Find only destination of symlink

August 9, 2022 by Magenaut

For use in a shell-script, I’m looking for a commandline-way to get the destination of a symbolic link. The closest I’ve come so far is stat -N src, which outputs src -> dst. Of course I could parse the output and get dst, but I wonder if there is some direct way of getting the destination.

Remap CapsLock to Escape and Control System Wide

August 9, 2022 by Magenaut

Is it possible to remap the CapsLock key system wide such that when the CapsLock button is pressed by itself it acts as the escape key and when pressed with another key it acts as the control key?

How can I use man without less?

August 9, 2022 by Magenaut
