• You're using function keys wrong

  I've been doing this for >10 years with https://manytricks.com/butler/. Works great! You can also bind snippets of text, scripts, etc. I can't overstate how important it is to have a keyboard that groups function keys into "islands" of (generally) 4 so you can touch-type them. An ergonomics consultant once observed that the source of my neck pain was that I looked at the keyboard while typing. As a touch-typist, I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Maccy is an open source lightweight and searchable clipboard manager for macOS

  LaunchBar[0], which predates Alfred but is similar in function, also has a fantastic searchable clipboard manager. LaunchBar's manager includes a feature that I've not been able to find in any other clipboard manager: a push/pop stack. With this feature you can, for example, copy a bunch of different items from a web page on to the stack, then paste them sequentially in a web form and pop them from the stack so... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• What apps do you install on your MacBook Pro to improve performance and usability?

  LaunchBar is something I personally find a more useful and better considered tool than Alfred, though they're aimed at doing the same thing. It also comes with a great clipboard persister and manager. Every time you start doing things in LaunchBar, you can type a couple of letters to filter the list of candidates down, which means juggling a 100 item clipboard history becomes very easy to manage.

• Clipboard app for regularly used text

  I use the one integrated into Launchbar. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What is the best clipboard archiving utility for macbook?

  Launchbar will persist up to 100 clipboard items, with full-text search and access. I use it constantly. The rest of Launchbar is horrendously useful - the best of the 'accessory' tools, IMO. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Executor

  Executor helps you quickly launch programs and internet searches, manage clipboard and running apps, and provides a calculator, customizable file path autocomplete and browsable history. JaJe92 adds, "Best file indexer I am still using… use a combo of key, quickly type partial name of a software/file/folder, press enter and you're in.". Source: 12 months ago

• Should I be using venv in native Windows 11 or venv in WSL for projects?

  I use it regularly after I finish a session or am about to install something notable and want to preserve my work up to then. I use a hot key manager called Executor. Make sure you install it from the developer's website. Source: about 1 year ago

• What computer feature don't most people know about?

  Download a hotkey manager and you can setup hotkeys to do various things. It's much easier to keep track of them than trying to do it with shortcut properties. I use Executor.. Source: about 1 year ago

• Should I be creating a WSL "install" for each project?

  To manage hotkeys, I use this app https://executor.dk. Source: about 1 year ago

• Only recently found this out: the reason windows file search is so slow is because searching file contents is enable by default. Disabling it (to search file names only) is so much faster

  You accidentally made the link point to executor.tk instead of executor.dk Looks interesting. I may check it out, and compare it to Everything. Source: over 1 year ago
