OS: Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca

I recently updated from Mint 17 to 17.1, and lost some of my configs/tweaks. I'm putting this here for reference, and just in case anybody wants it.

I like changing tabs with the General > Windows > Alt-Tab > Window Preview (no icons) behavior of cinnamon. However, the slow fade out slows me down. The "fix" is to change /usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/appSwitcher/classicSwitcher.js. Near the top you'll see:

const PREVIEW_DELAY_TIMEOUT = 180; // milliseconds
var PREVIEW_SWITCHER_FADEOUT_TIME = 0.5; // seconds

Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch dual monitor setup

I've had this tablet for a while, and setting it up in linux mint was even easier than on windows 7: plug and play. There's even a GUI for configuring it. Some great apps I use are Gimp, Xournal and Pencil.

But eventually I got tired of opening the configuration dialog to switch monitors, and mapping the tablet to the whole area is no good, because you loose too much presision beacuse of the extra sensitivity (smaller movements cause greater effects on screen).

So what I wanted was an easy way to switch between monitors. Here's what I did.

Made a simple script called wacom-map-to-output to change to a monitor:

	git log --pretty=format:'%H%x00%an <%ae>%x00%ad%x00%s%x00' \| python -c 'import sys, json
	for line in sys.stdin:
	commit, author, date, *message = line.split("\x00")
	print(json.dumps({"commit": commit, "author": author, "date": date, "message": message[0]}))
	'


	def mesh_cleanup(mesh_o3d):
	mesh_o3d.remove_non_manifold_edges()
	mesh_o3d.merge_close_vertices(0.001)
	mesh_o3d.remove_duplicated_vertices()
	mesh_o3d.remove_duplicated_triangles()
	mesh_o3d.remove_unreferenced_vertices()
	mesh_o3d.remove_degenerate_triangles()
	# This seems to keep the majority normal direction, but without knowing
	# how it works there's the risk that it flips all the faces.
