From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nerd Dictation: type anywhere with your voice (lemdro.id)

Nerd Dictation is a universal voice-typing solution that works anywhere you can input text, regardless of the desktop environment or window manager you're using.

Here is a demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7sR-4DFhpQ

Python package

The good news is that there's also a gui that consists of a tray icon and dialog for installing voice models.

There are also start and end scripts that activate and deactivate voice input and can be easily bound to your desired keyboard shortcuts.

Now the battle between "tab" and "space space space" people can really begin.

[–] winety 3 points 1 year ago

I don't think people who use spaces press spacebar four (or who knows how many) times.

The IDE will convert a tab into four spaces for me automatically.
