Locking the system before going to sleep ensures that the system never shows an unlocked desktop when waking up from sleep. If the screen locker fails to start for some reason, this fact becomes clear sooner rather than later. Going back to sleep automatically prevents the system from remaining active if woken up by accident.https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2024/01/06/extended-usages-of-the-primary-selection/Sat, 06 Jan 2024 00:50:20 +0100https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2024/01/06/extended-usages-of-the-primary-selection/When some text is selected, it becomes the primary selection. Other applications can then access this primary selection. The most common usage is to paste it by middle clicking elsewhere, but that’s really the full extent of the interactions that are currently available1. There is a lot of unexplored potential in this feature. For example, it is perfectly feasible to have some desktop-wide special menu with actions that apply on it.https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2022/10/04/shotman-0.2-development-update-part-2/Tue, 04 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2022/10/04/shotman-0.2-development-update-part-2/After the initial proof of concept of the shotman rewrite, my next goal was to have an implementation that could fully replace the previous version for daily usage. My main use of shotman is “take screenshot of current window”, and I have two other (less frequent) use cases. They are all mapped to global hotkeys: Super+p to screenshot the current window. Super+Shift+p to screenshot a region. Super+Ctrl+p to screenshot the entire output.https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2022/08/28/shotman-0.2-development-update-part-1/Sun, 28 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2022/08/28/shotman-0.2-development-update-part-1/Update: This article was renamed to “part 1” when publishing part 2. These last couple of week I’ve been putting a lot of time into shotman. Shotman is a small GUI tool I wrote a few months ago. It shows a small preview window when a screenshot is saved, and has controls to copy the screenshot into clipboard or delete it right away. The previous version was 0.1. This newly written version is to be 0.https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2020/06/14/zoom-screensharing-on-archlinux/Sun, 14 Jun 2020 20:23:46 +0200https://whynothugo.nl/journal/2020/06/14/zoom-screensharing-on-archlinux/Zoom doesn’t support screen sharing on Linux unless you’re using GNOME or X11. Also, Zoom only runs via XWayland (a compatibility layer for older applications). XWayland doesn’t really support desktop scaling, which is why it looks so blurry: This is a very funny message, and not really something that’s an option for desktop users. Saying “please use a different desktop” is not really realistically applicable advise. Changing something like the desktop environment on an OS is a great recipe for disaster.
