General :: Lightweight Web Browser With Emacs-like Keybindings?

Aug 4, 2010

Uzbl uses hjkl for moving around, much like vim does. I was wondering if there was a browser (text based like links, or needing X like uzbl) which would be easy for someone used to emacs key bindings?Or if there is an emacs mode for having a buffer behave like a Links browser, but with emacs keybindings to move around...[For linux systems, please ideally something available through AUR or a debian package or both]

General :: Keyboard Shortcuts - Global Emacs-like Keybindings

Jul 16, 2011

I'm trying to emulate behaviour I get from KeyRemap4MacBook on Mac OS X. It lets me remap control-m to Enter, for instance, globally. Is this possible with X/GNOME? Seems like xmodmap is not suitable for remapping key combinations. I tried xbindkeys to bind control-m to xdotool key Return, but it emits control-return. I tried xdotool keyup control; xdotool key Return; xdotool keydown control but it stills behaves unpredictably.

General :: Very Lightweight OS For An Old Laptop?

Apr 15, 2011

I recently tried to install Ubuntu on an old disused laptop I inherited. I bought a new hard disk just for the purpose. Unfortunately it crashes when trying to install Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Mint. Long story short, not enough RAM and an old processor are the cause. I was wondering if there are any very lightweight OS out there for old computers. I realize it depends on what I want to use the laptop for. But I dont know what I want to use it for until it is usable. SO I'm just looking for anything. I found this linux distro : [URL]..

General :: Lightweight PDF Alternatives That Support Tabs?

Jul 20, 2010

Adobe Reader is the best, but it's so resource heavy. It takes almost 10% of my 8GB ram. Evince has trouble with highlighting text and does not support tabs. Foxit Reader for Linux does not support tabs. Any assistance in choosing an appropriate PDF viewer that supports these features on Linux and isn't too resource intensive?

General :: Lightweight Desktop Environment For Netbook?

Aug 2, 2010

I'm currently installing Arch Linux on my old netbook. What desktop environment should I use? GNOME and KDE both seem way too big and unnecessarily fancy for what I want to do with my basic netbook. I just want internet, read pdfs, run emacs. no fancy stuff. What should I use? xfce? lxde? and why?

General :: Lightweight That Is Compatible With TrueCrypt And JDownloader?

Feb 5, 2010

I need such a OS on a old system for mass downloading and experimenting downstairs. Also I would prefer if it doesn't require too much Linux know-how and is operable by my Windows 7 system via networking. It doesn't need to be compatible with TrueCrypt or JDownloader specifically if alternative software for it exists.

General :: Favorite Lightweight Desktop Environment?

Jul 22, 2011

For a while I have been searching for a new desktop environment to use on my netbook, since gnome 3 is too heavy for it. Currently it is running ubuntu because unity is lighter than gnome 3, but I am planning to go back to fedora at some point in time. So far I found LXDE to be my favorite, after trying XFCE and Enlightenment.I'm not looking for a solution here, just opinions, what is your favorite lightweight desktop environment (and with which WM if you wish) and why?

General :: Gnome - Lightweight Window Manager For Virtual Desktop / Multimon?

Jan 16, 2011

Previous used Ubuntu Gnome with Compiz but for my basic spec intel macbook (4 years old) its a little too heavyweight. So for now Im back on my macbook with os x, but now considering going back to Linux. Im looking for a window manager that has the following properties:

Supports virtual desktop (need 4 minimum) Works well with multi monitors - can move an app with shortcut from one monitor to the other (on same virtual desktop) Can remember window position (i.e. open vim on 2 monitor) - however must coerce everything back to first screen when 2nd screen is unplugged Keyboard shortcut friendly Not too hard to install Works well with minimum hardware such as integrated graphics.

General :: Lightweight Word Processor With Decent Features And Few Dependencies - Exist

Mar 18, 2010

Using Arch Linux. I am looking for a good word processor. I don't need a lot of file format support. Only RTF (for WordPad on W$). I want one that it is easy to use. I've been searching on Google and these are the ones that constantly show up. I have tried them, and don't like them. (Abiword was OK, but I couldn't get spell-check to work...)Just something light and easy to use, with just the usual features. I don't want a billion features. All I want is something I don't have to fight against to get a nice looking, presentable document. Emacs, Vi and *TeX* are not very easy to use, so don't mention the 'advanced' ones like that.

Ubuntu :: Xmonad - Keybindings Without Mod?

Jul 16, 2011

recently added xmonad and seems pretty fun! was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to add keybindings that don't start with the modmask key..reason needed is that i want to have the win key to be the modmask and then need shift+alt to switch between two languages. So far I've "hacked" it by writing a script that switches between the two languages whenever it runs, and I've bound that to modmask + shift however this causes problems whenever I press modmask + shift for other shortcuts...

Also, how do you make keybindings work for different languages.. effectively what I need is identify each key as a key rather than as a character.

Ubuntu :: Global Keybindings For Gnote / Where Are They Set?

Apr 30, 2010

I'm looking for the file in which global keybindings are set for Gnote. The man page claims they are stored in gconf --> '/apps/gnote/global_keybindings/open_start_here', /apps /gnote/global_keybindings/show_note_ menu'

I have a ~/.gconf/apps/gnote directory, but no files to set the individual keybindings. The keybindings work and can be set from within gnote, so i know they have to be somewhere on my system. Anyone have any ideas where I might look? I'm using Openbox on a Karmic command line install. I have no gconf-editor, and gnote looks to be the only program installed that uses gconf.

Software :: Screen/byobu Keybindings Not Working?

May 16, 2010

I've used screen for a little while and just found out about byobu.I much prefer the byobu keybindings over the C-a nonsense that screen needs. However, I have no need for the byobu status bar, as I have conky running as well, with nice fonts too. I edited my byobu profile and commented out

Code:
# Window tabs, second to last line
# caption always "%12`%?%-Lw%50L>%?%{=r}%n*%f %t%?(%u)%?%{-}%12`%?%+Lw%?%11` %=%12`%110`%109`%122`%111`%10`%

[code]...

as their comments suggest they are the two status lines I do not care for. I'm not sure if it's because of this, but now the screen creation and switching keybinds do not work, even though in the config options for byobu I have it set to use the f-keys keybind set.I can still retitle, detach and pull up the byobu options with f-keys.Additionally, by default I can just scroll up with the scroll wheel, need to enter scrollback mode, which seems strange as their is a keybind for "Scrollback Mode"

Debian Multimedia :: GUI For Customizing Keybindings To 4th And 5th Mouse Buttons?

Mar 21, 2011

I'm trying to find a GUI program (not a terminal command) to bind the 4th and 5th buttons on my mouse to ALT+Tab and Escape. I tried BTNX however I encountered the error "btnx-config needs the file /etc/btnx/events to run". A good example of what I'm looking for with screenshots on it's site is X-Mouse Button Control which I've been using on XP however it's not available for Linux.

General :: Lightweight Ubuntu Install Using Alternate Install CD?

Jan 19, 2011

I am trying to do a 'light' install of Ubuntu 10.04 using the alternate install CD. Here is how i am planning to do it:

1. Perform a console only installation(Standard system only on d-i tasksel)
2. Install gnome-core
3. Then install the packages i need using apt.

1. Would such an installation lead have any significant performance(RAM usage) advantage over a full fledged installation?

2. Is there a way i could install gnome-core from the installation CD instead of downloading them from the repository?

3. Would installing just gnome-core mean that synaptic & update-manager wouldn't be available? i am hoping that it wouldn't be the case I checked their dependencies from packages.ubuntu.com, it doesn't look like they need gnome-desktop-environment to be installed first.

4. Would such an install have any more device driver related issues (eg.display drivers) than a regular install?

General :: How To Get A Decent Emacs Setup

Mar 11, 2011

I am currently interested in switching from vim to emacs.One of the more compelling reasons for this is the smooth integration with a unix environment. The most experienced emacs users I have seen have a bash prompt at the bottom of their window, with stdout going to a buffer right above it. They then interact with the output of programs such as grep in interesting ways.I am on Ubuntu 10.04 and the default emacs environment does not seem to do much for me in the way of integration. For example, in the M-x shell mode, output from basic commands like ls produce lots of strange characters and hitting the up arrow does not go to previous commands.

General :: How To Open Emacs In Its Own Window

Aug 20, 2010

I am doing some project work and for that using the server at college with ssh connection. Every time I try to open emacs on the terminal after connecting, it opens emacs in the terminal itself i.e. not its own window. On my laptop on which ubuntu is installed, emacs always opens up in its own window an thats how I am used to it. There are several problems when it opens in the terminal like when I try to use commands such as M-V, actually terminal's view menu opens up, its very frustrating. Also I am pretty sure that the college server runs on red hat and has X installed on it. So what do I need to do to get my emacs window back.

General :: Emacs Is How Much More Than Text Editor?

May 30, 2011

I was reading how you could browse the net with Emacs but then it was stated that it was done with another application like Firefox so this would imply that Emacs is an interpreter would it not? What is Emacs capable of? Is it an interpreter that runs a text editor?

General :: Web Search Engines And Emacs / Vim

Nov 8, 2010

The facilities offered by any text editor to look for a string are highly superior to those offered by search engines such as that of Google or the one used by LQ>Search. To only speak of the most one elementary that comes to my mind, you can reach 'john smith' by searching with the string 'hn smi' in any decente editor, but I know of no search engine that offers this feature.

On the other hand, I have always heard of the power of Vim and Emacs. For instance, they say there is no thing Emacs cannot do. Lets advocate to the job of adding Google searches the ability to find 'john smith' by using 'hn smi' as the matching pattern. Or to add regular expression capabilities. Could I use Vim/Emacs to solve this problem?

A little light into the meaning of my words: It would be Vim/Emacs the one in charge of making the Internet connection, connecting to Google and send appropriate commands go Google. Then, to look for my string, I would be directly using Vim/Emacs which, upon receiving my commands, would send the appropriate ones to Google and return control to me.
