Same - Evolution offers one thing Firebird dosen't - connecting to the work cloud Microsoft account!

We have had the opposite problem in the past. A cert provider requiring us to exist in certain international directories of companies took weeks of waiting around on bureaucratic red tape.

Then they didn't even call us to verify our existance, place of business or anything (yeah, this was one of the big certificate providers a long time ago).

Their website was horrible, and their support wasn't better.

LetsEncrypt though hasn't failed me once since it was setup, and that is over hundreds of domains with thousands of renewals.

Not exactly that layout, but I can strongly recommend MessagEase. Also optimized for phone use.

Last 25 years I have been using a couple of different tiling window managers. My main workstations usually have four monitors, accessed by AltGr+number.

I heavily base my workflow on virtual desktops, accessed by Ctrl+number.

Each virtual desktop have a specific type of programs on it:

  1. Development
  2. Terminals
  3. Browsers
  4. Communication / documentation
  5. Multimedia
  6. Graphics
  7. SQL
  8. Debugging
  9. Email
  10. Virtual machines / monitoring

So with this I can access nearly every program with AltGr+number, Ctrl+number which is quite quick. As long as I remember the monitor I placed it on, I always know which virtual desktop.

I use chained keyboard shortcuts for window manager shortcuts, here: https://files.ahall.se/images/i3-keybindings.svg (old one, this has grown a bit...)

The chaining allows me to easier remember shortcuts with mnemonics, and they are fast enough, especially considering the amount of shortcuts I can scale it to.

  • Alt+T to start the chain, L for Layout, R for Resize.
  • Alt+T, R for Run, I for Inkscape.
  • Alt+T, A for Audio, N for Next.

There are some exceptions for the most used focus- and window moving operations, as well as for managing a clipboard buffer system. There are too many times when one goes back and forth to copy something, paste it somewhere else and going back for the previous one. So I can copy something, press Ctrl+Shift+3 to put in buffer 3. After a few other copy/pastes, I bring it into clipboard again with Ctrl+Alt+3. This also allows me to for example reload a page I'm working on and login with user/pass easily accessible in buffer 1 and 2, or login to four different network devices again and again without going to a text file and copying one of four passwords each and every time.

I wrote a special session manager via socket for i3 to be able to press Ctrl+number and go to a certain predefined desktop on the current monitor I'm at.

I'm still using a Kinesis Contoured daily with PS/2 connection. Pretty impressed a new motherboard still came with a combo mouse/keyboard PS/2 port.

I have been using key shortcut chaining in my WMs for freeing up more application hotkeys and also make them easier to remember. And it it still quite fast.

Starts them off by Ctrl+T, then for example: A (Audio) - [P, Pause; N; Next; V, Volume] R (Run) - [B, Browser; I, Inkscape; S, Spotify; Q, SQL editor]

And a lot more. The mnemonics helps me remember them, and Ctrl+T, R, B is quick enough to launch a browser.

Nyårslöften kommer jag inte ge mig på, men 2024 ska en snickarbänk bli designad och byggd till den lilla verkstaden på tomten som blev renoverad med nytt tak och delvis väggar 2023. Ett steg i taget :)

Javascript/Preact/Lesscss on frontend with a backend written i Go, using Postgres for data needs. Sometimes with websockets in between if needed.

My collegues wouldn't appreciate my shell config in the root account, especially the vi bindings ;)

Only if it doesn't need to be run in electron and can be embedded in a webpage, running with a git repo local to the kraken installation.
