Shocked and saddened by his passing. It is amazing how much I have come to rely on his master work (VIM - Vi IMproved). Vim is one of the most useful tools I have ever used, this includes all the physical tools I have strewn across my shop bench. I would encourage anyone that works with text data to give it a solid try, it is a steep learning curve but so well worth the effort. -Rod P.S. Has anyone heard from Uncle Jim (Manley) recently? My email to him got bounced. Feel from to post back privately to crimson dot blue dot 2 at gmail.com Thanks.

Mastering Touch & Stylus in GNU+Linux
by Billy Croan 24 Jul '23

24 Jul '23

I recently got a laptop that has both touch and stylus support in the screen itself. I got a pen and it is connected and it works, even the pressure sensitivity. It's supposed to also communicate the angle of the pen though I have yet to see that. I'm interested in really learning how to use the GIMP image editor more fully, and make the best use of the stylus for creating things. I've used GIMP for as long as I have used Linux. I've done a lot with it editing something that started out as a photo or a screenshot or a scan. But I don't think I've really mastered it. Particularly I've always felt awkward creating something from scratch in GIMP. And I suspect that is because a mouse or trackpad don't feel very natural to me as a writing instrument. Well now I have a literal writing instrument that works in Linux! I'm not an artist and I'm not trying to learn to make "art". But I would like understand better how to take advantage of different brush strokes and pressure settings, color palettes, etc. and getting more out of the stylus I now have and the creative side of the GIMP as opposed to just the editing as I have done so far. There's definitely Photoshop classes and probably a Photoshop Meetup Group. But I have no interest in adobe's products. I also think this is a skill best passed on in person where you can watch someone's hand and then give feedback that a video or book cannot give. I'm also interested in other stylus-enabled apps (I have a few to share) and tweaking my Linux environment to be more useful with touch and stylus input. For instance I can tap and drag in Google maps, but I can't pinch to zoom still! I have to tap that damn plus and minus button like a peasant and it's humiliating. I would like to get my touch screen input in Linux working every bit as well, and the same ways as it does in Android. So I know touch screen and stylus are kind of two different topics but, any advice?
