Q: New notebook fixed size

Using Ctrl+n we are effectively doing FrontEndTokenExecute["New"] and, at least on Windows, new window has WindowSize equal to current Input/Selected Notebook's WindowSize. Can Ctrl+n produce a notebook with fixed/predefined size? Is there any option for that? This method works for things lik...

@JacobAkkerboom hmm, and what about Community?

@Kuba Yeah I was wondering about that too.

@Karsten7. , ok so let's go all the way. Here they are sorted by total frequency

Here is the key to a nice download experience:

First@AbsoluteTiming[
  symbolUsageData =
   EntityValue[wlSymbs, {"Name", "Ranks", "Frequencies"}]]
 (*32.4398*)

A: Wolfram Language symbols by their Ranks

This gives 5 symbols with the highest rank in "All": In[1]:= EntityValue["WolframLanguageSymbol", "Ranks", "EntityAssociation"] // Query[TakeSmallest[5] /* Keys, "All"] Out[1]= {Entity["WolframLanguageSymbol", "List"], Entity["WolframLanguageSymbol", "Rule"], Entity["WolframLanguageSymbo...

I just found it funny how highly ranked $Failed is.

why this question wasn't closed already? mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/99188/5478

@Karsten7. Ah yeah that is peculiar. It is caused by its frequency in the WolframAlpha codebase, which seems to have the most weight in "All". Thanks for pointing me to the Q&A!

Why the last newline isn't encoded?

Style[
 ExportString["\n\t\n", "Base64"],
 ShowStringCharacters -> True
 ]

> "CgkK\n"

@Kuba There is something bugish going on. It's not the \n of the string. Try for example Style[ExportString["t", "Base64"], ShowStringCharacters -> True]. It's related to ShowStringCharacters -> True.

@Karsten7. You are partially right, ExportString["t", "Base64"] gives a new line too, when you inspect the content so Show is not involved

@Karsten7. Style*

I've ShowStringCharacters set to True in my stylesheet, therefore I also get \!$\*"\"\<dA==\\n\>\""$ (displayed as "dA==\n") as the output of Style[ExportString["t", "Base64"]].

@Karsten7. it seems it always gives "\n" at the end, should I expect that?

I don't think that one should expect that, but the outputs in the documentation also have an extra empty line. reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/format/Base64.html

@Karsten7. indeed -.-

@Karsten7. and it seems it doesn't matter for Import back if we have this newline or not.

@Kuba `Style[ExportString["\n\t\n", "Base64"] // StringDrop[#, -1] &,
ShowStringCharacters -> True]` is the obvious workaround.

@Karsten7. I proceed with StringReplace[#, "\n"->""]& in case WRI fix this in future release and StringDrop drops something important

@Karsten7. thanks for help :)
