"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

$ LC_TIME=ru_RU.utf8 date +%x~%X

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.

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) |

Haha funny thing...

@#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) |

@#54036777 For these kind of applications, I'm afraid you are right. People are likely to just search for "calculator", use the first one that fits, and go away.

I am inclined to agree with @#36396. To me this is off-topic, because the question boils down to "how to monetize a web page?" and I wouldn't call it a survey of software, but of third-party services to do so — after all one could always easily put up his own first-party ads ("selling this car, conta...

Have you considered donations? Of course this will highly depend on your site's profile and audience, but on the other hand advertisements are the web's plague. They attempt to track and distract users. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the visitors used adblock anyway. (more) |

Assuming this is not available as a option to `git` itself, stating your operating system is important (unless you want to gather information for all of them).

I agree that would be the expected behavior in most vanilla setups, however if you click the link from a window in workspace 1 and the browser is at workspace 2, I wouldn't be surprised if the focus was kept on the window in workspace 1. The same if you assigned the browser to always open on workspac... (more) |

Preventing all new windows from stealing focus would solve this problem, but I don't think you would like that, right?

Indeed, appending the warp setting to `/etc/gtk-3.0` also has no effect. But thanks for yo... (more) |

@#53305 It is not a text file, although some parts of it are plain text, so it is really not that difficult. `histdel` looks good indeed, but it works with regular expressions, which makes it a considerably more error-prone than editing `.viminfo` by hand. (more) |

@#53305 `file -i .viminfo` says: `.viminfo: application/octet-stream; charset=binary`. It is a binary file.
