True, I have posted info about my key remapper here a few times, https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto , but when I posted it it never really took off. Then some guy, nick something, posted it and the thing really took off.

Ehhh.. there are 3rd party tools free and commercial that fix the taskbar so it can go back to the sides if you want. Windows 11 really isn't that bad at all - although I'd rather they have simply fixed Dark Mode in Windows 10 tha

Checkout my betterScale script, it’ll likely fix your hidpi issues. https://github.com/rbreaves/betterScale

Look at http://ubuntubudgie.org and my http://sorun.me script. I am working on smoothing out those "edges". I am also working on betterScale to yea.. fix the difficult hidpi monitor and multi-monitor w&#x2F

I think flipping it is better tbh. Making Linux my primary and putting Windows in the VM on a desktop. I love this setup so much more than WSL lol. I get to keep Windows and Linux more secure and separate from each other - but still can acc

Have you tried Ubuntu Budgie from http://ubuntubudgie.org ? (Could also use my sorun.me & kinto.sh script/apps if you want something sorta mac like too).

I agree with nitrogen. And why would I want the OS level copy/paste to conflict with my terminal commands? Zamalek I think you are not realizing how much worse of a UX that would be when the terminal wants to use Ctrl & the GUI app

They can exist because their "small" markets or audience will pay for their software. That simple.

Really? I’ve never seriously considered trying AHK in wine.. just kinda assume that won’t work lol. Am curious now how well that works via xrdp then as xkeysnail & other uinput methods don’t.

Yea, I am not surprised. I actually was trying to target Pop_OS! to use as a daily on a desktop of mine, but... I had issues with the installer due to it not liking a network ethernet device I believe. I did get past that, but then I had an

This. It is mostly a memory muscle issue people have to deal with.. and using your thumb - strongest digit for your primary modifier vs a pinky.. the weakest ought to just be common sense.

Really not a good idea to remap super for copy and paste though.. that is just a very surface level thing to do I think and recommend to any mac user transitioning to Linux and is why I built Kinto.sh so that hacks like "remap Super+c&

Could try my Sorun.me script.. built for Ubuntu Budgie and installs a lot of dev goodies (can be read in a basic yaml config file before installing) and yes consistent shortcuts from my meticulously built Kinto.sh app. https://gi

Yea, Desktop Linux is edging closer and closer. I am finding that I have been able to make go of Ubuntu Budgie w/ my kinto.sh app, sorun.me & autorandr.. which I need to the last thing to sorun.me as it is my "setup my entire

There are 3 options here. https://github.com/mooz/xkeysnail https://github.com/k0kubun/xremap https://github.com/autokey/autokey My advice is to skip the last one unless you

Thanks for the mention. Am a little surprised they wouldn't list it. I know mmstick at Pop_OS! is aware of it because I mentioned it to him at some point when I felt it had become mature enough. Although it really is not properly packa

I really don't think $20k is unreasonable to rewrite something for a manufacturer. Chances are they'd change the scope, make requests and he'd need to modernize it and I can easily see something like that taking 1-2 months..

Hmmm I did not know this, but I am also not very surprised really. There are so many customizations they've made in post versions though that I imagine this probably isn't the first time they did not offer an upgrade path. They ar

I have 1 reason. ConPTY - it simply works better on Windows 11. VSCode actually respects mouse support under 11 w/ POSIX compliant terminals - but not under 10. That is it, and for RDP but 10 did equally well with RDP, except for the C

You assume that the creator of one of the.. if not the largest open source projects on the planet might not understand the issue at hand better than literally anyone? That seems arrogant. I imagine more thought & care went into git than

That’s why I just use Just Perfection extension & remove the top bar. Then you just run budgie-panel or xfce4-panel w/ vala appmenu for the global menu bar on Gnome. Use xfce4 if you need it on 2 or more monitors though - Budgie o

I use multiple monitors with global menus all the time and I have never been confused by which app a global menu is associated with unless I walked away and come back and 2 or more windows are not overlapping or dimmed in some way. In reali

This is why I like Waterfox - it is Firefox but with a global menu added back in.

I am actually not often bothered by the scroll of a wheel or touchpad on any OS, but I do often need to crank things up on all of them, especially on Windows. I need sensitivity. I am also the author of https://kinto.sh so if yo

First off.. this is not an official release (kairos) like my Kinto project, but you can install https://ubuntubudgie.org and use their global menu or run my script which will fully configure everyone w/ my Kinto project and

I feel this - there's been a definite shift in using some surprisingly large frameworks it seems like and it does take time to ramp up with them.
