Just discovered Vysor now has mouse shortcuts too – via: Cool: Vysor screen sharing by Koush

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/02/19

Just updated Cool: Vysor screen sharing by Koush with this:

Edit 20160217: new keyboard/mouse shortcuts

  • Old: keyboard shortcuts
    • Escape -> Back Button;
    • F1 -> Menu Button;
    • Home -> Home Button;
  • New: mouse shortcuts
    • Middle Click -> Home;
    • Right Click -> Back

"Escape

Now hopefully the screen resolution thing will be fixed: [Wayback/Archive] github.com/koush/vysor.io/issues/68

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.

Keyboards, logo keys CUA and a some more history…

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/04/06

My response to the comments in Cut and Paste Files & Folders in Mac OS X got a bit took long. So here is it in an article:

Indeed. CUA. The days (:
I’ll write more about CUA in the future (there is some CUA site:wiert.me stuff from the past) as it defines a lot of modern UI and user experience.

In fact the history of Ctrl-C and Command-C goes back until before System 1 (the OS for the first Macintosh) which indeed had the Open Apple Key shortcuts, but didn’t introduce them.

The Command Key was introduced in the Apple III and became more popular in the Apple //e and //c (I own both) where AppleWorks was already using these shortcuts in 1986.

It is funny to notice that Apple keyboards lost their logo keys but Windows keyboards gained them.

Some Apple keyboard pr0n can be found on Wikipedia.
