• 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.

• Win-Vind: Vim powers with speed of thought in Windows 11

  The best is https://fluentsearch.net/ that supports on screen keywords search as well as a powerful launcher and file indexer. For screen search it supports UIA as well as image/text based on OCR like search. It is the best and more accurate than win-vind. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Look at this, I finally was able to create custom window using WinUI. I think it's still very difficult for developers to port their applications to WinUI.

  I developed a similar app called Fluent Search, if you'd like to try it out - https://fluentsearch.net It can be changed to look similar to spotlight and is using Windows 11's design. Source: about 1 year ago

  Windows: Fluent Search. Blown away it's not a part of Windows - https://fluentsearch.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Upgraded to Windows 11 in hopes of a better search function. Am I doing something wrong? I look for "do" knowing I have a file on my pc called "do.txt" and the BEST MATCH is "Steam"? I'd bet I have opened the do.txt more than Steam by now too!
