Basically, you can choose some slides from an opened .tex file to copy. It also has the function to see which graphics files are included in the selected files, so you know which ones to copy.

Here is the Github link: https://github.com/Atreyagaurav/beamer-quickie

The PDF pages are shown using the SyncTeX (if available) so that you can visually choose the slides as long as there is a single .tex source file, (might still work without synctex for simple cases).

I've made it on Linux, so it hasn't been tested in windows. You probably will need to compile gtk on Windows if you want to make it work. So if someone is really interested let me know, I can give instructions. Even in linux you'll need to install dependencies.

I was wondering if anyone here knew how to create a "curly" apostrophe in LaTeX without having to type out the unicode character for it. I know that the csquotes package is an option, but this only appears to allow making curly single and double quote pairs. I don't want quotes. I want a curly, single apostrophe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Very glad to see this community here. Does it welcome posts also about other TeX flavours such as XeTeX or LuaTeX etc? (Maybe this can be explained explicitly in the sidebar?)

I was reading an old TUGboat article about "sensible defaults" where the author set \tolerance to 250 and no \emergencystretch or \hfuzz.

Now, my columns usually end up being around 55-65 characters wide, which isn't that wide, but in any longer text I'm lucky if I can stay under badness 1000 in underfull \hboxs. Some of those can be hyphenated or otherwise manipulated away, but 250 is hard to reach.

Is this just me? I'm curious where you usually land with \tolerance and badness? (For comparison maybe also mention the width of your paragraphs?)
