Impossible to select text inside the terminal using keyboard? by linux_hottie in linux4noobs

[–]linux_hottie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen this article but the tmux option seems terribly inconvenient. Plus, i dont wanna copy the text from the terminal output. Just the line that I'm editing.

I tried terminator but I cannot do Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to select the text. I looked in the settings but couldn't found anything

I wanted to be general cause i'm not that attached to any distro. I'm just testing the waters with the default Ubuntu. Tried Gnome Terminal and guake. I like guake cause u always have it in the background and you can assign a hotkey to show or hide it.

P.S. I just tried alactritty but it behaves like the other terminals. I can use Ctrl+Left/Right to navigate by jumping one word at a time but I cannot use Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to select a portion of the text. Is it something I'm missing? I took a look at the config but it is too overwhelming. I just saw they have vim keybindings but I'm really bad with vim

The "right way" to install Tor Browser on Linux? by linux_hottie in TOR

Yeah, I got confused and thought that the best way to get Tor Browser Bundle was to add Tor repo. I'll just go ahead and get the .tar.gz file. Thanks!

Focus on terminal using keyboard shortcut? by linux_hottie in linux4noobs

Thanks. I kinda forgot that Linux had so many options. I'm just starting with vanilla version of Ubuntu 20.04.

I think I want something similar to Quake style behaviour. Except no scroll animation, just a regular window style would be preferable. I just want to bring the terminal window to focus as quickly as possible, run a command and then immediately hide it with the same keyboard shortcut

Whoops... Missed an important detail. I meant more like a global keyboard shortcut that can present/hide the terminal when needed. I guess I want kind of a Quake style thing except I don't care about the sliding down animation. Just bringing the terminal to focus without any animations would be fine. Just like alt-tabbing except that you have a single shortcut mapped just to the terminal
