Win+Cursor key functionality copied from windows 7
To maximise a windows, you can use alt+F10, which is great.
However, it would be really cool to have also the other functionality, such make window cover left/right part of the screen. The said combination is very logical and enables really quick manipulation of windows. Has anyone managed to get ...

Re: ClipIt or its better alternative respond to key shortcuts
Sorry, I confused two types of tools, as noted.
Screenshot
The 'Print Screen' key is the one that starts Screenshot. Ideally, if it could accept presetting, namely, always a region and always into clipboard ( with no confirmation with Enter required), that would replace the Onenote functionality ...

Re: creating swap after the installation
It worked, thank you BitJam. The utilisation is small - a dozen percent at most even at 90% of memory usage, but I am assuming this is correct.

[SOLVED] creating swap after the installation
Hi
I am on thinkpad x200 with MX19, 4gb ram, 64 bit.
I did not set up the swap partition at the time of installation. To get a swap partition now, here is what I have done:
in gparted, I created 8mb partition, swap one, right click, swapon.
restarted
The swap partition does not appear to have ...

[SOLVED] ClipIt or its better alternative respond to key shortcuts
In its settings, Clipit has key shortcut presets, such as ctrl alt H for history, ctrl alt A for actions, but pressing the keys does not appear to work.
Apart from working, I would want the hotkeys to do the screenshots - of the whole screen or of selected part of the screen.
How to achieve that ...

Re: Thinkfan to autorun upon login FIXED
Checked today to be sure; thinkfan is working. I want to fiddle with the thresholds, though, because even with windows 7, at some point it was possible to have the fan stop for a long time with the temperatures not reaching 60 Celsius. Or I'll just leave it with 3300 rpm and 46C at the hottest ...

Re: Anyone successfully installed Onenote? [solved]
Sure, made it show as solved.
It may take a while to see how this onenote works in the midst of a real research or study. I am used to opening a number of instances, something that is said to come with quirks - yet to find out what quirks.
