So . . . not relevant to my comment?

OK, I see some differences between your two screenshots, but what's the relevance to my comment?

I don't know what I should be noticing there. I can't see any text for the tool buttons along the left edge of the window.

I have trouble with both, but more experience with GIMP. I can't stand all the little tool buttons with no text. I want the name of each tool always visible on its button.

I have the same problem with Inkscape.

It's more about replacing typed text than using shortcuts, but there's espanso.

Ok next time I won't use your computer.

I'll just second the suggestion that KDE Plasma is worth a try, as it's very adaptable once you know what you want. You don't need to install any addons for the functionality you describe, just open the Shortcuts settings, KWin category, and have at it.

Ooh I haven't seen this one. Anyone have a comment on this vs the KleverNotes project? I think that's the name.

The Power and Battery widget now responds to middle-clicks and scrolls: middle-click will block or re-enable automatic sleep and screen locking, and scrolling will change the active power profile

Scrolling on the battery applet is how I adjust my brightness. Is that no longer a thing?

Have you checked the system settings page that includes compositor stuff?

I just grabbed it. The dash cam features might possibly be useful on a bike (?). But I tried and tried and couldn't find the magic zoom level for it to show me the name of the street I'm on, got frustrated, and uninstalled.

Thanks!

This link doesn't work for me. Do you have an alternative/original? I'd like to read some context and explanation.

I'm not off Google Maps either, but the closest to replacing it for me is Organic Maps, FWIW.

Thanks, I have, but it's not a replacement for me. I'll try it again once a year though.

Some combination of things like performance, non distracting presentation, the minimap, multi cursor that works how I like, some plugins I like, no web browser, the way every open buffer is always safe and saved in some cache without necessarily saving to the edited file, the UX for split view across tabs, minimal fuss to get UI text and colors legible for my bad eyesight, etc.

Sublime Text, Google Photos, Google Maps (partially)

Two books that may be helpful:

• Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho
• Python Distilled by David M. Beazley

I'm more familiar with the former, and think it's very good, but it may not give you the basic introduction to object oriented programming (classes and all that) you're looking for; the latter should.

I've never had a Statamic site myself, didn't know about it till this thread. I like site generators but don't want to invest energy in ones that don't handle colors very well. I don't want to have to override colors, either as a user or developer, though I often do. For a an SSG anyway I want to be able to trust the tool to handle legibility.

I'm also terrible with HTML and CSS.

No. In addition to browsers' prefers-dark-mode setting, there is also the fallback foreground and background color choice, used whenever a website does not specify a foreground or background color. One common case is when viewing a plain unstyled site or txt file.

A dark-mode preferring user might choose for these fallbacks a light foreground and dark background. The problem is then that some designers will carelessly specify either the foreground or background color (and not both), assuming that their choice will happen to have good contrast with every user's browser preferences.

More low contrast examples from the Statamic docs:

In Firefox's preferences page those settings are accessed with the "Manage Colors" button just below dark-mode selection, and look like this:

Notice that I am not overriding any colors specified by the page.
