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!

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.

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

Tip #518

Move the active tab to a different Workspace using Command Chains.

You can find Keyboard Shortcuts for numerous actions in your Vivaldi browser and with Command Chains you can make many more. For example, you can create a chain for moving the active tab to a different Workspace and bind it to a Keyboard Shortcut and Mouse Gesture of your choice. You can also type the chain’s name in Quick Commands and even add a custom button on one of the toolbars to execute the chain on click.

To create a command chain for moving the active tab to a different workspace:

  1. Go to Settings > Quick Commands > Command Chains.
  2. Click on “Add Command Chain”.
  3. Give the new chain a name.
  4. Enter the following commands.
    Use the “Add Command” button in the top right corner of the first command to add the next one.
    • Focus Address Field
    • Delay (100)
    • Copy
    • Delay (1000)
    • Close Tab
    • Switch to Workspace #
    • New Tab
    • Delay (100)
    • Paste and Go
  5. Go to Settings > Keyboard > Workspaces and/or Settings > Mouse > New Gesture and find the chain you created.
  6. Give the new chain a shortcut.
  7. Go to a page you want to move and use the shortcut to test your new Command Chain.
  8. Create the chain for each Workspace you have.

Tip #504

Hover over the Workspaces menu and scroll to switch Workspaces.

If you have “Switch Tabs By Scrolling” enabled in Settings (see Tip #184), you can switch tabs by using the scroll wheel on your mouse. But did you know, that you can also switch Workspaces like that?

To switch Workspaces:

  1. Hover the mouse cursor over the Workspaces menu on the Tab Bar (or wherever you’ve moved it to).
  2. Use the scroll wheel to move to the next or previous Workspace.

Tip #488

Create a new Workspace from a selection of tabs.

Have you cumulated a set of tabs that you would now like to move to a new workspace? Instead of first creating a new workspace and then moving the tabs, you can also create a new space while you moving tabs.

To create a new workspace from open tabs:

  1. Select the tabs you want to put in the workspace.
  2. Right-click on one of the selected tabs to open the context menu.
  3. Select Move # Tabs > Workspace > Create Workspace with Selected Tabs.
  4. Give the new workspace a name and select an icon for it.
  5. Click “Create”.

@Rush If by rewrite you possibly allude to the apparent decision to remove #Workspaces [bwaaaaaah] in a few months, then... fyi:

[oh, also, everything i write about #Floorp refers to the full, aka Stable, version, not the very short-lived & IMO bizarrely ill-advised Lightning version]

I have two profiles [well actually more, but only two are relevant here]:

They both work really well, but i heavily favour the latter, even though it's sad to not use Floorp's native WS, coz IMO once anyone has tasted Sidebery it's impossible to ever walk away from it. The bonus of this schema is that once Floorp's WS officially disappear, it won't damage my workflow given the choice already made, as above.

TLDR; IMO you can't do any harm by already giving Floorp another go now, rather than indefinitely waiting.

@dale They should reach out to the under-resourced Dev of Floorp, & either make them an offer too good to refuse 😜​, or else fork their fork [of FF] back into the parent product. :floorp:​ provides several of the must-have functions so badly missing in #Firefox, including but not only:
