OutdoorOfficeCulture 🌳💻 – Arbeiten neu gedacht!

Meine Session beim #BusinessCamp #Bonn zeigte: Die #ZukunftDerArbeit braucht neue Umgebungen! 🏖  Wir erkundeten, wie #Outdoor #Workplaces Kreativität & Produktivität fördern – z.B. vom eiskalten 1to1 in Finnland 🇫🇮

#OutdoorOffice #Workspaces beweisen: Arbeit geht auch jenseits der vier Wände – von Parkbank 🪑 bis Outdoor-Hideaway. 🌿
Danke an alle beim #BizBonn25!
Wer hat’s schon ausprobiert? 🌱

I recently discovered Foresight, a pretty neat #GNOME Shell extension, where it "automagically" opens Activities on empty workspaces.
I've been using for a few days, I can't live without it now :blobfox:

I don't use extensions on GNOME (except GSConnect) but now for me it's a must have.

Kudos to @pesader for this!

Have decided to give #ZenBrowser another go, but with conditions:

In case anyone wonders, this [temporary?] change from my hitherto daily :firefox_nightly: [#FirefoxNightly + #Sidebery + #uBlockOrigin + #FirefoxSecondSidebar] has nothing to do with the recent global #FUD wrt Mozilla's #TOU / #EULA, but instead is due to the aesthetic pleasantness of :zenbrowser: & the desire to use its #SplitTabView #TabSplitView #TabPaneView; two undeniable advantages over Nightly.

* the Zen subreddit is full of users posting that Zen spontaneously lost all their tabs, or all their pinned tabs, or all their unpinned tabs. In my own past months of using Zen with its native #Workspaces & tabs, it also happened to me, twice, & it is most exasperating.

@nekohayo Sigh.

Firefox's reputation is in ashes

Only in the minds of peeps more influenced by #FUD than facts. 🙄🤦‍♀️

tab workspaces (a.k.a. tab groups

Workspaces are not the same as tab groups. #FirefoxNightly has had viable native #TabGroups now for several weeks [for both H & V tab arrangements], but still has no #Workspaces. If you want actual proper literal Workspaces, you need to use any of Vivaldi, #Floorp, or #ZenBrowser. However, be aware:

  • Zen is only based on FF 136, so unlike Nightly, atm does NOT have properly working Tab Groups.
  • Floorp 11 is based on FF ESR, so uses its own in-house #VerticalTabs, & has no tab groups [but good Workspaces]
  • Floorp 12 is atm in Beta, is based on FF 136, so does have FF's native vertical tabs, but like Zen, atm its Tab Groups are very broken [like they also once were in Nightly, but now are good, so eventually they will also come good here]. It does have Workspaces already, but atm they & many other features in this early Beta are not working properly.

I have #LinuxMint 22.1 installed now. No major issues. Searched for my backup browser, #Vivaldi, in the Software Manager, and got "No matching packages found." So grabbed the deb from their site, and when I go to install it, I get a popup saying "This package is available in the repositories." Yeah.

Then when I did install Vivaldi, it wouldn't sync to my account. The username and passwords worked, but no bookmarks or extensions and such transferred over. Ah well, I allow for such in the fresh installs I do on alternating SSDs with each new release, and have screenshots of my extension page, and exported bookmarks and such, so I can reconstruct it.

No further regressions in the colored emojis that went sour in v21. I dislike the new OSD for changing #workspaces. Turned that off and am letting the Workspace Grid applet display a 3×3 grid on the panel. Works fine, though I wish it were as bright as the icons beside it, not dark-grey on near-black in dark mode.

In Wilma, PrintScr didn't work for Screenshot, but I was able to re-assign its combinations to Pause. In #Xia, "show the workspace selection screen" does nothing with its default Alt+F1 shortcut or any other key combo I try, but I found online how to assign a Custom Shortcut to make Alt+F1 give a dbus-send command to ShowExpo, and that works now.

Also, while Ctrl+Alt+Right and Ctrl+Alt+Left allow me to move within the 456 row, Ctrl+Alt+Down and Ctrl+Alt+Up don't get me to the 123 or 789 row, despite being turned on in Workspace Grid, and cleared from their normal meanings in Keyboard Shortcuts. Odd, but I use Ctrl+Alt+Num[1–9] anyway.

Tip #612

Add emojis to your Workspaces that reflect their contents.

When you create a new workspace, you can select an icon for it from one of Vivaldi’s presets or from a small selection of emojis. But your options aren’t limited to the 20 emojis you see in the menu, you can use any common emoji to decorate your Workspaces.

To add a custom emoji:

  1. Open the Workspaces menu and add a new workspace or find an existing one you want to update.
  2. Click on the current icon in front of the workspace’s name.
  3. Go to the Emoji view.
  4. Click on the “Paste any emoji here” field.
  5. Enter your preferred emoji:
    • Option 1 – Copy and paste an emoji (for example, from https://emojipedia.org)
    • Option 2 – Open your operating system’s emoji picker (right-click in the field > Emojis & Symbols) and select one from there.

#customization #workspaces

https://tips.vivaldi.net/tip-612/

A while ago, I posted about #kde and a #kwin script that adds temporary desktops. I’ve been a regular #gnome user since gnome 40 and loved how it handled #workspaces. This script almost replicated that Gnome #workflow, but it was missing one thing: in Gnome, you always have at least 2 desktops, and new ones are created as you fill up the existing ones. I’ve now added that feature to the script.

github.com/Ubiquitine/temporar

And this is how it looks

I move from one #workspace to the next in #LinuxMint #Cinnamon with Ctrl+Alt+2 (or any NumPad number, whether NumLock is on or off). It bothered me a bit that the #numpad put 1-2-3 at the bottom and 7-8-9 at the top, but the Workspace Selection Screen (Alt+F1) did the reverse.

Then I realized I could assign the keys to switch to #workspaces "incorrectly", so Ctrl+Alt+3 switched to Workspace 9, for example. I could also relabel the workspaces "incorrectly" to make what is internally Workspace 9 show up as Workspace 3.

So now I've made a note in my setup file, and when I install a new version of Linux Mint every six months, a few minutes changing #keyboard #shortcuts will make everything appear and work logically, even if it's all a lie internally. #ScreenshotSaturday
