Hacks 10-15
Some people actually prefer to use Linux as a desktop strictly in
text mode, without running X Windows at all. If
you're among those users, this chapter is definitely
for you.Graphical desktop users have
no reason to scoff at this approach. Plenty
of text-mode versions of productivity applications are equivalent to
the applications most people use on a graphical desktop. For example,
the text-mode email client called
Mutt is actually more
powerful and flexible in handling email than any graphical email
program that I've tried. It might not have as many
features as a combination email/organizer such as Evolution has, but
graphical email programs often force you through several menus and
submenus to accomplish a task that takes only one keystroke in Mutt.If you're under the mistaken impression that you
need to run a graphical desktop to use those special
multimedia and Internet keys on your
keyboard, this chapter will set you straight. You can redefine your
keyboard so that your multimedia keys control your CD player, the
Internet keys open your email program or web browser, and so on. If
you use your imagination, you can automate just about any action.This chapter focuses primarily on what you do at
the virtual console. You can use some of
the hacks in the chapter (such as how to colorize files in your
pager) in graphics terminals on X Windows desktops. But you must
avoid using the first two hacks with terminal emulators in X Windows;
[Hack #10] and [Hack #11] are designed specifically for
the text console. Because X generally redefines the keys the way it
wants them, these console definitions will be overwritten, which
means you lose the customizations. But at least it
won't hurt anything you do in X.
