1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I do ctrl + enter for terminal, with super+enter being used to launch emacs

    โ—‰โ โ€ฟโ โ—‰ The Win-key isn't real

    For me it's the (custom-ordered) Arch logo key โ—‰โ โ€ฟโ โ—‰

    Using it in Linux is a win.. HA!

    Super key? Windows key?

    Say what now?

    Typed on my 1991 ibm model m keyboard

    For me, it's:

    • mod + return for terminal
    • mod + e for file manager
    • mod + r for dmenu/bemenu
    • mod + d to switch to the next empty workspace.

    All because I have to work with win10 workstations and using a different, superior shortcut scheme would mess up my muscle memory. Remembering to use shutdown -s -f -t 0 instead of poweroff is difficult enough, and don't even get me started with the audacity to use curl as an alias for Invoke-WebRequest!

    Super + D for show desktop in my case.

    "Win"dows key? More like... Lose.....key

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Super + S for a terminal, Super + F for Firefox.

    At the time I decided on it, I used Sakura as a terminal emulator, plus it's on the home row. I use a different term emulator now, but the muscle memory remains.

    So you're telling me you don't have a bunch of tux stickers?

    For the key? No, it's not like I don't know what I'm running ๐Ÿ˜‚.

    I have to confess. I had to look up the shortcut for terminal because I haven't interacted with a Linux desktop in years. I'm a Windows cuck, but not a total imposter bc I've kept a debian server running on my network for years. Whenever something breaks or I do an update (the updates are invariably the cause of the breakage) I manage her with ssh.

    It's Ctrl+Alt+T on most DEs... but, that's way too many keys for my taste, so I usually just add Super+T as well (don't remove the default).

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

    Super + E here

    By far my most used hotkey in bspwm
