Just discovered (by chance) a handy new shortcut in Windows. "⊞ Win + T" puts a selector in the task bar that lets you select items using the arrow keys. Left and right arrows moves between items. The up arrow can be used to move into a group of Windows for an item. ENTER selects the Window.
Screenshot showing after typing "⊞ Win + T". The first item in the task bar is selected. Screenshot showing after typing "⊞ Win + T" followed by the up arrow. One of the Windows for the first item is selected.

The #NoKings march in #SantaCruz, CA. This video took around 20 minutes to film (shown at 40x speed) and the crowd had already been going by for a while by the time I started filming!

Becoming increasingly disillusioned with Google, I am gradually replacing their products. I like DuckDuckGo for web searches but struggled to find a satisfactory maps app. I recently found Organic Maps, an open-source, privacy-focused, on- and offline maps app. I see no downsides!

My latest version of the Dryer Lint extension adds
- Rule sets that allow for linting rules to be selectively applied based on file language, glob patterns, and inline comments.
- "Dryer Lint: Fix All" command to fix all rules in a file.

I'm excited to announce a VS Code extension I recently published for writing custom lint rules using regular expressions.

I use it extensively when writing documents in LaTex (more on this later).

#vscode #latex #regex

Find it here:

Finally, I added a section describing how to display your theorem labels in the document's margin so that you can reference them with \ref or \cref without finding the label in the code.

I will be posting math-related things, especially regarding content I've shared on my website, paulwintz.com

I also have a math-generated art blog on Tumblr at spiromaniac.tumblr.com/
