I noticed that your Tabletop for Two is no longer active. Have you given up on that?

General Software Discussion / Re: Tool to find where a hotkey press goes?
« Last post by wraith808 on February 04, 2022, 05:07 PM »
I could swear there was a tool that was discussed here years ago with the need to do just that (the mapping)... I don't think there was complete success at that time but I remember the discussion!

There was New program: Ethervane ActiveHotkeys (freeware), but the entire thread is dated 2009.

The app is also attached to the first post, so you can take your chance with that. Last update 2012.

Is either one of those what you were referring to?

The second one

Unless I was willing to pay, I wouldn't use that with a max of 10k notes.

You can also try for grins to use a path with no spaces- and looking for that, I see that's the correct answer.

1. Target is buried in the middle of clients 1,500,000 files/folders file server...  :D
2. Just for fun and curiosity, I tried it - and it still didn't work. Which actually, is rather interesting.

(I used the inhouse lab copy for this) Taking all spaced out of both path and filename, still caused the script to fail (same as before) at the add-content command … regardless of what I did to the string I was trying to pass in. So it seems at this point to be an issue with add-content itself, and how it needs/wants to be spoon-fed the string.

Gaaaa! - It's almost 5:00pm - Happy Thoughts, happy thoughts...

Did you try prefacing it with the &? Did that work?
180
Yeah, I can see now that it's not required - https://docs.microso...?view=powershell-7.2

So, what I did in order to do it and not worry about it (which is why I hadn't really notice) is captured the args into a variable. My paths are passed in as args from a batch file/commandline.

Worst case, you could do that.

You can also try for grins to use a path with no spaces- and looking for that, I see that's the correct answer.

https://stackoverflo...path-with-powershell

Use & to preface the string- it's like @ in c#.

181
Did you try \\? i.e.

Code: PowerShell [Select]
  1. $LogFile = "C:\\Users\\Me\\Them\\NPM Change Log.txt"
  2.    
  3.     $logline = "$(Get-Date), $ChangeType, $FullPath"
  4.     Add-content "$LogFile -value $logline

single \ is escaping the next character.

FastKeys could do that.



Note that it shows that exact use case in this image- you can assign more than one snippet to the same abbreviation, and even put a list of snippets on the regular context menu that you can launch with a hotkey.

Check hypernote if you want something zettel-like for the web and with collaboration built in

I looked up hypernote and found two different ones:

Is either one of those what you were referring to?

In addition to Lintalist and Auspex, here are a few:

Beeftext - https://beeftext.org/
Atext - https://www.trankynam.com/atext/
QuickTextPaste - https://www.software...osoft/QuickTextPaste
AutoText - https://www.jitbit.com/autotext/

... and

FastKeys - https://www.fastkeysautomation.com/

I put that one separately because it's paid. However, it does a lot more than asked, and if that's useful to you, it's $19.

It's probably because account surfer keeps a handle to chrome even though the window isn't shown for fast loading. I coded something like this for a different reason, and keeping it resident is the only way to get around the long loading time.
187
It looks like it's a Windows default program issue (triggered outside of Chrome). Perhaps it can be solved via a "toggle" for handling "mailto:" links.


No, it's not. The right app is being triggered. It's just the wrong profile.
188
I have the same problem. I've found that it opens it up in the last browser that you used. If someone can figure out how it tracks which window you last used and the profile for that one, it seems that would do the trick.

Steam Deck Launching February 25th
Hello, the day is almost here! On February 25th, we will be sending out the first batch of order emails to reservation holders. Customers will have 3 days (72 hours) from receipt of their order email to make their purchase, before their reservation is released to the next person in the queue. The first units will be on their way to customers starting the 28th, and we plan to release new order email batches on a weekly cadence.

In addition, we're sending out press units for full review shortly. Press review embargo on Steam Deck coverage will lift on February 25th, but keep an eye out for some preview coverage and impressions before that. In the meantime we're working to tie up the last few loose ends and polish some rough edges, and are excited to get these out to you at the end of next month!


Additional details for the curious:
  • We will start sending invites shortly after 10:00 am on February 25th, PST
  • Order emails are sent in the same order that reservations were made.
  • You can only order the Steam Deck model that you originally reserved.
  • Your reservation deposit will be applied to the final price of Steam Deck, and shipping costs are included.

I read somewhere that the best word to start with is "roate" because it eliminates more options than any other word.

or quote or quite or audio or or or


q and u aren't heavily used letters, though.

^ yes, it will only accept words. I got very stuck yesterday, had one vowel correct (o) and didn't get the other one (it was a y). In the end I gave up and put in a word I knew was incorrect.
the solution was
proxy


Even after you said that and I looked at it, I didn't put together that was today's word LOL. Failed :(
195
How do you guys collaborate with others (if at all) when using plain text? Say real time (like gdocs; MDhack for example) or asynchronoulsly (github for example)?

Liveshare, Cryptpad, HackMD and/or gdocs (which one depends on who I need to collaborate with), or for longer term, github or bitbucket.

What clues? I mean, there are cues from where you place the letters, but no clues about the final word, are there? Or did I just miss something?

that's what I was referring to.  I usually get as many vowels in play as possible up front (that's 2 attempts), then its a case of working out what words I can see from the remaining letters and any confirmed vowels.  Sometimes I throw in a word I know is wrong just to rule out some letters, depends how stuck I am (eg 1 known vowel in an unknown position doesn't give you much to work with...)

I do the same. That takes up three guesses, usually, in order to get them to the right locations. I've found that the guesses have to be words, so you can't just throw vowels at a guess. Have you had a different experience?

I miss days a lot. I still don't see how anyone gets it in the first 3 guesses without any other clues.

depends on the clues...I got it in 3 yesterday, but lately I've needed all 6 a couple of times

What clues? I mean, there are cues from where you place the letters, but no clues about the final word, are there? Or did I just miss something?

Well, there's Letterle as well, pretty much making Wordle obsolete.

doesn't seem like much of an alternative to me, just enter letters until you 'guess' the 'right one'....

Agreed.

While I agree there are better formats than markdown, I don't even care anymore lol.  For me, I have achieved the dream of writing text files any way I wish (as long as it's markdown format loll), in terms of I can do it in a text editor, obsidian, zettlr, who cares.  Beautiful!  Next, I can have webpages created instantly as I modify.  To me, this setup is basically future-proof, and now I'm just creating content.

This sums it up for me.

they can surely revert it or remove it
Remove yes, revert no.

Yes to revert, when they don't know if the account is hacked, and it's being reported as such. Once they found out it was not hacked, they let him put non-destructive changes in. (And really, the only no to revert isn't license based- it's ethics based. They control the backups. The files have zero to do with license.)
