This is not a programming question per se, but this is certainly about something which would help increasing my programming productivity.
In KDE, one can assign short-cuts to particular windows. This eliminates alt-tabbing completely and, is very very convenient when multiple apps(browser, console, emacs etc) are open.
My question is - can window short cuts be assigned in XFCE4 ? And if yes, how ? I very recently switched to XFCE from KDE4 and would appreciate any help regarding this.
TIA.
I'm using xdotool.
For example command below moves Firefox to foreground:
xdotool search --onlyvisible --name 'Mozilla Firefox' windowraise
You can update your keyboard settings with needed parameters (Applications Menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard):

iTerm for the mac has an awesome feature which allows you to ctrl-click on a filename in the terminal. (i.e. from an ls or find etc), and the terminal will attempt to launch that file using the default application for the given file's type.
I'm familiar with various ways of opening a file from cygwin using a command, but am more interested if anyone knows of a method to mouse click to open a file.
Was wondering if anyone has seen/used such a feature in cygwin/putty?
This is implemented in the Mintty terminal along with a lot of other nice features so use that instead of the default cygwin one, you should already have it, if you don't download it from here.

For example, Impulse Tracker for DOS was a nice music production app that was among the first to create a smooth mouse using glyphs generated on the fly in the characters located near the current position of the mouse. (Read here for a better description of what I mean).
So, I'm just wondering if that can be done in Linux terminals (e.g. the tty1-6 terminals or Gnome Terminal). Is it possible?
(EDIT: Should I post this on unix.stackexchange.com instead?)
Seeing as the terminal itself (and not the application) usually sets the font being used, I don't think this is possible. For the tty1-6 terminals, you could use a framebuffer to accomplish this, if you were that dedicated to the idea. With a terminal emulator on a desktop environment, I do not believe this is possible.
Would GPM accomplish what you're looking for, with a lot less hassle?

I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my Macbook Pro. When I click the trackpad, it is always registered as a small mouse movement as well as a click, so it drags whatever I click on. has anybody else encountered this? Is there any synaptics setting that can help? For the moment, I've enabled tap to click because normal clicking is so tough.
I didn't have this issue when running Ubuntu in a VM, but I guess that has another abstraction layer that prevents synaptics from being the one interpreting direct touchpad input.
Thanks!

If you look at http://bambuser.com/v/2846316 you can see a developer with two monitors, in the video this person is spliting the screens into multiple outputs of an editor. And switching the content of them... Does anyone know how to do something like this ? Or the editor he/she is using ? I think the distro is Archlinux and the website on the movie is http://japh.se
EDIT: Ahhhhh found it. Depends on the type of the Windows Managers ! :D I was looking for Tiling windows managers :D
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Window_manager
Could anyone recommend me one ? Thank you
Looks like awesome to me, which is very nice for that and is my windows manager on arch linux. You can also have a look at xmonad which is quite equivalent but older.
For the editor its not clear for me since I dont see him use it so I cant distinguish between vim and emacs.

I just installed virtualbox, when i press HOST + F I see the window fullscreen but the OS still small. It seems doesnt not follow the fullscreen directive.
Someone coul dhelp me?
Thank you

I think you have to set up guest OS's screen resolution to match your screen. Ie if the guest is Windows the right-click on desktop and select "Properties -> Settings" and select appropriate screen res using slider.
