How can I copy a line 10 times easily in Emacs? I can't find a copy-line shortcut or function. I can use C-aC-spcC-eM-w to laboriously copy the line but how can I then paste it more than once? Any ideas before I go and write my own functions. ...
In any language really, im looking for a simple (very simple) way to control the position of a shortcut on the users desktop. I already make the assumption that Auto Arrange and Align to Grid are unchecked. Ex: The program creates the shortcut to the desktop than places it at position (450,302) on the desktop.

I have a MenuBar setup with YUI's MenuBar widget, and I have a YAHOO.util.KeyListener attached to 'document' to get quick keyboard access to the menus and submenu items (e.g. 's' to open the Setup menu). The problem is that the keylistener will still fire when a user is in an input element. For example, a user might be typing 'soup' in...
Today I discovered you can make less act like tail -f. less filename, then press Shift-F to start follow mode. Just like tail, but you have all the added features of less - like scrolling, searching, and the highlighting of search hits. I've been watching log files with tail for years. This just made me ponder: are there other comm...
When debugging, a trick I do whenever I want to exit the current method without running of its any statements, I move the current execution pointer to the end of the method, then click F10/11. Is there a keyboard shortcut (or can I program one) to accomplish this? (I don't mean shift-F11 (step out) - that does run all the code until th...

I'd like to supply it some command line parameters like so: \\server\share\in_house_thingy.exe myusername mypassword But I can't seem to get it to work in either CMD or PowerShell or via a shortcut. Anyone got any ideas? ...
I am not interested in accessing the bookmarks menu or sidebar. The specific goal that I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to easily navigate (using only the keyboard) through the live bookmarks loaded from stack overflow by means of a feed reader and located on my bookmarks toolbar. Notes: I have found an add-on that supposedly d...
I'm currently using Win32ShellFolderManager2 and ShellFolder.getLinkLocation to resolve windows shortcuts in Java. Unfortunately, if the Java program is running as a service under Vista, getLinkLocation, this does not work. Specifically, I get an exception stating "Could not get shell folder ID list". Searching the web does turn up ment...
I need to test if a file is a shortcut. I'm still trying to figure out how stuff will be set up, but I might only have it's path, I might only have the actual contents of the file (as a byte[]) or I might have both. A few complications include that I it could be in a zip file (in this cases the path will be an internal path) ...
Is it possible for a Symbian S60 application to automatically add itself to one of the softkeys. The best would be if it could be done at installation time but if there is some API that can be used to add a shortcut the first time the application runs that would also be ok in our case. Does Symbian has some best practices around this. I...

Keyboard shortcuts can definitely improve your productivity. But first you have to learn them... What do you do to become shortcut-master? Do you just try to remember?

Hi, Say I add a function to an outstanding Interface. In Visual Studio, within a class which implements it I can right click the Interface declaration and re-implement it. This will update the code to reflect the changes made. Is there anyway to do the same thing in eclipse? It'd be nice if there was. I've searched the net, alas no joy....
I'm not sure what they call the fake shortcuts you often see in Windows now. A good example would be the link to any of the Office 2007 programs. You can tell one of these from a regular shortcut because the Target is grayed out and is not a real path. Can you access these through a .NET API? Like ask for the target? or get any of the in...
