杂记 | Misc Notes

1.gnome-shell 默认按一下winkey会出main menu, 这问题不大,但是其他我设的winkey+..的快捷键很多不能用了。比如f和空格都不行,但是t可以,很诡异。 解决办法是
system settings -> region and language -> layouts -> options -> alt/win key behaior -> meta is mapped to win keys

2.python的urllib记得是直接直接支持https的,但是不能验证证书(据说以后会实现的)。于是我找到了m2cypto这个模块,里面包装了urllib,证书有问题时会抛异常,但是证书没问题时会卡死。。。后来想了想,还是调用wget比较靠谱

3.gnome 3的控制面板里找不到startup applications了,但是可以直接运行gnome-session-properties

4.maximus:一个小软件,可以去掉最大化窗口的标题栏,配合gnome shell很不错。

5./usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dateMenu.js还有panel.js可以对gnome shell顶部条进行hack,比如我把Activities改了名,自定义了时钟格式,去掉了accessibility图标。



1. By deault press the winkey once in gnome-shell will call up the main menu, this is not a big problem, but some shortcuts 'winkey + somekey' I set are not functional. For example 'f' and 'space' do not work, however 't' works, weird. To solve it:
system settings -> region and language -> layouts -> options -> alt/win key behaior -> meta is mapped to win keys

2. The urllib in python support https links, but it does not validate the certificates (some say that this will be implemented in the future). So I found the m2cypto module, it wraps urllib, and an exception will be thrown when there is problem with the certificate, however it sometimes went stuck when nothing wrong... Later I realized that it would be good just to call 'wget'

3. I cannot find 'Startup Application' in the gnome control center, but I can still run gnome-session-properties

4. maximus: a small tool that eliminate the title bar of maximized windows, looks quite good with gnome-shell.

5. Through the files /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dateMenu.js & panel.js we can hack the top bar of gnome shell, for example I renamed 'Activities', customized the datetime format, and removed the accessibility icon.
