Quicktip for mac: turning capslock into control | Comments (0)

Posted in Snippets on 17th April 2007, 8:53 am by Stuart

I am hoping to get my hands on a happy hackers keyboard for mac in the not too distant future. In preparation I have modified caps lock to act as the control key as this is the position on the Happy hackers keyboard. This actually makes a lot of sense to me as I find using control in it’s default position is a bit awkward. To try this out all you need to do is open sys prefs. Go to keyboard and mouse. Select the keyboard tab. Hit “modifier keys” and then change the action for capslock to control. Try it you might like it.

Using Loggerhead with mod_wsgi|(0)

Here’s a post I wrote over on the Project Fondue Blog about our use of Loggerhead with mod_wsgi under Apache. Loggerhead is the rather nice branch viewer for bazaar branches as used on Launchpad.net.

If you’re not already subscribed to the Project Fondue blog feed then I can recommend it, as there should be some interesting posts coming out of there in the coming months (yes I’m unashamedly biased!).

Ubuntu: Turn off changing workspace with mouse wheel|(1)

I found the changing with the workspace with the mouse wheel really annoying. To disable it go to System => Preferences => CompizConfig (available if the compizconfig-settings-manager package is installed) and uncheck “Viewport Switcher” which is under the “Desktop” heading.
