I agree that lately it seems that the Web has become everything, but really, in this case, why do you want to have this information on the Web, and not locally? Wouldn't it be better to some program (a beefed up version of xman, tkman, pinfo, or whatever) that give you access to the man pages, header files, javadocs, info files, documentation PDFs, READMEs and so on and so on *on your system*? This will have several benefits over a Web version: * The information you get is true to your exact system and the software versions you have - not more and not less. * The information is always there and always quick (this is becoming less and less of an issue, but sometimes still matters). Unlike Microsoft's MSDN, which can (somewhat) cleanly divide the information it gives into in Windows XP, , while in Windows VISTA, in Linux this would be almost impossible - for every search you perform, there will be a different answer for Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, an answer for Linux 2.4 vs. 2.6, for Glibc version X vs. version Y, for ten-thousand different packages you may or may not have installed, with ten versions each, and so on and so on. This is why I think it would be easier to create a system that searched for information on your system, which is relevant to your system. Ok, not really MSDN like. It will be more useful to allow the user to limit the search to a specific subsection of the site.

Re: using only left alt-shift for language changing
Hi, I'm not sure about the second criteria (without any other key presses) but I use the following configuration in KDE to have switching to hebrew on Alt+ *LEFT* shift : In xorg.conf I have: Section InputDevice Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option XkbLayout us,il EndSection In KDE control panel there is: - Hebrew layout defined (regional accessibility - keyboard layout). - Of course - Make caps lock additional Control ! ;-) (keyboard layout - Xkb options tab) Now, leave KDE setting for layout switching on Ctrl+Alt+k. Now logout of KD to your console. Edit $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals and edit the line Switch to Next Keyboard Layout to something like Alt+Shift_L (no quotes), if only Left shift specification is enough for you. Never tried specifying Alt_L or something like that. Good luck, Boaz. Micha Feigin wrote: I am currently using alt-shift to toggle the input language in X (so that others using the machine don't get confused trying to switch to hebrew). the problem is that there are some required shell and emacs commands that need both alt and shift (such as Meta-% in emacs and Alt- in bash). Is there a way to limit group switching in X to just the left-alt + left-shift combination or even better, only when no other extra character was pressed? thanks = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
collaborative online document writing software
Hi, I remember once someone posted on this list a project that allowed writing documents online simultaneously by several users. It did this by exposing a web interface with some ajax calls behind it. It looked great, felt awesome and I can't find it anywhere. Anyone knows what I'm talking about?

Asus EEE and hebrew
Hi people, This is not a job offer, but just an idea that if someone to pick it up.. maybe he could make few shekels :) As many of you know, Asus is selling a very low cost notebook EEE PC for around $399 and it's quite a hit everywhere. The Israeli representative is RonLight (www.ronlight.co.il - don't bother looking at the site with Firefox, it's terrible) and they plan to bring it to Israel and sell it (I don't know for how much). One thing that they will need to do is to add hebrew, so since this EEE is running Xandros (which is debian based), the hebrew adding stuff should be quite simple, although might require some translations (since it's not standard KDE). I'm not RonLight representative and I don't have any connection to them, but if someone wants, he/she could contact them and maybe do some contract work to make deb packages of Hebrew for EEE which will be added here in Israel to the sold machines. I'm just tossing the idea in the air, if someone wants to do something. I'm sure many Israelies would love to buy this nice notebook with Hebrew on it. For those who want to read, I wrote a small review on this machine at my blog: http://witch.dyndns.org/wp/?p=284 Thanks, Hetz -- Skepticism is the lazy person's default position. my blog (hebrew): http://benhamo.org = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
