Since I am here already, may as well dump all the tricks I have gathered over the forum regarding "repetitive commands/typings"

They go in order of easiness from a linuxiot (pronounce leen-ugs-idiot without the id ) point of view, the top ones are my choice, and most easy, and gets slightly more involved as one goes down the list. I, "who have/know nothing" - steal from Tom Jones, am barely able to compose this list. I request, whoever reading this post, jump in and expand the howto, pros and cons, of the particular method he/she choose, please. So that everybody can have a good idea what suit him/her the best with their device. And I will bet you 1$, that the list is NOT even near complete. Come on gurus show your tricks......... Thanks, here is the list,

1) Dpad up direction or ctrl+P: cycle thru previous typings/commands/history. They do not 'remember' a lot, probably about 20 or even less. How can one increase their memory? I want them to remember 50+.

2) Handwritten Recognition shortcuts: this thread you are reading

3) Toolbar menu http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...d.php?p=180310, thread #12; http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...t=16749&page=2, thread #15
the dot things, witch craft but works.

4) alias http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=16749, thread #4; http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=15276, thread #2; you have to store it in a /home/user/.profile file, otherwise it disappear upon reboot.

5) VNC, rdesktop or a BT keyboard; borrow keyboard from PC or BT; This is for some serious typing for 5 min or more

6) bash http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=16749; http://www.csee.umbc.edu/courses/und...lec06/01.shtml

7) osso-statusbar-cpu; http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=16749, thread #14; Another way to get a software reboot button, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...254#post192254, thread #2

8) personal menu - can use for repeat command launcher; http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...light=personal

9) SSH - ask some guru

10) Kerez - simple commands, http://david.hautbois.free.fr/joomla...d=44&Itemid=43

11) go for the Monte Carlo, a grand choice, not a gambling choice - setup KDE358, they have keyboard shortcuts build in. Step-by-step instructions with screen shots, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=20884; and shortcuts from our famous KDE member, PCQ, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...t=15228&page=3, thread #21

12) One more shortcut; after typing a few letters, press the tab key will show some suggested word to pick from - this is from the grand master fanoush.



That'sall folks,

Edit: 6/28/08: Does anybody know how can I share those shortcuts I made on tricks 2), 3) and 4), i.e., where do they store? I would like to BT to my coworkers as they are interested, but not 'technically competent' to type them in, in other words, they are lazy . TIA
