Well, apparently you can extend Emacs to have it:
Emaccordion
Control your Emacs with an accordion — or any MIDI instrument![...]You can e.g. plug in a MIDI pedalboard (like one in a church organ) for modifier keys (ctrl, alt, shift); or you can define chords to trigger complex commands or macros.[...]The idea for the whole thing came from [dead link]. I immediately became totally convinced that a full-size chromatic button accordion with its 120 bass keys and around 64 treble keys would be the epitome of an input device for Emacs.

LOL

Music keyboards do have that sweet n-key rollover. So, there's probably some Emacs users playing their editor like a piano.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a markdown note organiser?

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 1d ago

Yet more suggestions which you didn't ask for:

GitNote might be up your alley. Its UI is not as slick as QuillPad, nor does it have as many features, but it does faithfully keep the folder structure.Somewhat of a deal-breaker for me personally: It can't do reminders.
Embrace the chaos. 😅 I have a little program for managing my notes on desktop and it just dumps them all in one folder, too. If I need to find something again, I've got a little text search, which is basically the equivalent of grep -iR. I just make sure to mention enough keywords in each note, so that I can find it again.Personally, I much prefer this workflow, because you can start typing (and hitting Ctrl+S) and then later ensure that it has all the right metadata, rather than having to select a folder upfront where it will be saved.

I actually tried QuillPad not too long ago and couldn't make it work for me, but being able to save as normal files seems to be a recent addition, so maybe that's what I was missing.I'll probably try setting it up to work with my desktop note system then...

Musste letztens auch auf einen Bus ausweichen, weil der Zug nicht mehr weiterfahren konnte. Laufe also aus dem Bahnhof raus und schaue mich nach einer Bushaltestelle um. Ca. 200 Meter weiter sehe ich die einzige Bushaltestelle in weitem Umkreis, stelle mich da also hin. Dann sehe ich wie der Bus auf der Gegenüberseite der Gleise angefahren kommt, rechts abbiegt und eine halbe Minute später hinter mir auf einer Brücke davon fährt.

Es gab nämlich noch eine Haltestelle, nochmal 100 Meter weiter, im dicksten Grün eingewachsen, wofür man hätte die Treppen zur Brücke hochlaufen müssen. Mein Fehler war, dass ich nicht an der Bushaltestelle "Kackkaff" stand, sondern an der Bushaltestelle "Kackkaff (P+R)".Und natürlich, dass ich meinen Röntgenblick an dem Tag zu Hause gelassen hatte, mit dem ich die zweite Bushaltestelle hätte finden können.

Oh man, for some reason I thought the title was going to end with:

by boosting software and network service efficiency.

Of course, they're just talking about offsetting the costs, not actually about reducing them. 🫠

To be honest, what I'm most mad about isn't the typoes, it's that someone generated this image and figured, yeah alright, that will clear things up.

On some level you want to believe that even if someone does not come up with a proper concept for a visualization, that they still check what the AI shat out, so that it's at the very least not conceptually wrong and not confusing.

This image isn't just shitty, it's actively worse than having no visualization. They could've generated that, chuckled, and not used it. Just how do you blunder your perception check so badly that you decide to include it anyways?

Wow, it stole it badly enough that it might not count as copyright infringement in court, but it also stole it badly enough that it isn't useful at all.

KDE Plasma 6.6 released

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 2d ago

Yeah, I've done that occasionally, too, but it adds a load of friction for moving windows between screens, in particular also when un-/replugging the screen, so it's still painful enough that I don't bother with a second screen.

I guess, it also plays a role that I do use lots of workspaces, so it's 1) extra painful and 2) I don't have as big of a need for a second screen, since I can just switch out what first screen displays very quickly.

KDE Plasma 6.6 released

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 2d ago

Oh boy, feature freeze for Ubuntu 26.04 is on Thursday. Hopefully, they still include this update.

My work laptop unfortunately comes with Kubuntu LTS and I desperately want the virtual-desktops-only-on-the-primary-screen feature on there. Currently, I'm the guy that actively disables all but one screen, because my workflow does not work at all with the secondary screen switching in sync with the primary screen.

KDE Plasma 6.6 released

Ephera @lemmy.ml 2d ago

I still wouldn't assume it to actually go further than that. It's a limitation of the EWMH standard, which is used for controlling the placement of windows.

I don't have in-depth knowledge of the standard, but I assume, it can only represent 1 desktop as the active desktop and stuff like that.Maybe you could try to be clever by e.g. always reporting the active desktop of the active screen and stuff like that, but yeah, no idea if you can do that for all aspects of the standard, and whether applications will still behave as expected.

Are you thinking of the volume icon in the systray? For that, it's pretty standard that scrolling changes the volume, yeah. @muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works is talking about the volume of each individual application, though:

(I have hardly used Windows for the past decade, so no idea, if it has it.)

Yeah, a guy recently said that they'd jump into Mint and I could've said that I started on that, too (a fucking decade ago, apparently), but I was considering to tell them they could start with $BETTER_DISTRO right away for so long, that I didn't end up saying much at all. 🫠

Kind of wild how rambly of a video this is, while also being shorter than your average YouTube video.

Where's the cold open, the intro animation, the needlessly long introduction into the topic, the cliffhanger, the sponsor segment, the second(???) introduction into the topic, the summarizing of a news article without adding even so much as your own opinion, the bland statement with zero nuance and the telling people to like, comment, share, subscribe, ring the bell and blow the foghorn...?
