Neither the `xorg.conf` nor the `xinput` manuals specify how to do this. `xinput` lists info, but the output lacks column headers and the manual doesn't specify. Have ```txt /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.... (more) |

Documentation for double asterisk glob expansion Where can I find documentation on double asterisk in glob expansion? 1. It is discussed in the .gitignore section of Pro Git. 2. It works in `ls /` to list all terminal files. 3. It is supported by python's glob library. Despite this, I cannot find mention of it in the glob man pages. (more) |

Treat underscores as word boundaries in terminal using vim mode Question How do you specify underscores as Vim word boundaries when using vim mode in either bash or zsh?
