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 two mice, one for either hand, and use xinput to flip the buttons on JUST the left one. It’s actually one of the main things keeping me from moving to Wayland, which doesn’t seem to have the same configuration features

      there are both configurable mice that let you swap mouse buttons (in the worst case in a windows virtualbox with usb passthrough) or mice that are leftie right out the get-go. those would allow you to use wayland, assuming you can afford to and want to get a new mouse.

      LOL I’ve never seen that before.

      Do you use them both at the same time? Or do you switch between them rapidly? (Maybe you could make a taskbar button-toggle if it’s the latter!)
