Some progress: (on ubuntu) on the right upper edge I can see a display indicating what keyboard/language is on. The "onboard" visual keymap does, counterintuitively, not *act* as a keyboard, clicking on the keys doesn't do anything, but only shows what would happen if I hit those keys when the a... (more) |

Doesn't work for me.
`trap "echo The script is terminated by err=$?; exit 3" ERR`
prints
`The script is terminated by err=0` .
So, true to your words, it is "the exit status of the last command", not of the one caught in the trap.

The "Windows" key shows me the currently active applications. "Meta" does not do anything on it's own.
On Ubuntu clicking the sidebar Icon that shows available applications and searching for "keyman" looks like the way to go.
Trying now, hoping not to wreck my keyboard ;-) .

So my misunderstanding boils down that `ERR` is not a wildcard for a signal, but traps any non-zero RC (that is not enclosed by some sub-shell)?
If so, how can the causing RC be seen? (more) |

trap ... ERR, how to get the signal code? Inspired by https://software.codidact.com/posts/294883 , I had a look at shell scripting (bash). I have little experience there as I prefer (long) one-liners. For `trap` there is some kind of wildcard, `ERR`. How to get the actual signal code? (more) |

The site says: "From the launcher, enter: Keyman keyboards"
What launcher? Entering "keyman" or "Keyman" into bash does not find a command. (more) |

How to type letters for non Latin alphabets? How to type letters for non Latin based alphabets? Russian keyboards have a key that works like a caps-lock but instead of switching between small-case and upper-case, it switches between Cyrillic and Latin. I'll bet that there are similar ways for Hebrew, or Arabic, but how to do it on a k... (more) |

"The standard cp tool from GNU coreutils just copies files silently."
Well, they are designed to do it this way, silently, efficiently, and not acting for show.
Unix is not MS Windows, not for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinkenlights and sound effect entertainment. (more) |

A: Copy files while showing progress Why not simply use `ls -l` on the target file? Or `ls -lt | head` on the directory? The `-lt` option makes `ls` to show long description, including size and timestamp, while sorting by timestamp. So you can see, from the timestamp, if the command has done recent changes, and from the size, ... (more) |

So, I just have to open a file in my browser and see if it works? Has some backdraws if the browser can handle more then mathML can, so I would be fooled to think it would work with MathML only. (more) |

Looks good at first glance, and bugging admins is one of my favorite hobbies ;-) .
Do you have a hint on how to install it on linux? My ubuntu gives no suggestions when I simply try to call `MathML`. (more) |

My favorite editor is emacs, a Swiss knife and (nearly) all-purpose tool. If it could handle this, it would be my preferred solution, but anything else would also be welcome. (more) |

Cannot find `linter`. Ubuntu proposes `lintex`, but aside of the name, yes, that would be what I am looking for. (more) |

How can I check texts using mathjax? How can I check texts using latex/mathjax (intended for this site, but not restricted to that) on my own system before getting online and spending time on try&error? The focus is on mathjax, which is akin to or even a subset of latex. LaTeX induces the problem of not knowing what packages t... (more) |
