it’ll likely cost more. Something like this: https://www.startech.com/en-us/server-management/notecons01

Blender uses Alt+A.

It consistently uses Alt as a modifier to execute inverse operations. I to insert a keyframe, Alt+I to delete it. Ctrl+F to set a text filter/search, Alt+F to clear it. Ctrl+P to set parent, Alt+P to clear it. H to hide selected objects, Shift+H to hide unselected objects, Alt+H to unhide all. {G,R,S} to move/rotate/scale, Alt+{G,R,S} to reset transformations. It’s not exactly industry standard, but internally consistent that makes learning it easy.

Ctrl+D to deselect is stupid.

I’m in the same position, and it feels so damn powerful. I’ve convinced an entire university to ditch Ubuntu in favor of Linux Mint, and I’m also advocating for replacing our aging VMWare servers (with a soon-to-expire license) with Proxmox.

Damn, I had no idea netcat had a hardware implementation

Sisko and Picard.

From the torrent, the deluge, the unending tidal wave of this exact meme in various formats. The “exit vim difficult” meme must constitute at least 50% of online content regarding *nix and *nix-adjacent systems. It is so stale that Slackware considers it outdated. It is the “mayonnaise is spicy” equivalent of funny. It is the white bread, picket fence stereotype of meme culture, yes offense. I’d like to say that it’s beating a dead horse, but the horse is gone; its flesh has been tenderized, pulverized, and evaporated from the sum total of energy imparted by the constant beating. If the heat death of the universe were to happen tomorrow, and from the uniform vacuum energy a Boltzmann brain were to spontaneously form, it will have been already tired of this meme.

But to answer the question, it was either that, or the big

type :q<Enter> to exit

splash that appears when I open it with an empty buffer, and following its instructions.

No offense to you or your house, but I’m really tired of this meme.

Still more reliable than Wayland on nvidia.

Isn’t that what the basic “Export” does?

As I understand, the person who ultimately made the decision to ban Vaxry was also on a massive power trip.

Right now I’m in a bit of a bind because part of my workflow relies on exporting particular layers and layer groups as separate images. GIMP has a plugin for it, but it uses Python 2, no longer developed, and likely won’t work in GIMP 3. If Krita can do this, I’m switching immediately.

Anyone praising GNOME can be dismissed if they forget to define client-side decorations for their comment.

(this comment was made by The Entire Desktop *nix Ecosystem Except GNOME gang)

You are in the wrong audience for that, and I don’t know what thought process led you to expect anything but scorn. It’s like going to a sporting event and sitting with the fans of one team while wearing the other team’s colors.

Btw, I don’t disagree with the title. Of the WYSIWYG markdown editors I’ve tried, Obsidian easily has the best UX with the single-pane preview and inline editing. That being said, Obsidian is trying to be more than a note-taking app. The wobbly graph, canvases, the nonstandard markdown elements might turn people off. The average *nix-user will also likely prefer a community-driven application instead of closed-source, corporate software, gratis or paid.

The issue is that you made the post in bad faith, to evoke a negative reaction. Some will call it an attempt at trolling, but I think the most appropriate description is “being a dick.”

Authorized without consent. That is what Louis Rossmann calls a rapist mentality.

Using Edge on Linux is like cooking up a banger vegan meal and then drenching it in bacon grease.

t won’t do anything on its own, you need to accept the repair step

Do you know what else works like that? Pop-up tech support scams. The target doesn’t have to do anything, but it’s become a thriving business in many poor regions (Kolkata, India is notorious) and a problem for moderately tech-illiterate users.

I would even say that this anti-feature promotes bad personal security practices because the user may be more inclined to believe “your computer needs repair” pop-ups if the first one they encounter comes from a legitimate, trusted party.

They probably either use a different client, or a different federated service, that lets them mark multiple participants in each post of the thread.

$ pacman -Si god

Take that, theists!

Not exactly. When you select a text and copy it, the two selections will end up containing the same text, but you can write to either selection without affecing the other by using an API, e.g. a website’s “copy to clipboard” button, or xclip/wl-copy.

Clipboard managers with a history feature are an altogether different layer on top of the standard selections. Plasma’s clipboard manager only cares about the clipboard selection, and even then, there are exceptions (e.g. copying a password for KeepassXC doesn’t save it in the history).

Yes. X11 replaced X10’s obsolete cut buffers (which can be modified by any process) with state-of-the-art selections. There are three selections in X11: a primary, a secondary, and a clipboard.

In modern desktops, the primary selection is overwritten every time you select some text (including in the terminal), which makes its content very ephemeral. You can paste it with the middle mouse button.

The secondary selection is generally not used, but it’s present in the specification, and you can use xclip -selection secondary to access it. Wayland doesn’t seem to have a secondary selection.

The clipboard selection is what most people understand to be THE clipboard. You have to write to it explicitly (through a keyboard shortcut, API, or CLI tool), and its content persists until it is overwritten, explicitly cleared, or the X server is killed. While the primary and secondary can only contain text, the clipboard can contain many kinds of data.
