Would you like to eat a whole bag of chips while you watch the 10-hour show?

How about if we break it up into into handfuls and you don’t look down to see how much is left when you reach for more?

ChromeOS Flex can install and run desktop Linux software and has a terminal. What else makes it Linux-like?

ChromeOS Flex is designed as a desktop OS. Android is not.

ChromeOS Flex. Very low maintenance.

It depends. In Firefox, Chrome and LibreOffice, Shift-Insert pastes the clipboard, not the selection. Viva Linux!

For a shared set of hosts at work, you can check a shared SSH include file into got so changes to the cluster can be updated in one place.

You describing a kill ring which is internal to the shell and not synced to the system clipboard. Nor does it work in GUI apps.

The benefit of universal bindings is not have to learn one method for GUI apps, another for terminals and a third for shells implementing the kill-ring like bindings.

I confirmed that these already supported a number of terminals plus QT and GTK. They could also be mapped to be more ergonomic with a programmable keyboard:

• Control+Insert: Copy
• Shift+Delete: Cut
• Shift+Insert: Paste

I spotted one in Bloomington, Indiana recently. It parked next to a superbig truck and I’m sorry I didn’t get that photo.

Yes.

There are already settings to change some of the colors used.

For the terminal in particular there is an option to hide the menu bar, making it look as Foot or Alacritty do.

There’s KMonad. Though I tried it once and found it didn’t behave quite like I expected and gave up.

My patch to add Copy/Paste keycode support to the Cosmic Terminal was merged!

That’s a popular terminal feature, but I regularly get tripped up because my terminal has that behavior but my browser does not.

That’s what’s nice about a global solution.

On old keyboards with those dedicated Copy/Paste keys, they weren’t easy to reach.

Now with programmable keyboards and layers, they can be as convenient as Control C & V.

On the software side, there were many years where they weren’t well-supported, but that’s changing now.

On Windows, Control-C in a terminal also cancels instead of copies. That’s why people don’t take Windows seriously.

The first time you accidentally type Control-C into a terminal and cancel an important process when you meant to copy some text it becomes a PITA.

Control+C is used to kill a process in the terminal and that shouldn’t be overwritten.

Agreed. The post didn’t suggest that.

Seems unnecessarily complex when Control+Shift+C works just fine.

For people already using programmable keyboards global copy/paste shortcuts are a nice perk.

I spend nearly all my day in a browser or a terminal and as I use a terminal and browser that already support this, the effect is 99% complete.

This is one letter from one industry, but perhaps it can matter as part of chorus of similar messages from many industries. I’m glad they are trying. Better than silence.

Finally, a group Trump is sure to listen to.
