You can't, without patching readline. What counts as a word character is hard-coded in the readline library, as of this writing. See: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/readline.git/tree/vi_mode...
Not quite sure what exactly happens, but the Erase option should do something like overwriting the data that used to be on the disk. When formatting a disk, typically only the partition tables are...
Another possibility is to use LaTeX. There are several ways in which you could use it to add a polygon on top of an image, one way is TikZ: % !TeX program = txs:///arara % arara: pdflatex: {synct...
My system occasionally has an issue that looks like this: I run pacman -Syu Many things get updated Many GUI apps (including all display managers and Xorg) start refusing to run and throw up O...
Spotify runs on my computer with higher DPI (bigger UI elements) than I'd like. How can I reduce it?
How do I configure my system so that all GUI apps use a consistent DPI, without configuring each app individually?
If I understand you correctly, you want to skip empty lines at the beginning of a file/stream strip leading and trailing whitespace of non-empty lines skip empty lines at the end of a file/str...
systemctl is a tool for controlling systemd, the "new" Linux init system (actually it's been widely used for 10 years now). Systemd is the first process that runs at boot, which then brings up all ...
There's multiple, sometimes overlapping ways of altering the DPI globally on Linux. You should first ensure these are properly configured and Spotify is still not using them correctly. However, Sp...
It's NetworkManager that sets the IPv6 link-local address and per default it doesn't use the conversion from MAC to IPv6 address of that converter, called modified EUI-64. As mentioned in the linke...
I can start services with systemctl start. I can see logs with systemctl status or journalctl. But by the time I run the second the process has already started. I'd like to start a service and imme...
By using the non-interactive --quick-add-key method. This adds separate signing and encryption subkeys with expiration date one year from now: $ gpg --quick-add-key YOUR-PRIMARY-KEY-ID ed25519 sig...
At the moment GPG only offers the following options when generating a new subkey the with the addkey command: gpg> addkey Please select what kind of key you want: (3) DSA (sign only) (...
When formatting drives with Gnome Disks, there is an option to "Erase". The help text says this takes longer, but "completely" erases data. What exactly does this option do? Is there a CLI equival...
I have an Arch Linux machine connected to a LAN by ethernet. The router runs OpenWRT. DHCP assigns IPs to this machine like 192.168.1.* - quite typical. I want the IP to always be 192.168.1.10. I...
I don't use Gnome, but I'm guessing it relies on xdg-open to figure out what program to use. Your first step would be to do xdg-open ~ to see if it uses the same incorrect program. If so, great - ...
I'm going to write some systemd services. All of these can only be run if a certain website is up. I thought I could create a ~/.config/systemd/user/website.service this: [Unit] Description=Confi...
There will be various clues, but sometimes they can mislead. "I'm on Gnome" means something very different in a modern Ubuntu vs one still hanging around from 10 years ago. (best not to do that) S...
I am running Debian 12 with KDE, and my Firefox (which is the Firefox ESR version installed via apt) does show up in the Applications list; however, if I run the Zed editor which is installed via F...
I am trying to greedily capture text with sed. For example, I have the string abbbc, and I want to capture all of the repeated b characters, so that my result is bbb. Here's an attempt at a solut...
The b\+ part of the regex is already greedy. In sed, all repetitions are greedy. Your problem is that the initial .* is also greedy, and so that's gobbling up both the a and as many bs as it can. F...
Have you tried using awful's widget instead: awful.widget.keyboardlayout. It seems to be a switcher that automatically loads the available X11 settings(?). Here's a sample configuration (untested,...
I want to run programs foo and bar with supervisord. Both programs produce a continuous stream of occasional output (stdout and stderr) as they run. When I run supervisor with nodaemon=true, I wan...
How to migrate a single device BTRFS filesystem to a new drive? I don't want to send individual subvolumes, but instead the entire filesystem with its subvolume layout intact. Changing the filesyst...
