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? So, could Windows figure whether the new Chrome windows was opened because you clicked a link on Skype, or because you directly invoked Chrome etc. to take a different focus policy d... (more) |

Arguably, bitrate is incorrect, just as infectionrate, reactionrate etc. It's interesting that Microsoft decides to call it bitrate in the Video group, and bit rate in the audio group. (more) |

@#53196 As documented, `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0` (that amounts to `~/.config/gtk-3.0`) is also one of those places, and the fact that I can successfully change my theme there confirms it is a working location. Indeed, appending the warp setting to `/etc/gtk-3.0` also has no effect. But thanks for yo... (more) |

Make left-click warp the scrollbar thumb position instead of paging down/up I want the scrollbar to wrap to the pointer location when I click in an empty space (a.k.a. the trough or track) of it. What happens instead is that the scrollbar thumb just displaces the equivalent of a page down/up — tested on Firefox, GIMP and Abiword. Using Shift as a modifier while clicking ... (more) |

A: Open file from vifm in split view From the FAQ: > No, unfortunately it's not possible. Allowing this would require embedding terminal multiplexer into Vifm, which is kinda silly because it is a file manager. The compromise is to run Vifm inside terminal multiplexer and provide some integration between them (there is already some ... (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.

| Question | — |
Delete command from Vim's command line history? Sometimes I accidentally enter a command with a typo in Vim, e.g. `:e!fil` instead of `:e!file`. As a consequence, the incorrect command clutters the history until it is evicted from the binary `.viminfo` file. Can that incorrect entry be deleted from the command line history? How? `:hel...

This is a very good option compared to Maxima when it comes to interactive sessions, since it allows one to use arrow keys properly and even has history of commands via the Readline library. (more) |

A: Matrix solution software You could use Maxima. Some packages offer a GUI (Xmaxima or Wxmaxima, if I'm not mistaken), but you can use it in the terminal.

The program should inverse a matrix. Alright, but does it need to be a browser program, or are you willing to install one? Windows, Linux, ...? Does it need to be free-software or free of charge? (more) |

@#8049 Thanks for bringing this up.
I'd say word processor is a subcategory of text editors, since both can edit (pure) text. But I agree that the question seeks a word processor, since it's about coloring words. Edited. (more) |

A: Simple text editor for Linux with support for coloring individual words Thanks to Samcarter for suggesting Abiword! It does quite more than just coloring text, but it's much lighter than Libreoffice (I only had to install two dependencies). Files can be saved in various formats, such as Abiword, plain text, PDF, doc and Postscript. (more) |

Simple text editor for Linux with support for coloring individual words I'm looking for a text processor that can color specific words, just like Microsoft Wordpad can (select a word -> click the color button -> choose a color), but for a GNU/Linux system. I have considered Libreoffice but it is too big and requires installing 60 dependencies. Since all I want is to c... (more) |
