      A very thoughtful analysis. I've been on the side of "peace from both sides", but I can see the progression that you lay out.

      There's a natural spring just a short distance from here. Sometime about 30 years ago some kind of piping was added to it, so now the water comes out of a pipe a distance above the ground. People would fill their water cooler bottles there. About 10 years ago a sign was put up "This […]

      RT @lnxw48a1 Behind this laundromat there is a pipe that continuaously spews water. People drive up and fill bottles, then leave. Trusting. I naturally assume that there is some contaminant and I therefore avoid drinking water from mystery pipes.

      The only reason I have a Github account is to provide bug reports and feature requests to projects I want to support. I don't code much, but anything I want to be publicly available is on my own website. Although not in a code repository, which is probably a good idea.

Auto-Type Keywords for KeepassX

Posted by Bob Jonkman on 1st November 2016

KeepassX logo

KeepassX

I use KeePassX to keep track of passwords for web sites, server logins, and encrypted disks. And, at the touch of a keystroke, KeepassX can auto-type login names and passwords to those web sites, servers, and disks.

By default, KeepassX sends the sequence

{USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}{ENTER}

but if the Username field is blank then KeepassX just sends

{PASSWORD}{ENTER}

or if the Password field is blank then KeepassX only sends

{USERNAME}{ENTER}

But what other things can KeepassX send? A quick look at the AutoType.cpp source code reveals these additional keystrokes:

  • {tab}
  • {enter}
  • {up}
  • {down}
  • {left}
  • {right}
  • {insert} or {ins}
  • {delete} or {del}
  • {home}
  • {end}
  • {pgup}
  • {pgdown}
  • {backspace} or {bs} or {bksp}
  • {break}
  • {capslock}
  • {esc}
  • {help}
  • {numlock}
  • {ptrsc}
  • {scolllock}
  • {add} or {+}
  • {subtract}
  • {multiply}
  • {divide}
  • {^}
  • {%}
  • {~}
  • {(}
  • {)}
  • {{}
  • {}}
  • {f1}
  • {f2} .. {f16}

Netware Debugger Monitor keystrokes

Posted by Bob Jonkman on 25th July 2012

Photo of a Novell Netware screen

Novell Netware 6.5

I dig out my notebook with the Netware Debugger Monitor instructions and keystrokes whenever I’m called in to work on a new (to me) Novell Netware server. Typically, there’s some kind of problem that needs more SysAdmin powers than those available through the ordinary Netware console screens, and the Netware Debugger Monitor is what gives a Netware System Administrator his superpowers. Sometimes it’s even possible to regain control of a hung server by using the Debugger Monitor. Thought I’d share:

Swap Screens
ALT+ESC
List of screens
CTRL+ESC
Alternate console
CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+ESC
Shutdown prompt or the “Hung Console Menu”
CTRL+ALT+ESC
Entering the Netware Debugger Monitor
LSHIFT+RSHIFT+ALT+ESC
