You can use Play it slowly, which is rather bare-bones, or Sonic Visualizer, which is something of the opposite, but quite powerful.
My daily workhorse is Transcribe!, which I’ve been using for nearly 30 years, actually. Very powerful, and very intuitive, and with a lot of useful effects, such as filtering out the vocals (if possible), etc. I paid a one-time fee for a subscription back in the day. Money well spent.
All that - and then you end up using Gnome?!
Amen to everything you’re saying.
Wait - you’re still running e16?!
Yeah, that was a game changer, learning about the dbl binds. I picked it up again a few weeks back, and those have been some pretty unproductive weeks
I remember that one of the things that really blew me away was the virtual desktop pager which was a live miniature of the actual desktops.
Could you expand on that? What is exceptional about the feature set, and how does e use the desktop differently?
‘not speedy, but ongoing’ - That sounds like E, alright …
I was going to say Combat Rock as well
I didn’t think I would ever say this, but: arch isn’t always the answer. True: the last time the entire system broke on me was in 2006’ish, but I can’t count the times certain apps have stopped working or some python upgrade messes up things. Sure: that’s the price of rolling release and AUR, and I wouldn’t be without it, but it’s a thing one has to learn to live with, and a thing that makes ‘arch’ the wrong answer to this particular question.
Which functionality is that? I haven’t found anything that enters the selected item directly, without having to C-v it afterwards. Besides, the mouse is a thing I want to avoid… I played around with some other functions, however, and I found out that cycling through the history items works fairly well for me.
That’s more or less what I do, but it’s not quite killring’y. The workflow I’m looking for is: paste as usual with ctlr-v, then press some shortcut to replace the pasted with the previous item in the “ring”, without having to go through the backwards process of first enabling klipper, then choosing item, and only then entering it.
But I’ll play around with it some more and see what I figure out.
That’s exactly why I’m wary of Family Search. In principle, I love the “open source” character of it, but that also means that one is not in control of one’s own tree.
I agree that the source linking in familysearch is excellent. I’m a bit weary about using it as my main tree though: the lack of control, over the data and the architeture, the latter-day saints connection, and who knows when they will start charging? Etc. All the reasons why open source and open standards are always to be preferred. But I do admit to having a tree there … :)
Was Shrek only 17 yrs after Various Positions?!
