Yea, I just started to put my VMs on a 4th partition, 200gb on a 1TB so that I can share VMs btwn 3 OS's natively, macOS, Windows or Linux. I picked NTFS for that scenario as I am more confident in ALL 3 being able to read and write to

Well like I said, assuming lol. But generally speaking if I am on the terminal of iOS vs the terminal on Android I feel more confident that I can bring in whatever packages I want as it was really designed to be a full desktop class citizen

Ford.. the company that can’t figure out how to not blare the AM/FM radio at me when my smartphone doesn’t connect via Bluetooth making Bluetooth unusable in my car is going to opine on what Tesla can or cannot do? People are idiots.

The amount of work & installs you have to do for all that is laughable though.. assuming you can get a jailbroken iPhone.. the terminal app is easy to install.. small install & full on posix compliant terminal is right there w/

Exfat is not good for the kinds of ssd’s that go into computers. Flash drives yes though. Imo it depends on what’s important to you but from purely a data recovery standpoint I’d say pick NTFS & use tuxera on the Mac & Linux has wri

I contend that as of the last year or so it looks more possible to have a system that just works with Linux than any time in the last 10-20 years for sure. I am working to mitigate most issues that remain. I think a combination of remapping

You should really take a look at https://ubuntubudgie.org .. it does not mimic the UI poorly at all.. the welcome app easily gets you to a dark mojave looking theme and then you can change the layout to cupertino for the global m

With Kinto I really don’t care which terminal you use, new or outdated - it’ll work the same as they do on a Mac. Also eOS implementation has its issues, smart copy needs to be disabled too for Kinto to work - thankfully it’s practically th

Kinto uses AHK on Windows already - it just does an insane level of remapping for you out of the box. The Author

Jetbrains is supported by Kinto & the remap is better than their macOS remap layout. Leave it on their default layout & Kinto will remap it 100% to what you’d expect. The hotkeys in the drop downs will not always line up - but that’

It’s not a “collection” of remappings, it is in fact a general modifier key swap w/ dynamic modifier key swapping for a variety of Terminal apps, layered w/ an additional set or collection of remaps for code editors geared towards

Custom scripts? No it doesn’t, it takes 1 Python script (Kinto) & it ought to cover pretty much every scenario you throw at it. I’m the author of Kinto & I feel pretty certain that you haven’t actually tried it based on what you jus

I would have done the same thing these days. Although when I first transitioned to Macs I was not a heavy terminal user like I am now - always been into dev work, mostly web development back then. And I do recall changing that setting via

Yes, but if you find any hotkey not working just let me know in an issue ticket and I will get it added. I also accept PRs.

What you call readline controls I call wordwise - but yes that is indeed supported by Kinto. You will want to undo any of your custom remaps on modifier keys before you install Kinto as it will not be aware of your own remapping attempts. G

I solved it with AirMessage by SparkDev - runs directly on my iPhone. There air similarly named apps and macOS based implementations as well that would work, but I prefer keeping it on my phone instead. As far as the Alt- switching goes.. t

Out of scope for Kinto - although this topic has been brought up a number of times in the issue tickets and I did do some early research into the topic. I found at least 1 or 2 existing projects out there that could be a nice jumping off po

Kinto supports remapping Capslock to Ctrl or Esc, it is in the Tweaks menu, at least on Linux. I have not implemented the Tweaks menu for Windows just yet, besides that the 2 versions are pretty much at parity with each other.

> is it because you can copy and paste with a keyboard shortcut? To be honest the genesis of Kinto came from my Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition days in 2016 - I was wanting to make Ubuntu my primary OS, but I was highly annoyed by 2 things

How do hotkeys work on a mac? That's how they will work on everything else with Kinto. If you haven't used a mac then it will be more difficult to understand and explain because it does a lot more than just swapping a few keys aro

lol - or to do a kiss remapping that involves xmodmap or setxkbmap that still doesn't solve the problem either and then you are expected to individually remap whatever terminal you use per the terminal app preference settings or dot fi

Super key mapping is removed during the install, if it is bound to anything, and ought to be the only system level key that is undone to prevent triggering of any menus. If you uninstall Kinto then it restores the keybinding, beyond that al

Powertoys is pretty powerful and I have offered a few suggestions to them that I hope they will implement with their own remapping solution and last I heard they may very well be working on allowing for groups of applications to share simil

That's a feature built into macOS - you can easily change the location of your modifier keys on a mac and even if you couldn't Karabiner Elements works well and there are terminal based methods for rebinding as well.

I have done pretty extensive testing, but I can confirm that my Kinto app does work with your type of configuration. The RDP applications that work is mentioned in the readme.
