I tried Windows ToGo on several on a few USB keys (including two high-speed ones), never managed to get something I could actually use that was not laggy AF, to the point it’s not usable (dozens of minutes to boot, lags of entire minutes and so on). Did I do something wrong?
OK, so I’m a heavy user of the native pipe in R which goes like this “|>”. This is particularly painful to type on French keyboard, so on Plasma X11, I had a little script using xdotools to input |> when I pressed Ctrl+$. Very comfortable!...
Yeah, I tried this way, but due to the issue with keyboard layout, ydotool does not output |>, but some gibberish instead. I couldn’t reverse-engineer how to make it output a proper |>.
Hm, I don’t think it works, because as far as I understand, wl-paste is outputting the content of clipboard into stdout, not actually “pasting” the content (or at least, I can’t make it paste something outside of stdout, maybe I’m being thick).
After exploring all solutions, and fighting a few things to build either Hawck or Espanso on openSUSE (I’m not a dev), I finally managed to find instructions to get Espanso to build (it’s all there, fellow desperate random reader of the future). Since you can define the keyboard layout AND the variant of said keyboard you are using with Espanso, it’s working as expected.
So now, I’ve associated “:$” with “|>”, not sure how well that’ll work in the future, but it’s far easier to type on my keyboard at least… Also, I gained a tool to insert greek symbols and smileys everywhere that I didn’t know I needed, but very quickly adopting! 😅
