Microsoft has apparently introduced keyboard shortcuts in Windows to open Office apps and LinkedIn, as discovered by The Verge:
In response, KDE has opened a draft merge request to also have the same shortcut included by default:
Participants from GNOME, Fyra Labs, Budgie, and Flatpak have also voiced interest in there in addition to proposing a LinkedIn portal for xdg-desktop-portal.
This is evidently and rapidly becoming an essential must-have feature for all desktops.
I hereby kindly propose that Haiku also implement this keyboard shortcut by default. Of course in true Haiku fashion, the shortcut should be Alt + Shift + Ctrl + Opt + L instead of Ctrl + Shift + Alt + Opt + L as this is more ergonomic and consistent with the rest of the shortcuts. Besides being able to instantly interact on the premier professional social network and be more p r o f e s s i o n a l, implementing the LinkedIn shortcut allows for immediate stress-testing of WebPositive the moment Haiku starts up.
Iāve opened (and closed) accounts on LinkedIn twice. I donāt advocate its use due to itās prying AIās nature and due to being owned by Microsoft, my biggest enemy.
Honestly, I donāt think we should include key combinations to any commercial services by default.
You can of course set up a key combination to open LinkedIn with WebPositive (or any other available browser) quite easily in the keyboard shortcut preferences.
EDIT:
Wait, this is satire, right? Sorry that I didnāt get that at first sight
In case people were taking this post seriously: this tag at the end means āend of sarcasmā and so the whole thing is a joke. Well, at least I sure hope it isā¦
It originally didnāt have that, hoping that people would recognise it as not being serious. But well, it got taken seriously at first so it had to be added.
Yepp ā¦ and soon someone asks for Tinder support ā at the bottom of touchpad to locate a paging area for that RIGHT and LEFT choices ā¦
ā¦ activated by { UP arrow } + mouse Right burron click
deactivated by { DOWN arrow } + mouse LEFT burron click
DISCLAIMER :
Yes, your suspicion is real :
Itās satirical - <|8D
By the way, if you want the LinkedIn shortcut in Haiku you can easily add it yourself in Shortcuts preferences, just have it launch WebPositive with the linkedin URL as an argument.
That says something about Haiku being appropriately configurable instead of hardcoding things
Also, itās sad that Microsoft recently stopped manufacturing keyboards. They could have added a special LinkedIn key there so people donāt have to use such a complicated shortcut needing 8 fingers!
Very funny to waste time like this!
Nice to have that kind of humor here on Haiku!
We should look for more funny things like this, to make Haiku even more attractive!
We need more posts like this to make waiting for Haiku R1 a joke!
Hey, it is sad you didnĀ“t like the joke. Sometimes a thing that gets funny in one language doesnĀ“t make sense to others But this still is something better than the other unfruitful and inadequate discussions that appear here sometimes.
Also, that also points to some relevant discussions : what kind of āthingā are some others OSs becoming for the idea of this kind of shortcuts ( and most of the other changes in Windows and Linux) to even be accepted ?
I was red your post first time as if someone is happy to have humorous post on Haiku forum - my eyes were not , but my mind blurry or non-concentrated and if thereās no RogFantherās sobering text I would have remain in my happy misunderstanding - believing the opposite than you wrote about literally.
Anyway my analyzing sensor also faulty as I took the opening post bloody seriously ā¦
I can slip such stuff about MS , Apple , āsweetā Meta , Google , etc. anything foolish as deadly real deal ā¦ based on their past non-sensical manners and activities ā¦
It also reminds me of how, when Windows 98 was announced and one of the big new features was ActiveDesktop, Be developers added replicant support to NetPositive and embedded it on the desktop as well, telling to Microsoft āthat is your Big New Feature? It took us just an afternoon to implement it!ā
āā¦ Iām going slightly maaad ā¦ā
