Using Ctrl+V to paste unformatted text by default

https://superuser.com/questions/73450/using-ctrlv-to-paste-unformatted-text-by-default-in-openoffice-orgs-calc

You can also just switch the assigned keys from Paste to Paste Unformatted, and from Paste Unformatted to Paste. I've done this in version 6.4. I haven't tested the idea in Calc or any other module.

What you want to do is change the keystrokes that are associated with the “Paste Unformatted” and “Paste” commands. You do this using the Keyboard Customization tool.

Start by choosing Tools –> Customize. When the dialog box appears, select the “Keyboard” tab.  A dialog box containing 4 panels and some control buttons appears.  The top panel contains a list of every key the system allows modifying along with the command that key performs.  For example, pressing F2 starts a formula expression; F11 invokes the styles panel.

Keyboard Customization Dialog Box

In the Category panel, lower left corner, scroll down and highlight the Edit Category.

In the Function Panel, scroll down, and highlight Paste. The Keys panel displays "Ctrl+Shift+V". Highlight that keystroke and click the Delete button (upper right). Leave this Function unassigned for the moment.

Now highlight the Paste Unformatted Text item in the Function box. The Keys panel will display "Ctrl+V". Click Delete for this key. Now neither function has a keystroke associated with it.

To associate Ctrl+Shift+V with the Paste Unformatted Text Function, go to the Shortcut Keys panel and highlight the Ctrl+Shift+V option. Click the Modify button. "Ctrl+Shift+V" now appears in the Keys panel on the lower left.

Go back to the Paste option in the Function panel. Find "Ctrl+V" in the top Shortcut Keys panel, highlight it and press the Modify button on the right. "Ctrl+V" appears in the Keys panel on the lower left.

Click OK. Your two paste functions are now associated with the keystrokes in the way you want them.








lAdd repository and install from this source

install Epic Games Store from: https://lutris.net/games/epic-games-store/



Install game on Windows, but run it with Lutris & share savegames:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/k0qxcj/is_it_possible_to_use_lutris_for_installed_games/

so the comamnd would look like thsi if you're inside the wineprefix in the above location:

ls -s ./ /windows/c/Users/You-Handsome-Guy/AppData/MyGames/My-Awesome-Game-Saves/

This way you should be able to play the game with shared save game on both systems just fine without making them interfering with each other except of the actual game files.

Clear Spotify cache

https://superuser.com/questions/649208/clearing-spotify-cache-to-recover-disk-space

By default, Spotify limits its cache to 10% of your free space, which means the default setting should be okay—but if you've changed it, you could run into disk space problems. All you need to do is delete the files in the following folder (for your platform):

Windows: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage

OS X: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Caches/com.spotify.client/Storage/

Linux: ~/.cache/spotify/Storage/



Installed with Snap on Ubuntu this config file for me was found at ~/snap/spotify/current/.config/spotify/prefs



Add or modify the line starting with storage.size to the number of megabytes you want the cache to use. For example:

storage.size=512

Get root access for copying files to /usr/share/...?

https://askubuntu.com/questions/10435/get-root-access-for-copying-files-to-usr-share

/usr/ is owned by the root account so to write files in there you need to write them as root. Two methods (there are undoubtedly more but here are the two main ways for most users):



  1. Press Alt+F2 to get a run dialogue and in that type gksu nautilus. This will open up a file browser window running as root. Copy your files across but be careful, you can nuke the system like this.

  2. A much more direct method is just loading up a terminal and writing:
    sudo cp -R /path/to/files/you/want/copied/ /copy/to/this/path/
    (the -R is just there to recursively copy directories)



If you ever want to fire off multiple commands as root without prepending them all with sudo you can run sudo -i or sudo su and you'll get a root terminal. But again, be careful what you do.





OR:

sudo gnome-terminal





OR:
