A: Circulate through spaces on macOS 11 Another approach is to use Karabiner-Elements. As a first step, I created to executable shell scripts, which will switch to the previous/next space using the handy tool SpaceInfo `Spaceprev`: ``` #!/bin/zsh export CurrentSpace=$(/Applications/SpaceInfo/SpaceInfo --active-space) export All...

| Question | — |
Circulate through spaces on macOS 11 Back in the days of OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, one could circulate from the last space to the first space, e.g. if one was on the last space and used the keyboard shortcut to go to the next space, it would bring you to the first space. I asked a similar question for Mavericks at https://apple.stackexc... (more) |

Do we want an update for our logo? "Why an update?" you might ask. The current logo looks nice, but there are a couple of problems which could be solved with an updated logo: - Is the site name "Power User" or "Power Users"? - Is the mouse cursor in the Power User logo an accessibility problem? I doodeled around a bit and came... (more) |

A: Programmatically changing the keyboard illumination in small steps Instead of trying to build my own touch bar, I'm now using Karabiner Elements to remap the existing keys on the touchbar to the desired behaviour. The following configuration will remap the screen brightness, keyboard illumination and volume keys to change their settings in small increments: ``... (more) |

A: How to make background transparent and trim to content I don't know if or if not this is possible from within grafx2, but your manual workflow can be simplified dramatically by using image magick. The following command will do all your steps at once and reproducibly: ``` convert test.gif -transparent white -gravity south -chop x60 -trim output.png `... (more) |

A: Permanently disable motivational messages and animations on duolingo.com The problem is that these two settings are only stored in the local storage of the browser and not transmitted to duolingo.
