Just wondering since I know a lot of people quietly use a screen-area-select -> tesseract OCR -> clipboard shortcut.

  • I separate subjects of interest into different Firefox windows, in different workspaces – so I have an extension title them and a startup script parse text to ask the compositor to put them in the correct workspace (lets me restart more conveniently).
  • I have automatically-set different-orientation wallpapers for using my 2-in-1 depending on whether I use it in portrait or landscape (kind of just for looks, but I don’t think if anyone else adds a wallpaper change to their screen rotation keybind).

    I use compose key sequences to save time writing out long email addresses. For example, I have something like this in my ~/.XCompose:

    <Multi_key> <b> <o> <s> <at>: "[email protected]" # Email of my very angry boss

    So I can just type Compose (right alt on my system), bos@ and get his email address. Less error prone than typing out emails manually.

    I’m probably not the only one to use compose strings as a replacement to a text expander, but I don’t know anyone else who does this.
