What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has?
What's a unique customization on your Linux machine you think no one else has?
Just wondering since I know a lot of people quietly use a screen-area-select -> tesseract OCR -> clipboard shortcut.
- I separate subjects of interest into different Firefox windows, in different workspaces -- so I have an extension title them and a startup script parse text to ask the compositor to put them in the correct workspace (lets me restart more conveniently).
- I have automatically-set different-orientation wallpapers for using my 2-in-1 depending on whether I use it in portrait or landscape (kind of just for looks, but I don't think if anyone else adds a wallpaper change to their screen rotation keybind).

I have an old gamer keyboard with extra programmable keys on the side, which I use for cut, copy, paste, close tab, close window, etc. Logitech provides drivers/software for Windows & Mac only.
To make it work I have a custom monkey-patched USB driver that I compiled from source, some weird daemon that interacts with the driver and some shell scripts on top of that. I'm not sure how but it works thanks to a 9 year old youtube video made by a guy from eastern europe somewhere.
I do something similar.
I have a V4N4G0N that I use the top row (half the normal number row on a full sized board) for switching workspace or switching apps to another workspace, and doing other stuff like copy and paste on different layers for the keyboard.
As its QMK (via VIAL) I have set all that up directly on the keyboard so its portable to any other PC I want to use. I have eight of these, mix of alu, acrylic and 3D printed, that I can choose from, all sharing the same map. I don't like using anything else now as its become integral to my normal workflow.
Awesome...
Care to share the video/code?
I actually have something similar (Corsair Scimitar's macro customizer doesn't work on LinuxAs I was writing this I found a project that deals with Corsair MMO mice on Linux so now I will be going on an egg hunt.

I'm pretty sure it will only work with a handful of old Logitech keyboards.
When I eventually upgrade my OS and can't compile the stack for some reason, I've got a Sun Type-7 waiting in the wings.
