I use aliases a lot, e.g., alias apt1='sudo apt-get -y update' 2> 1, to update linux. I use integers as filenames for scratch files. vlc is my favorite music player now, but mplayer is fine.

Also just shut up your screen reader while playing music will work. If it is speakup, press the right bottom key on your keyboard, the enter key on the numpad for shut up. You can also set some config parameter in the mplayer config file in /etc to keep it quiet. for printing, just run print any_file_name If you have a properly defined mailcap file, things will just work. You can usually also just run lp any_file_name once your printer is configured properly. Web browsing is the one area where one has problems from the console. The lynx browser, that is l y n x, works well for many things, but does not support modern web pages. That said, I use it unless I really cannot do otherwise. The three commands, see, edit and print uses your mailcap file and is quite powerful. e.g. if I do see some_file.doc it will read a microsoft word document to me. If I do see song.wav It will start playing the music.

In other words, a client that already handles XMPP text, but could be improved to handle XMPP audio. Thanks, Fernando ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

The description is as follows: Description: MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap', and support programs As these files can be used by all MIME compliant programs, they have been moved into their own package that others can depend upon. Other packages add themselves as viewers/editors/composers/etc by using the provided "update-mime" program. In addition, the commands "see", "edit", "compose", and "print" will display, alter, create, and print (respectively) any file using a program determined from the entries in the mime.types and mailcap files.
