  • I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
  • Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.
  • Got that spinning type of mop and mopping has become a bit easier.

Amazing how many folk don't automatically press ctrl/s as a matter of habit in Office

[โ€“] black0ut@pawb.social 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If your PC is in another language, that shortcut gets changed. For example, in spanish it's Ctrl+G (G from Guardar, I assume). It may seem intuitive, but not every app follows this change. It's also way more difficult to hit with one hand, as the G is further from Ctrl than the S. Localized shortcuts are a thing I never understood about Windows, and I hated it while I used it.

After that I swithed to Linux, and I've been using NeoVim for a few years now. Instead of Ctrl+S I now compulsively [esc]:w[return], which, now that I think of it, may be even worse.

The Vim habit is hard to break.

Had to break myself of this habit as I often edit a files that need to stay the same and then saved as a different name. I know I could just save it as a different name at the start but whatever, right?

[โ€“] candybrie@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would definitely save it under a new name at the start because I'd totally accidentally save it without renaming at some point if I didn't.

I just make a copy of the file, rename it and then open it.
