M. Fauzilkamil Zainuddin — Fri, 27 Aug 2021 11:25:58 +0000

Installing Brave Browser on Ubuntu 20.04 is quite simple. Here is my steps:

Update apt (optional)

sudo apt update

Download Brave keyring and add to apt:

curl -fsSLO https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg &&
sudo mv brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/.

Check Keyring (optional):

apt-key list 2&>1 | grep brave-browser -A6
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg
-------------------------------------------------------------
pub   rsa4096 2018-10-15 [SC] [expires: 2025-03-17]
      D8BA D4DE 7EE1 7AF5 2A83  4B2D 0BB7 5829 C2D4 E821
uid           [ unknown] Brave Software <support@brave.com>
sub   rsa4096 2019-10-17 [S] [expires: 2023-05-06]

Add the Brave Browser repo:

echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list

Update apt again to fetch brave-browser repo:

sudo apt update

Install the brave-browser:

sudo apt install brave-browser

You should be able to use your newly installed brave browser now.

That's all...

Useful Shortcut Keys to Navigate Faster on Ubuntu 20.04

M. Fauzilkamil Zainuddin — Sat, 21 Aug 2021 15:53:17 +0000

As programmer, we tend to forget where the mouse is because our fingers are in standby mode at the home row keys on our keyboard.

In order to navigate faster from terminal to vscode to web browser and even to the next workspace, I think I could do faster using shortcut keys.

Here is my top list of shortcut keys to navigate around my Ubuntu 20.04:

Super - To search & start application
Super + PageUp/PageDown - To switch between workspace
Super + ArrowUp - Maximize Window
Super + ArrowLeft - Move current window to the left half of my screen.
Super + ArrowRight - Move current window to the left half of my screen.
Super + ArrowDown - Unmaximize window (not minimize)
Alt + Tab - Switch between multi application windows within same workspace
Alt + ` - Switch between same application type windows
Ctrl + Shift + Alt + ArrowUp/ArrowDown - Move current window to top/bottom workspace
Ctrl + Alt + < - Volume Down
Ctrl + Alt + > - Volume Up
Ctrl + t - New Tab in app like Nautilus, Chrome
Ctrl + w - Close Tab in app like Nautilus, Chrome
Shift + Ctrl + t - New Tab in Gnome Terminal
Shift + Ctrl + w - Close Tab in Gnome Terminal
Ctrl + PageUp/Down - Switch between tabs in app

Extra keystroke:

Sometimes when there is a lot of tabs opened on my web browser during research, I need to open the latest tab in new window. But there isn't shortcut for this on Chrome. So I have to:

Highlight the address - Ctrl + L or F6
Copy the address - Ctrl + C
Open new window - Ctrl + N
Paste the address and go - Ctrl + V and Enter
Switch to previous window - Alt + Tab
Close the moved tab - Ctrl - w

My actual list is longer. I couldn't type it all right now. But I will just publish this anyway and add more later when I have time.

Talk About Code

M. Fauzilkamil Zainuddin — Sun, 05 Jan 2020 06:30:34 +0000

Long time ago, I was writing about code and my journey in helping other coders in my blog http://coderstalk.blogspot.com

It's been a while that I haven't doing that anymore since I got super busy with my screen printing hobby and business.

Last year, I found this dev.to platform. And this is my first post.

The fact that in all these years of silence, I'm not totally stop writing about coding and my experiences. It's just I'm not really motivated to write for public readers. I just wrote a lot of notes for myself in markdown and keep it all in my note folder for myself.

I'm back

While writing this first dev.to post, I feel like home. Because I'm still writing in Markdown and I can paste my code as usual:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello world, Coder's Talk is back!!"

This post is basically my exploration in dev.to platform.

The Markdown feels the same like github but mermaid is not working.


```mermaid
graph TD;
  A-->B;
  A-->C;
  B-->D;
  C-->D;
  D-->A;
```

However, I love the way syntax highlighting like this diff is working

+ hello reader
- heyo who ever you are

and php...

<?php
$title = "apogee @ dev.to";
// who ever you are reading this...
echo "Welcome to ".$title;
?>

and c...

void function read_me() {
   printf("I'm glad you still reading this!");
}

and python...

# this is python greetings
print("Greetings to my reader!")

Anyway, I'm okay with it and I'm feeling grateful to whatever it is.

Feel free to have conversation with me by dropping your comment below. So I know who enjoy reading this.

Thanks for reading!
