Google Now Launcher for KitKat (Android 4.4) via: Android – Google+
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/28
I just installed the Google Now Launcher on my Nexus 4 that runs KitKat (Android 4.4) from the AppStore.
Looks nice, though I could not get “Call Brother” configured (it thinks there are 3 entries for him, and selecting any of them does not make a selection).
But being able to start voice stuff with one click less is convenient.
Now hopefully the battery duration won’t be affected by another piece of software.

Making SwiftKey my Default Keyboard (via: Android Forums)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/15
Every time I reboot my Nexus 4, the Google keyboard is selected as default. But SwitftKey is way more productive for me.
This is how to make SwiftKey the default keyboard again:
Selected SwiftKey then hit the Gear to go into SwiftKey setting. When I did this a pop up window came up asking witch keyboard to use a default. I selected SwiftKey and after several reboots it is still default.

If you miss having the Caps Lock button on your #Chromebook… (via: Google Chrome – Google+)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/13
This reminds me about mapping the CapsLock to Windows-key on old Lenovo keyboard (you can do that [Wayback/Archive] with ReMapKey from Microsoft, the [Wayback/Archive] slightly more convoluted open source SharpKeys, or a AutoHotKey script), and a [Wayback] Mac equivalent:
MacOS:
I like to have a second Control key instead of Caps Lock.
In OS X, go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard -> Modifier Keys… and change or turn off Caps Lock, Control, Option and Command.
For more radical key remapping in OS X, use KeyRemap4MacBook. Despite the name, it works on non-Macbook machines, too.
…
ChromeBook:
If you miss having the Caps Lock button on your #Chromebook, you can turn the Search button into a Caps Lock button in a couple steps: find “Keyboard Settings” under the “Settings” menu, and select “Caps Lock” under the “Search” drop-down menu.
Or you can use this quick link on your Chromebook: chrome://settings/keyboard-overlay
Chromebook has [Wayback/Archive] quite some different keys than a Windows keyboard.
Ben Ostrowsky has a nice post with an SVG drawing of the [Wayback/Archive] Chromebook keyboard layout.

Chrome does not pick up on time zone changes until the browser is restarted. (via: pellepim / jsTimezoneDetect / issues / #57 – Wrong time zone using Chrome on Mac — Bitbucket)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/11
Just got bitten by Wrong time zone using Chrome on Mac:
Chrome does not pick up on time zone changes until a new tab is opened or the browser restarted.
Actually, it requires a browser restart, as below is the difference between a new Chrome tab and running on jsc on the console: Read the rest of this entry »
