Want to quickly copy and paste? Remapp CapsLock (via AutoHotKey) to ctrl+c (copy) along with the Esc key to ctrl+v, (paste) and NumLock to Esc (I do not play games), and the middle mouse key to ctrl+x (cut).Except these key combinations are available on linux, and I have linked him to instructionals several times. And since he is so hot on 3rd party apps here is a GUI mapping app for Linux. https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/12/remap-keyboard-and-mouse-buttons-on.html
I do not recall you ever linking to anything as above that was not complicated and guaranteed to work on any major distro, past sessions, which alone is essential for me with my stiff arthritic typo-fingers and frequent copy and paste operations.
And I was speaking from my frustrations with trying to find this ability, past sessions, from a few years ago, with "try this" suggestions that did not work. I appreciate that ShadowAce tried to help years ago, and suggested looking into setxkbmap.
Over the years past I think i found one suggestion that did work, at least on Fedora on a current session, but key remapping is only one issue. None are as easy as installing AutoHotKey to start with Windows and add 4 lines to a script.
But thanks for https://www.linuxuprising.com/2020/12/remap-keyboard-and-mouse-buttons-on.html. What does it mean when it says, "The application does not support binding commands or scripts to keyboard or mouse buttons" and thus directs to other input remap utilities
There is not one thing you cannot customize in Linux.
Sure, if you spend the time and energy to read enough documentation, search enough forums, ask questions that are not answered with censure for trying to make Linux like the loathed Windows (who would want to do that?!) Why not a utility that enables over 200 tweaks (as w/ Ultimate Windows Tweaker 5, etc.)? Security? Never had an issue with such tested free software as a single user and who seeks to keep an eye on things, by the grace of God.
But he judges from the stance of an extreme super power user and one of that 2% who has such an extreme fetish and addiction for baubles, bangles, and window dressing.
Actually, rather than mere "baubles and bangles," I am mainly referring to increased efficiency, which besides quickly doing what you want to do and getting where you want to go amidst multitudes of open folders and programs, includes compact menus to which one can add items to,
I do not know why both Windows and Linux distros even think spaced out application menus should be default.
vs.
And as said, my posts are partly a reaction to Windows being denigrated by Linux promoters, exalting the latter, with its multitudinous versions, when very few Windows users know of - or care to - customization of Windows. Which includes changing some "improvement" MS autocratically foists upon users, or default behavior, but few actually search for solutions. I have a folder with safe registry scripts as a result.
While most just want a nice car to drive, daniel1212 personally wants a rocket ship and thinks everyone else should have a rocket ship too.
Wrong analogy. daniel1212 personally wants an equipped utility truck, with quick easy access to tools, and thinks everyone can have one too if they are already have the hardware with windows.
Yet as said, if MS continues to go in the restrictive trajectory post 36 indicates, then, if adopting Linux and customizing it may warrant the time and energy to do it, if I have this in my 70's.
Meanwhile, my old, but quite capable PC, is used daily by brother Jeff, running Mint, but just Internet and email.
Thank God for all, and for your help.
