Always discovering new things in Linux

[bikeboy]

This morning I accidently discovered that you can drag windows/programs to different virtual desktops using the pager on the bottom right. That's the first time I've realised this in over a year of full time Linux use and I just thought it was rather cool to find a handy new (to me) feature.

Anybody else recently discovered some nice little feature they never new about? Care to share it with the rest of us please?

This evening I learnt my main backup server had fallen over - hard disk problem
Loose cable was the culprit - so it is up and running again now

I recently found out that you can move a window (in addition to the normal way of click-dragging on the title bar) by ALT-click-dragging anywhere on the window.

I assume this is for Gnome only.

I recently switched from Gnome to Xfce (Xubuntu) lots to learn ...

Hey that's a good one, thanks.

that's pretty neat, didn't know that one either. Although I doubt I'll really use it much. It's such a tiny target to click the little windows like that.

Dragging to different faces on the rotating cube in Beryl is easier to me. Now, if I could just get Beryl working again, hehe.

Nay, also works in KDE, and Windows, and probably plenty of other things.

Almost every window manager in GNU/Linux does this (I know that KDE, Gnome, XFCE and IceWM do for sure.) It's a feature I really miss in Windows.

i got a few:
- got hdaps working on kubuntu,( that would be the accelerometer build into some of the ibm thinkpads).

- therefore got a knock script working

- just figure out way to access my laptop state via /proc. and suprisingly able to access my laptop temperature from it(yet some superkaramba widget don't know my laptop temperature.)

While searching for something completely different, I discovered the existence of "robotfindskitten" in the repositories. BEST GAME EVER!
