Obsolete: xpath / Nokogiri: Find all nodes in a SVG path.

In an attempt to render Hyperlinks in SVG more comfortable, I had begun to enlarge the mouse-sensitive area around a linked content by creating a transparent rectangle around the link.

In the meantime, other techniques are swifter applied and probably easier used in a scripted routine.

This is historical, now. For your inspiration, the original blog-post:

:set spellcheck.languages ['en-US']

:set spellcheck.languages ['en-US', 'de-DE', 'fr-FR']
for only one or several languages at once.

To persist these settings, open config.py and add something like:
Code:
# Spellcheck

Related thread on the AVIF format and conversions with ImageMagick.

Just when I decided to give up JPEG for storing photos on my hard-disk and upon converting some folders with Nikon raw photos (*.nef) to JPEG2000, I stumble upon a variety of new image formats which all claim to be successors of the old JPEG. But although the “Joint Photographich Expert Group” is behind most of the effort, their work has – for the time...

nnoremap q <Nop>
and no longer end up in macro-recording mode, when I forget the colon before 'q'.

Unbuffered shell-input

Posted 10-16-2021 at 02:46 AM by Michael Uplawski

GazL has – in the very first comment on this blog, below – presented a better solution with the shell built-in command read: read accepts some parameters and a call like
Code:
