It seems that Windows 11 doesn't load the modifier key tables, so even though the shortcuts are exposed in the UI, they don't work. 😩

On the upside, a slightly quicker way to open a folder in Terminal is to type "wt" into the folder address bar, which is a bit less faffing about than going via the context menu at any rate.

Dear Fediverse, does anyone know why keyboard shortcuts that use Alt as the modifier in the Windows 11 right click/context menu might not be working?

For example Alt t is supposed to open Terminal on the current folder, and Alt o is supposed to open More options on the context menu, but neither seems to work.

Next year I’ll be celebrating 25 years ‘as Jamfactory’, as I first registered my personal portfolio domain of www.jam-factory.com in 2001. I’ve long wanted to make a hardback art book *and* a follow up to my ‘Do Fly’ book so I think I’m just gonna do it myself and see what happens! Watch this space!

You might not know that migratory birds like Swifts and Starlings are in trouble in the UK because modern houses have nowhere for them to nest.

The solution is to include a single £35 "swift brick" in every new build (a hollow brick that creates a nesting spot).

The Labour Gov is blocking the proposal to mandate this, and I've just signed this petition to encourage them not to:

Weekly Roundup #014

Weekly Roundup #014

Hello hello! It's been a busy week in my own time, hopping around with different passion project odds and sods! First off, I finished writing a mega-blog about the making of the Beyond Tellerrand titles. It's a big ol' bugger, so make yourself a cuppa

Guy sitting across from me on the commuter train home has an open beer in paper bag and is watching a show on his phone with the volume up, no headphones. Just doin’ his thing on a rush hour train.

Just gave @penpot a try for a project. It is much more mature than I had expected! But there are still quite a few bugs, quirks, and inconsistencies that make working with it very cumbersome. Still a way to go until this is a serious alternative to #Figma IMO.

Matthias Ott ●

Just to name just a few bugs: text is suddenly jumping to different positions, some gradients are flipped in the opposite direction while editing, I get sudden color changes for multiple elements although I was changing the color for just one element, and my collaborator can’t see images I added to the layout. Also, the color picker just stopped working completely in my project – whenever I want to pick a color, Penpot crashes.

Matthias Ott ●

And as the project has grown a little, zooming and panning is now starting to get really laggy… 😕

Hope the team fixes most of those issues quickly, because overall it definitely is an impressive open-source tool. 👏💚
