Hi all, i'd like to add some options to vim (the :term posibbility), and i've gathered that i'd have to recompile vim. Is there a recommended way of doing that without messing up the packagemanagement? Using Debian stable.

Nice article also. I'm defenitely bookmarking that.

@Rich I think for my use case your last suggestion works best. I wasn't familiar with "&&". That's why i like vim, no matter how long you're using it, vim can make you feel like a newbie any day of the week.

@Rich You mentioned there are many different mechanisms to do the sort of editing i want. Could you give an example? For example, if i'd want to do a substitute on 2 different sections (line x-y and visual block z), how would i go about it in vanilla vim - if it's possible?

@Rich Thank you for your suggestion. I've tried the plugin, and with a workaround i can get it to do what i want.

Hi all, is it possible to have multpile visual selections, and perform a command on all of them?

@luk3yx I know, i'd like to add which distro's or version's zsh support which settings (if that makes any sense).

@luk3yx, oops, meant VM.

@luk3yx, thanks, i'll be trying that in a WM.

@luk3yx, could you give me a zsh version? Also, what did you use to open different terminals?

@luk3yx, what distro are you running?

I've only tested Debian stable and Arch.

The way I tested it: Open a few screens (screen/dvtm/tmux) 'echo "testting screen 1" ' at every open session. Every teststring should be visible at every other session.

@luk3yx Yes, if you don't have it allready, pls add the inc_append_history and share_history.

Hi all, i was looking at my answer to a question, but i'm getting a different result than people who've tested it. It involves altering 1 line in .zshrc. I think there might be differences per distro. Could anyone help me test? askubuntu.com/a/23631/9656

Any insights to this are more than welcome.

@RPiAwesomeness, it would be more of a general question, something like "How would it be possible to install Unity in a non Ubuntu Linux environment". I know this question would be better placed in another stackexchange, but before I do that, I'd like to know if there're easy answers I've missed.

@jrg The Desktop environment :)

Hi all, there, I'd like to explore how cross-platform Unity is. I found an old bug report from 3 years ago without resolution. Would it be wise to open a question about that here (without starting a flame-war) ?

I forgot how addictive SE is :)

Thanks for the info!

Additionally, the guideline state that the link should be provided for reference.

In the style guidelines, it says that if the answer to a question is behind a link, the answer should be a summarize of the steps to be taken. Now, purely hypothetical, if this (askubuntu.com/a/516313/9656) would be the correct answer, should the content of the provided link just be copied? It's quite a few steps. Is there a limit to how long the summary should be?

@IonicăBizău Sorry, don't know about that, haven't used Audacity in quite a while. Maybe there is a plugin?

@IonicăBizău Do you know how "limiting" works (in sound engineering)? You could look into a program that has that function. Don't know if Audacity has that.

@Rinzwind exactly why our ruby environment gets dockerized. Sloppy way to solve sloppy code, but it does save time.

To be fired for such a mistake seems quite harsh. Tough employer.

I read it, and totally missed it also!

That's one costly ;

Wrongly placed periods... sigh Feels like my debugging days all over again :)

@Rinzwind Thanks, the preview pane threw me off.

@Rinzwind

I've been going through old answers to improve upon, and I think I screwed up just a littble bit. In trying to add package links in the right way, the preview pane shows the correct link and picture, but when I submit, the package links break. Could someone take a look and tell me what I did wrong? askubuntu.com/questions/20989/…

@Takkat Done. I've been looking for guidelines on how to handle edits. Things like adding "[EDIT]" vs not doing that, how/where to put that, and when to delete comments. Would it be a good question to ask in meta or is that allready somewhere documented? If it is, i couldn't find it.

@Takkat Thanks for the info. Updated my answer. I'll get better at this... i promise :)

@Takkat I haven't used it like that before. I'd like to include the corerct information in my edit. Is wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Getting-Flash still the correct way?

I'm trying to "get back into"stackexchange so to say, but i'm still quite rusty. Could someone give me some feedback on my answer and edit? I'd hate to be downvoted into oblivion for basic things like this.

@muru No, it's not an accepted answer, and I don't expect it to be accepted.

I was looking in meta to find more information on edits done to answers, but couldn't find it. Do you perhaps know where I can find info on edits in meta?

@hbdgaf That's exactly what's happening. It's done by adding "[EDIT]" right?

Hi all, i'd like to edit a recent answer I gave. Should I include in the body of the answer that I edited it?

I'm a bit puzzled by this (askubuntu.com/questions/195576/…) question. Am I correct in assuming the OP asks for a low-resource WM/DE ?

@bmike, thanks! I'm mostly familiar with Debian and Arch. Is there a list of differences somewhere on the mighty internet between *BSD and OSX? (yes I googled :).

Hi all, as an ask-different and apple newbie I was wondering if there is a comprehensive list of differences of the OS-X shell compared to a general linux shell environment. Like how you should manage services, hardware and such in os-x. Is there a how-to administer os-x for linux users somewhere that didn't come up in my search results?

Sad to see special tech meetups are neccesary for women to feel accepted.

@JennyD, did you try telling him that?

Ok, thanks for elaborating.

Hi all, i was just looking at questions, and wondering why a couple of questions are downvoted without a comment as to why it was downvoted. I'm looking at contributing again. Why was a question like this (serverfault.com/questions/623742/…) a bad question

@Dan Well... that's encouraging ;)
