Re: [PLUG] Wine and winetricks
|
That regexp coach is great! I remember when I was using a Mac, the TeXshop editor would color code all the selections at the same time with different colors, though I don't remember what it would do for overlays.
If someone is sharing a computer, maybe a bit insecure to have the passwords of PasswordSafe copied to the clip board. It shows up on my Klipper of KDE and does not get removed. I don't mind, but I would be cautious if another was using my machine and new how I was managing my passwords.
