Started to crash suddenly. git pull-ing didn’t help, but it and recreating the virtualenv using scripts/mkenv.py did.

vim foldignore with foldmethod tab

This makes empty newlines be part of the fold: ¹

" Ignore empty lines when using tabfold
:set foldignore=#<CR>

jq sorting

.. exists and works. ²

.one.two|=sort_by('.whatever')|.next.thing

maven version ranges

(Also used in input of some other internal tools) They are: ¹

Range	Meaning
1.0	x >= 1.0 * The default Maven meaning for 1.0 is everything (,) but with 1.0 recommended. Obviously this doesn't work for enforcing versions here, so it has been redefined as a minimum version.
(,1.0]	x <= 1.0
(,1.0)	x < 1.0
[1.0]	x == 1.0
[1.0,)	x >= 1.0
(1.0,)	x > 1.0
(1.0,2.0)	1.0 < x < 2.0
[1.0,2.0]	1.0 <= x <= 2.0
(,1.0],[1.2,)	x <= 1.0 or x >= 1.2. Multiple sets are comma-separated
(,1.1),(1.1,)	x != 1.1

Python ast literal_eval

literal_eval - ast - Python documentation - Kite

Safely evaluates Python expressions, nice to use for input.

may only consist of the following Python literal structures: strings, numbers, tuples, lists, dicts, booleans, and None.

jq colours

To pipe output with jq to for example less preserving the colours, use -C. (Simialar to --color=always etc.)

jq . $filename -C | less

Zsh prompt change based on dev/prod

The script that sets dev/prod sets a variable to 1 if using dev. Based on that variable I get (or not) a red (B) in my zsh prompt.

Did these changes to the theme clean2.zsh-theme:

PROMPT='%{$fg[green]%}(%*/%!)$ZSH_USING_DEV%{$fg[$NCOLOR]%}%B%b%{$reset_color%}%{$fg[blue]%}%B%5c/%b%{$reset_color%} $(git_prompt_info)%(!.#.$) '

ZSH_USING_DEV=""
if [ "$USING_DEV" = "1" ] 
	then
		ZSH_USING_DEV="%{$fg_bold[red]%}[B]%{$fg[$NCOLOR]%}"
	fi

and in ~/.zsrhc

alias uc='. ~/s/setenv.sh p'
alias ud='. ~/s/setenv.sh d'

zsh prompt export variables from a script

Using the usual ./ way doesn’t work!

Note the . ~/s.. in the script above. Running it as ~/what.sh will create a new shell, export the new values there, and close it. Starting with a . will make it run the script without starting a new shell. ¹

Confluence tabs + publishing

“Publish without notifying watchers” exits.

If I paste something from vim that has tabs in it in a Code block, in the Edit window it will look fine, but won’t at the end. Editing again will make it again look fine in the edit window. Moral: use spaces.

vim tabs

If you copypaste things from it to code blocks in jira/confluence it will start being weird. You can do expandtabs/retab to convert it to something that looks just like this with spaces when saved. Though feels suboptimal.

Multiple monitors / productivity idea

If I have a laptop and two external monitors, put the ‘distracting’ things on the laptop monitor and close the laptop. Open it when I’m officially doing a pause.

My aliases for grep and history

I shouldn’t forget that I have g aliased to grep, along with h to history | grep. Just tried this and it works:

h vim | g http

zsh expand all aliases; zsh keybindings; zsh show all files in directory

Added this ¹ to ./zshrc:

expand-aliases() {
  unset 'functions[_expand-aliases]'
  functions[_expand-aliases]=$BUFFER
  (($+functions[_expand-aliases])) &&
    BUFFER=${functions[_expand-aliases]#$'\t'} &&
    CURSOR=$#BUFFER
}

zle -N expand-aliases
bindkey '^E' expand-aliases

^E is <C-e>. Gets run anytime I use it, without connection to the written text. Neat.

Also found this in ./.zshrc:

# Usage:
#   In the middle of the command line:
#     (command being typed)<TAB>(resume typing)
#
#   At the beginning of the command line:
#     <SPACE><TAB>
#     <SPACE><SPACE><TAB>
#
# Notes:
#   This does not affect other completions
#   If you want 'cd ' or './' to be prepended, write in your .zshrc 'export TAB_LIST_FILES_PREFIX'
#   I recommend to complement this with push-line-or edit (bindkey '^q' push-line-or-edit)
function tab_list_files
{
  if [[ $#BUFFER == 0 ]]; then
    BUFFER="ls "
    CURSOR=3
    zle list-choices
    zle backward-kill-word
  elif [[ $BUFFER =~ ^[[:space:]][[:space:]].*$ ]]; then
    BUFFER="./"
    CURSOR=2
    zle list-choices
    [ -z ${TAB_LIST_FILES_PREFIX+x} ] && { BUFFER="  "; CURSOR=2; }
  elif [[ $BUFFER =~ ^[[:space:]]*$ ]]; then
    BUFFER="cd "
    CURSOR=3
    zle list-choices
    [ -z ${TAB_LIST_FILES_PREFIX+x} ] && { BUFFER=" "; CURSOR=1; }
  else
    BUFFER_=$BUFFER
    CURSOR_=$CURSOR
    zle expand-or-complete || zle expand-or-complete || {
      BUFFER="ls "
      CURSOR=3
      zle list-choices
      BUFFER=$BUFFER_
      CURSOR=$CURSOR_
    }
  fi
}

zle -N tab_list_files
bindkey '^I' tab_list_files

<C-i> gives a list of files in the directory, and space-space-tab at the beginning of the line too. <C-q> (push-line-or-edit). More about it here: TIL: save half-typed commands in bash and zsh « Serge Gebhardt (sgeb.io) TL;DR remove command currently being edited and paste it at the next Return.

Linux multiple cameras/webcams

Just found this hack: if the program you want to use doesn’t pick the right camera and you can’t control that through settings, open another program that will use the wrong camera - the first program will pick the first free camera, the one you want.
