Tools that Isotopp installed on his Mac…

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/04/01

IRC so: »i> Isotopp: Ich habe jetzt nen Mac als Arbeitsplatzrechner… Was will man als UNIX Hacker zuerst an Tools installieren?«

Source: IRC so: »i> Isotopp: Ich habe jetzt nen Mac als Arbeitsplatzrechner… Was will… by Kristian Köhntopp.

Since G+ is very bad at searching, I created this summary of the tools; read the full G+ post (Google Translate is quite OK), including comments on why.

Edit: 20160402 – I’m posting regular updates based on the comments for that G+ post. I’ve changed or added German iTunes store links to US-English ones.

Fix for Visual Studio – Resharper Alt Enter not working – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/02/10

Thanks User Josh Close – Stack Overflow. for answering the below on Stack Overflow: it got my Resharper Alt-Enter key workign again.

Re-apply Visual Studio keyboard scheme:

  • (VS2013 latest ReSharper)
    • ReSharper > Options > Environment > Keyboard & Menus > ReSharper Platform keyboard scheme: Visual Studio > Apply Scheme > Save.
    • This will reset the shortcut keys for ReSharper.
  • (older versions)
    • ReSharper > Options > Environment > General > Visual Studio Integration > Apply

Some links and references to IBM CUA: Common User Access which defines a lot of the UIs and UX we still use.

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/02/04

Back in the late 80s and early 90s of last century, engineers Richard E. Berry, Cliff J. Reeves set a standard that still influences the user interfaces and user experience of today: the IBM Common User Access.

I mentioned CUA a few times before, but since an old client of mine managed to throw away their paper originals in a “we don’t need that old stuff any more as we are now all digital” frenzy, I wanted to locate some PDFs. And I promised to write more about CUA.

If anyone has printed versions of the non-PDF documents below, please donate them to aek at bitsavers.org or scanning at archive.org as they are really hard to get.

A few search queries I used:

The PDFs I think are most interesting:

Mac OS X: integrating Beyond Compare 4 into SourceTree 2.x

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/28

Unlike SourceTree for Windows, SourceTree for Mac still doesn’t automagically detect Beyond Compare even though that has been available for Mac OS X since :  [SRCTREE-2092] Add built-in support for Beyond Compare version 4 – Atlassian JIRA.

Even modifying my ~/.gitconfig didn’t work, but manual configuration did. Here are the steps:

  1. Start the UI version of Beyond Compare
  2. Select the Beyond Compare menu, install the command-line tools

Reminder to self: SKU numbers for the ThinkPad UltraNav USB keyboards with horizontal Enter key and 6 rows of keys

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/12/14

IBM/Lenovo stopped producing ThinkPad UltraNav keyboards with 7 rows of keys a while ago. It stopped me from buying ThinkPad machines (together with the screen issues), but I still use the external USB UltraNav keyboards which are harder and harder to get.

So here some SKU/FRU/PN/EAN that seem to have a horizontal enter key and US layout.

OS/X – How to print screen in Remote Desktop Client (RDS) on Mac OS X? – Super User

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/11/16

The only reliable way to create a remote print-screen is by using the Windows On-Screen Keyboard. It even works with Alt-Prt+Sc to make screenshots of individual Windows.

Just run OSK to start the On-Screen Keyboard.

ICA client keyboard shortcuts

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/09/07

Too bad the Citrix Receiver remaps the keyboard shortcuts in a way that keyboards without a numeric keypad is a pain.

First of all, it was a bit tough to find the shortcuts, and I have not found a way to modify them.

Here is what I did find:

YouTube: Some windows shortcut key hints (by Alister Christie)

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/06/29

I wrote quite a few entries about Keyboards and Keyboard Shortcuts.

But Alister Christie did something much better: he published a great video on YouTube: Some windows shortcut key hints.

Most of the examples he shows work in Windows 7 and up.
