Clipboard Help+Spell / Pasting text from hotkey
« Last post by bobgott on May 19, 2025, 12:58 PM »
I'm sure I'm missing something, but my goal is to assign a Custom Hotkey to standard text and paste that text into whatever app I'm in.

I created a Preset  user_name and loaded that preset file from the Presets menu.  When user_name is loaded, I do see Ctrl+Shift+U in the hotkey field along with the proper text in the text window below.

However, I cannot seem to paste that text when I enter the hotkeys into a window

I'm with you on that, no point paying for games that you'll never play (I've already got enough!)

General Software Discussion / Simple "technical" drawing tool
« Last post by Pareidol on May 18, 2025, 04:09 PM »
Hi there,
hope this is the right forum. I'm searching a simple drawing tool, maybe you can help.

Use-cases:
Sometimes I need to make a sketch e.g. If I want to put on some pictures on a wall, allign furniture in a room, do some woodwork, e.g.
I want to create the sketch on my windows machine, in real size on a infinite canvas.
Need simple geometric shapes, helping lines, and measuring arrows for print out.

Sometimes I use powerpoint for that (really good for doing stuff that is maybe up to a meter in real life), but not infinite canvas and no measuring tool or arrows
The tool sPlan is also quite good, but it's not for real size and you always have to scale it in your mind.
Also tried LibreCAD, but it's too complicated for non power users.

I've just come across a browser designed for research, that solves my biggest problems in some areas and will be using it forthwith.

It's relatively new, still immature, has limited features and some points of friction; and isn't cheap ($60 a year atm). No tabs. What it does have is "trails" showing all the websites and notes made in lines of research; these can be exported to markdown (and later reimported if wanted). The searched sites can be opened from the links in notes programs that understand markdown.

It's particularly useful for recording unsuccessful searches since they tend to be left out during normal note-taking and it's easy to find yourself going in circles over ground you have covered before (you=me). This browser solves that problem. It doesn't have many other features, but those it does have are very useful (dark reader, ad blocking, focus mode); it's very comfortable to work in.

I'd say that it's particularly suitable for research where you try multiple searches trying to answer one question (such as genealogy/shopping research etc) but mightn't be particularly advantageous if you are doing wide searches for many different things. It's also more effective if you are already using a notes program that understands markdown links.

I've written A review of my experience with Horse. Suffice it to say, that it didn't go according to plan.

I like Fanatical and I buy greatly discounted games from them often. I have even posted about the Fanatical "Mystery Bundles" in the past:

https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=52663.0

My opinion is that they're not worth it. It's better to know what you're buying rather than gamble in the hopes you'll get something that seems at least mildly interesting.

And looking back at those posts ranging from over a year ago in 2024 and even earlier in 2022, I'm realizing now that I've never played any of the games I kept from those mystery bundles.

this offering from Fanatical may be of interest to some here

https://www.howtogee...ust-and-you-can-too/

Note that this is a link to an article about the offer, not to the actual offer.  Pretty sure you can work it out from there  ;)

Previously I could see it here after login, against my name, see image attached. So never thought of it at any other place.

It looks like you have collapsed the header. Click this arrow by the search button to expand it.

Lo and Behold. So simple.
