Unicode: Keyboard Symbols ⌘ ↵ ⌫

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/11

I wish I had bumped into this page a way sooner as it contains most if not all the keyboard symbols I ever looked for: [Wayback/Archive] Unicode: Keyboard Symbols ⌘ ↵ ⌫

The page contains a lot more than just this diagram (which already is a great start):

⎋
 ` 1 2 3 4 5   6 7 8 9 0  - = ⌫    ⎀ ⤒ ⇞
 ⇥ Q W E R T   Y U I O P  [ ] \    ⌦ ⤓ ⇟

 ⇧   Z X C V B   N M , . /  ⇧        ↑
 ⎈ ❖ ⎇    ␣    ⎇ ❖ ▤ ⎈           ← ↓ →

🌐 ⌃ ⌥ ⌘

Some more symbols are at these pages:

CAPTCHA by Basic Apple Guy on X: “Find the Mac Pro (5th anniversary edition) 🔍 1949 cheese graters, 1 of them is a Mac Pro”

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/11

Next level CAPTCHA which AI engines fail at [Wayback/Archive] Basic Apple Guy on X: “Find the Mac Pro (5th anniversary edition) 🔍 1949 cheese graters, 1 of them is a Mac Pro”

The low res versions are impossible for me, and even the high-res picture is tough.

What is the smallest size you can find the Mac Pro? Picture on the right for reference.

Twitter picture sizes (I will explain them in a future blog post) via [Wayback/Archive] Tweet  JSON:

How To Scale and Crop Images with CSS object-fit | DigitalOcean

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/12/11

[Wayback/Archive] How To Scale and Crop Images with CSS object-fit | DigitalOcean helped me to crop the picture in Florian Haas on Twitter: alias kubectl=”TZ=Etc/UTC kubectl”; You’re welcome.

The picture itself is 800 * 800 pixels (width * height), but the interesting bits are 400 * 200 around the center. Also it is a lot larger than I wanted.

So I embedded it using this HTML

<img class="alignnone size-full" style="width: 200px; height: 100px; object-fit: cover; object-position: 0 50%;" src="https://archive.ph/frSNu/0f0ebeeb5a4edf048577be89adb866344b303394.jpg" alt="" />

The width made it 25% the original size (because of [Wayback/Archive] object-fit value cover), and half the height so I had to move the [Wayback/Archive]object-position up 50%.

I found this via [Wayback/Archive] image inline css to crop top and bottom – Google Search.

That also found [Wayback/Archive] html – while display image crop Top and Bottom of image using css – Stack Overflow with an example at [Wayback/Archive] Edit fiddle – JSFiddle – Code Playground which is similar to the above solution.
