Copy the content of an environment












6















I would like to copy the content of an environment so that I can use it somewhere else. My main purpose is to print it inside a tooltip note.



My idea was to use the environ package:



NewEnviron{foo}

{

  xdefbidule{BODY}

  %more stuff

}


But when I use bidule I get an error:



 Undefined control sequence ....

 leading text: end{foo}

 Undefined control sequence endgroup.

 leading text: end{foo}

 Missing { inserted.

 leading text:   bidule

main.tex:19: File ended while scanning text of errhelp.


If my understanding is correct, I cannot use def because BODY won't be defined when I will use foo. Is there a way to achieve my goal?

  • You could also use an lrbox, assuming all you want to do is print it.

You don't want to do a full expansion of BODY, but just one level:



expandaftergdefexpandafterbiduleexpandafter{BODY}


or



xdefbidule{unexpandedexpandafter{BODY}}

  • No, I made a mistake. However, I don't really understand why I want only one level of expansion. Thanks for you answer ;) .

    @Saroupille Suppose the environment contains textbf: then xdef will die horribly. If it contains mbox{a} you want bidule to contain mbox{a}, not unhbox voidb@xhbox{a}

ASUS Zenbook UX433/UX333 — Configure Touchpad-embedded numpad on Linux

Image
0 1 I have an ASUS Zenbook UX433,on which ASUS decided to innovate by embedding a Numpad inside the touchpad (see picture 1). Toggling between classic touchpad mode and numpad (also turns the touchpad LEDs on) can be done through the golden button in the top-right corner of the touchpad. However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad. Has anyone been able to configure the numpad to work on Linux, or have any idea how this could be achieved? EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it. I tried installing them on Linux using tools like NDISWrapper, but they do not detect the TouchPad/Numpad hardware, and my understanding of drivers is too limited.
