Comment Post #289874 Actually the 'printf` is useful for larger datasets where `ls` starts grouping by directory and excluding the full path.

Comment Post #289874 This solution works and led me to a slightly simpler solution in the threads below.

Comment Post #289874 `find l1 -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -exec sh -c "ls '{}'/* | head -n 3" \;` also works! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Comment Post #289874 How is this sorting the output properly? It returns the first three alphabetically, but how?

Comment Post #289874 I was struggling with piping in an `-exec` call. Where did you read about passing `sh -c ""`? I did not find that in the `find` manual.

Comment Post #289874 This works, thank you! I did not need `\! -empty`. I was thinking there might be a way without `printf` using `execdir`.

Comment Post #287922 I noticed a change to make, pushed, and it's gone now, but should be in the post history.

Comment Post #287922 I can likely push with space then push a change removing to fix, but I post this here because I think it's a UI bug.

Comment Post #287922 I typed this up in a text editor, with the title up top, pasted here, then dragged the title to the title text box with a mouse. In the text box it shows as completely gone. When I posted it re-appeared. I tried adding space and what not then deleting to see, but when I push the edit it's dropped bec...

Comment Post #287863 This is not a bad idea to do a wrapper that converts `--size` to percent, but `convert does not use proper unix option conventions and does not fulfill both size and percent on its own.

Comment Post #287822 The length of the solution makes me think there is a better way. Especially when considering how short the bash solution is that you linked in the other question: ```sh # See https://stackoverflow.com/a/48449104. set editing-mode vi set show-mode-in-prompt on set vi-cmd-mode-string "\1\e[2 q\2" ...

Comment Post #287735 This is truly incredible! You got to the root of my problem! My only remaining issue is that the styling doesn't really carry over, for example, my html section headers are red and a nice font, but with `pandoc -s doc.html -o doc.docx` they look like yours, blue and bold.

Comment Post #287711 This is a nice thought. I used `asciidoctor-pdf`. I know I can output to `.html` natively with `asciidoctor`. The other tool I encounter this with is `latex`.

Comment Post #287711 Thank you for this. This is not ideal either, because I need to send the docx to native word users. They will be taken aback by this but have a surprisingly high tolerance for formatting issues. It's okay for the formatting to get messed up when editing, but I don't think they will accept being confi...

Comment Post #287418 That's actually an interesting idea, and probably the best solution. I will give it more thought. I guess I could write a base file, and then a script to append to the base, based on the situation.

Comment Post #287418 I understand that, but I don't want to have separate `.xinitrc` files or change them based on use case. I want to keep one basic `.xinitrc` and then pass additional commands to my X session based on the situation.

Comment Post #286930 Good thought. Tried it specifically setting mode and it did not work: ```sh xrandr --output HDMI-2 --mode 1920x1080 --rotate left --dpi 92 --right-of eDP-1 ```

Comment Post #286930 Yes you are right, but despite this, the concept of software "dpi" exists through `Xft.dpi` and `xrandr --dpi`. My main goal is UI scaling.

Comment Post #287278 I'm pretty sure this was my original setup, prior to trying FAT. Will give it another shot and report back. It'll be a couple weeks before I have access to a Windows machine again.

Comment Post #287278 I will see if NTFS is recognized by the device in question. First, when partitioning with `fdisk` or `gdisk`, what partition type should I assign for NTFS?

Comment Post #286772 I like `ls -A | wc -l`, but I'm not sure why it works. `ls -A` outputs multiple files on each line, yet `wc -l` catches them all. I would think you'd need `ls -A -1 | wc -l`.

Comment Post #286758 Sounds very promising, but not working for me (X, st terminal, zsh). Even so, I'd like to map this behavior to the default `yy`.
