Launch X programs with fzf












0















I tried to launch graphical programs with fzf following this guide. But when I do $(compgen -c | fzf) & the job of fzf gets in the background and abruptly comes up, but then doesn't take the input well. It just becomes a mess. Why is it doing that and is there any way I should do this?

          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.
