            This code sets the cursor to the end position of the message field, and the inserts a 'signature'. With this you set whatever position you want.

            Programmatically read current text selected in console window
            Asked 2021-Apr-26 at 16:15

            I have built an app which receives text input from the user in a command prompt. And I would like to allow the user to select text and use that text instead of requiring the user to type it in.

            In linux/bash this is achieved by calling "xsel" (a bash utility) which outputs the currently selected text which I then pipe to my python script. In windows it seems there isn't a simple solution... Any idea how do I get currently selected command line text in python/batch/powershell/external utility in Windows?

            Thanks!

            Note: I'm assuming you're only interested in text selected in the current console window.

            There is no perfect solution on Windows that I'm aware of[1], but you can approximate one, which, however, requires the user's cooperation, in the form right-clicking after making a selection.

            The solution below works in both regular console windows (conhost.exe) and Windows Terminal:

            • In regular console windows, "Quick Edit" mode should be enabled, so as to allow direct selection of text with the mouse.

            • To make the solution work, the user must copy the selection to the clipboard, which later allows you to retrieve the clipboard's content if no direct input was supplied. This is easily achieve by right-clicking (anywhere inside the window) after making a selection, which the prompt message must instruct the user to do.

            Here's an example:

            Bash-script to toggle espeak by keyboard shortcut
            Asked 2020-Aug-24 at 18:27

            To read a selected text in GUI out loud I use the command xsel | espeak-ng -v mb-us3 -p3 -s135. To stop it I use killall -s STOP espeak-ng. To start it again killall -s CONT espeak-ng.

            All 3 commands work, but the noob I am won't let me archive correct results. The problem is in the if- and case-statement I think. I assigned them to a keyboard shortcut.

            I want to manage this shellscript to toggle between read aloud and stopping the process of reading aloud if espeak-ng is already running. If it's not already running the bash should start it.

            Also I have to admit that the end of line 10 looks awful. It has to be ...print $5}'` . Because of the difference between ps -ef and ps ax of course it has to be ...print $3}'` .

            By the way. The dependencies are xsel and espeak-ng and at least one mbrola-voice.

            Loop with If-statement runs slow, too slow
            Asked 2020-Apr-28 at 22:26

            I am new to JavaScript. I use it to write some scripts for Adobe Illustrator. In this script I take a selection of items, and sub-select them by some user definded values (xPointMin, xPointMax, etc.). The loop below is the main part of the function.

            My problem is that this loop is terribly slow. It takes several sec. to run a selection of 50 items.

            I already tried the following:

            1. run the loop without any if-condition inside. This is fast.
            2. run the loop with only one if-condition inside. This is as fast as with all if-conditions.

            Does someone know why it is so slow or can some just make it faster.

            Answered 2020-Apr-28 at 21:46

            If the loop is small, you won't see why it takes so long, but the conditionals won't make much sense, for example:

            if (xArrayPoint [i] <= xPointMin || xArrayPoint [i]> = xPointMax)

            This is clearly true, either one value is greater than another or it is less than or equal to another, there are only these 3 possibilities, its ifs are equivalent to if (true).

            Something that may make a difference (but I'm not sure about that in javascript) is to create variables inside a loop, maybe that will be expensive in terms of processing in having to allocate space in memory to save this data.

            Something that optimizes a lot in search of values ​​in variables for example is the binary search algorithm, which is something very simple. Say for example that you want to search for a certain value within an array, the idea of ​​the binary search is based on first placing these values ​​in ascending order and comparing the value you are comparing with the intermediate value of that array, if its value is for example higher than the intermediate value (smaller is the same idea) it will compare with the average value that is between the highest value of the array and the average value of the array, that is, it will divide the array in two until it finds the value sought.

            Vim and NeoVim support for clipboard use a connection to the X11 server. The address to connect is available from the $DISPLAY environment variable.

            The issue with X11 and terminal multiplexers or session managers such as tmux or screen is that the environment of the shells and programs running inside them will be the environment of when the tmux session was first created. That includes the $DISPLAY variable. So it means vim inside tmux will be trying to use the address of the X11 server of when the tmux session was created, not the one from where you just connected now.

            A dirty but simple workaround is to update the $DISPLAY variable when you reconnect to tmux, to ensure you'll be connecting to the correct X11 server. Note that you need to do that for every shell or program running inside tmux, since each of them will have its own out-of-sync copy of the environment variable.

            How can I copy the contents of a file directly into my Windows clipboard when I'm running the command on a remote Linux machine via ssh in Git Bash?
            Asked 2020-Feb-07 at 18:22

            I'm using Windows 10. I open Git Bash and then ssh into an Ubuntu server. Often I want to copy the whole contents of a large text file.

            Rather than using scp to download the file to my Windows machine, I sometimes would rather quickly copy the contents to my clipboard.

            Using cat and then scrolling thousands of lines and then manually copying to clipboard is possible but isn't practical.

            I'd rather pipe cat to a command that copies the output to my Windows clipboard. Or call some other command like xclip.

            https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/211817/copy-the-contents-of-a-file-into-the-clipboard-without-displaying-its-contents and How can I copy the output of a command directly into my clipboard? are similar questions, but xclip causes this error:

            You need and X server on your Windows host and X-tunnelling in your ssh connection. xclip will send the clipboard to your X server, and the server will provide it to Windows.

            1. Install an X server to your Windows machine. I use VcXsrv, there are XMing and others. The flavor of X is not important.
            2. Launch the server
            3. in Git Bash use command export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
            4. Make sure that /etc/ssh/sshd.config on the remote node has line X11Forwarding yes
            5. enable X11 tunneling in ssh command: add -Y flag to ssh: ssh -Y

            While there are some recipies on Stack Overflow already, there is one glitch. Note DISPLAY=localhost:0.0. If you omit localhost, that is export DISPLAY=:0.0, then xclip will fail on the remote node :

            connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:10.0
