this one saved me a lot of time over the years. not a 100 hours but its definitely something i could use maybe a hundred times a day.

basically when you want to search something, just highlight the word(s), press a hotkey then select a site from the list and it will open up the page directly

i like using marktext. its a single document editor instead of a note manager like notable or evernote, but it also has a sidebar where you can add a folder.

https://marktext.app

im not sure if its actually native though or whether its using electron... but i think ghostwriter is. tried that for a while. pretty much the same as marktext just without a sidebar

theres actually a fair few things that do work with wine. any of the GUI stuff (although it looks a bit ugly), writing and reading to a file. menus. lots of other bits that i cant remember now.

but it only works with other programs that are running in wine so theres not a whole lot you can do with it at the same time. ive mostly been using it to process strings and that sort of thing.

ive been thinking i should try and make a list somewhere of what is working and what isnt. it would make it easier to test things every time there is a new version of wine released

i made a script for autokey that will run the selected file in wine when you press alt + r. if you download the portable version of autohotkey and add the path to it then you can use the same hotkey to run the a script

i do something similar using the appskey or printscreen key as a modifier so i so i only have to use my right hand. i used lp;' instead of the usual hjkl vim keys though.

  printscreen::
  thumbMod := true
  return
  
  printscreen up::
  thumbMod := false
  return
  
  
  #if thumbMod
  
  l::    send {left}      ; move caret
  `;::   send {down}
  p::    send {up}
  '::    send {right}
  
  +l::   send +{left}     ; select text
  +`;::  send +{down}
  +p::   send +{up}
  +'::   send +{right}
  
  ,:: send {backspace} 
  .:: send {delete}
  
  #if
