# Installing a new font - Install MonoLisa - Copy files to `/home/brett/.local/share/fonts` (using GNOME Fonts requires installing each font individually and it won't overwrite old versions) - Run `fc-cache` - Set the font - GNOME for monospace - GNOME Terminal - Install [Symbols Nerd Font](https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads) - Test fall-through via `echo \uf115'` in Bash (from [`lsd` docs](https://github.com/lsd-rs/lsd#icons-not-showing-up)) # Creating a shortcut for an AppImage You eventually want to end up with a [`.desktop` file](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html) in `~/.local/share/applications/`. - [Example of how to do it for Obsidian](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-uri-set-up-for-linux-obsidian-desktop/7494/4) - The AppImage spec suggests that [AppImages come with a `.desktop` file in them](https://docs.appimage.org/reference/desktop-integration.html) - `--appimage-help` shows the AppImage-specific options - `--appimage-mount` will temporarily mount the AppImage ## Solution - Create `~/Applications/<app name>/` (the location is a personal preference) - Download the `.AppImage` file - Mount it w/ `<file name>.AppImage --appimage-mount` and copy appropriate files - Copy the `.desktop` file in the AppImage to the directory - Copy the icon to the directory - Could probably also use `<file name>.Appimage --appimage-extract "<app name>.*"`, copy the files from the `squashfs-root/` directory and then delete the directory - Edit `obsidian.desktop` - Update `Exec` to execute the `.appimage` file - Update `Icon` w/ an absolute path to the icon file (else the AppImage will search for the icon using the [XDG icon theme spec](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html)) - Symlink `obsidian.desktop` into `~/.local/share/applications/` # Getting the menu bar to show up permanently in GNOME Terminal `gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Settings headerbar false` # Inputting emoji - Ctrl+. works in GNOME apps (much like Win+. on Windows) - `ibus-setup` lets you change the shortcut - Can use the search bar to find emoji found in Characters # Tweaking settings of a flatpak [Flatseal](https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) GUI app # Full size image preview [<kbd>F</kbd> or <kbd>F11</kbd>](https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/files-preview.html.en)
