3 Things I Learned This Week 2015-02-06
stree command in cygwin
Sometimes you just wanna launch SourceTree from your current cygwin command prompt.
No reason you can’t.
Accessing the clipboard on cygwin
Too much cygwin this week, I know. But I found out you can access the clipboard
through the magic /dev/clipboard
pseudo-file. Just cat stuff in to copy, and
cat stuff out to paste.
You can set up some OSX-like pbcopy
and pbpaste
commands too. See an
example at Command line clipboard in OSX and Cygwin
Visual Studio is a pain sometimes
VS2013 has forgotten how to let me set the fonts and colors for the code editor. The option just doesn’t appear. There are a few StackOverflow posts about it, but no working resolution for me. I think I’ve reinstalled a dozen times over the last couple weeks.
I just can’t live with Consolas.
Oh, and WPF development crashes my whole machine. Can’t begin to imagine whats going on there.
