  • Shortcut for rotating canvas by 15° left or right without a mouse
    I don't like using my mouse while drawing and I couldn't find how to do this anywhere, but luckily when I was about to give up I achieved it! So, for this you'll need a program called SharpKeys. You can download it here: https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys/. Source: 4 months ago
  • Caps Lock Behaviour Disabled in Gnome
    Sharpkeys can swap keys, the readme says as much: > Things that SharpKeys will do: > ... > Allow you to swap two keys with each other - e.g. You can swap Left Windows with Left Control and vice versa I do have a vague recollection of Sharpkeys previously saying that it couldn’t, but that I tried and it worked. Long time since I last used Windows though. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Total Commander
    > Total commander isn’t FOSS. I'm aware of that. There are lots of FOSS equivalents, though. Including, I believe, on Windows. Wikipedia lists 23 of which I think -- haven't checked -- the majority are FOSS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_manager#Orthodox_file_managers > Ironically windows 11 can’t do vertical taskbars. True. Easily fixed with Explorer Patcher, though. Which, ironically, is FOSS. > And... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

    Remapping Capslock to Control: Windows: https://github.com/randyrants/sharpkeys Ubuntu Linux (don't know about other Linuxes): /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc

    Pretty easy if you're using something like Sharpkeys, there are also alternatives like AHK as mentioned above too. Source: 12 months ago
  • How to keep Num Lock always enabled?
    I find the Insert key extremely annoying (I especially hate it when I'm typing on Word, accidentally press it and then whatever I type overwrites text that's already been written, very irritating!) and I have disabled it with a tool called SharpKeys. Whenever I really need Insert (which is rare), I can still use the equivalent key found in the NumPad. Source: 12 months ago

    Yes, you can use the SharpKeys program to change an unused key to a multimedia key. Source: 12 months ago

    Sharpkeys - sharpkeys is software that is mentioned in the guide for the k8 and I would imagine that it is in the guide for other boards aswell. This allows you to remap some of the keys, its not great but it may be enough for some people. Source: about 1 year ago
