"Perhaps this is what the devs intended" -> Hardly so, were that the case our $HOME would be littered with links.
But this is the source code:

photo_path = g_get_user_special_dir (G_USER_DIRECTORY_PICTURES);
g_free (priv->photo_path);

Warum gehst du denn davon aus, dass der Fragender Deutsch spricht?
In any case it would be better to stick to English, as that's what most people can understand. (more) |

If not a modeline (that you would have to add to every such file anyway, right?), an autocmd would very likely allow it. (more) |

I always use `mpv --profile=low-latency --untimed av://v4l2:/dev/video0`, then press S to take picture, it will go to the current directory.
I'm not writing this as an answer because you mention "can cope with things like multiple cameras being connected and disconnected". With MPV you would need... (more) |

Isn't that simply what you wrote in the other comment? I.e. `date +%Y-%m-%d_%T`?

In Vifm that would be easy.
```
noremap <F6> :!mv %f /destdir/<CR>
```
Would make F6 move the selected files to `/destdir/`. Maybe Ranger has something similar? (more) |

Well, each locale does have a different time format.
```
$ LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 date +%x~%X
10/09/2023~01:08:12 PM
$ LC_TIME=ru_RU.utf8 date +%x~%X
09.10.2023~13:08:17

A: How to set the default time format in Linux Debian. You can define the `LCTIME` environment variable. In `/.profile` if you start you session in a login shell or else `/.bashrc`, put export LCTIME=ruRU.UTF-8 For example, % LCTIME=ruRU.UTF-8 date Сб 07 окт 2023 13:39:21 CEST will make the output format be in Russian, That o...

If you don't really need the Git history, but just the current snapshot of the repository, and the repository is large, then `git clone --depth 1 --shallow-submodules` could significantly speed up the process.
Otherwise, though I don't think I used it myself, passing `--verbose` might provide some... (more) |

Once you are absolutely sure that the device is /dev/sda — which surprises me, as that is usually mapped to the main storage device, so please double-check if trying it —, you could try the disk destroyer.

```
If it doesn't work I'm afraid nothing wi... (more) |

Some text was still missing indeed, sorry!
You could try
:inoremap <tab> <C-t>
for insert mode, though that will always insert a given number of spaces or tabs without respecting the list level.

Your example only shows the case of a "top level" indentation. Should the solution also be extensible to non top levels?, i.e.
```
1. aaaaa
1.1. bbbbbbbbbbbbbb
bbbbbbbbbbbb

You mention \<ESC\>\<Tab\> but not the mode (normal or insert)? Note that \<Tab\> = \<C-i\> so if you map one yo... (more) |

A: Vim: Can a different style be applied to a vim-terminal? All available "styles" are listed in `:help highlight-groups`. You will find that `hl-Terminal` is one of them. As an example, to make the Vim terminal background dark blue, use :hi Terminal ctermbg=darkblue guibg=darkblue `guibg` applies for Gvim and `ctermbg` for terminal Vim. (more) |

Haha funny thing...

A: Is the site name "Power User" or "Power Users"? I think Power Users sounds better, but for an objective argument, and correct me if I'm wrong: It's easier to change a couple of image files than all textual occurrences of Power Users (besides the ones you mention, it's also used in the Help section), and particularly the URL itself which would r...

@#56802,
1\. All in a single list? I don't think so. You can always find each of them with `:h :delete`, etc.
2\. `!` is not a register, it's a "modifier" available in many Ex commands. See `:h :pu` for example.
3\. Yes, but you would need to modify the MWE so as to step 2 be `"sdd` instead.... (more) |

It's possible that your processor throttles as a safety measure due to hitting a given temperature. You could use a hardware monitor to verify if that is true. (I can't recommend one since I'm not a Windows user.)
Turbo Boost is common nowadays but AFAIK it boils down to the same concept. (more) |
