Google Chrome desktop shortcut in Gnome 3

Here is my way of creating a Google Chrome desktop shortcut in Gnome 3:

Create a file called Google Chrome.desktop in /home/name of user/Desktop:



#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Google Chrome
Exec='/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome'
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/google/chrome/product_logo_256.png


Save the file. Double-click on the file.

Sharp enlarged font

There are different ways of doing things.

An enlarged font is sharp, for example, when a font size is set to 80 in LibreOffice on Debian Linux.

It is necessary to turn on ClearType on Microsoft Windows to make the font look sharp.

In Gnome 3, the shortcut below is useful for capturing the desktop:

Ctrl + Shift + Alt + R

This key combination starts and ends the screencast recording. The file can be found in the /home/userName/Videos folder.

Print to PDF

Install cups-pdf. Then, when clicking Print, a PDF option is available.

You may want to install system-config-printer as well.


# aptitude install system-config-printer

iBus and LibreOffice

I think that the following lines will help me to use iBus with LibreOffice.

iBus does not start without the following lines. I type Chinese characters with iBus.

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/ibus-daemon -d



In particular, I need the following packages:

ibus

ibus-table-cangjie3

ibus-qt4 

ibus-gtk3


Remember to turn off the Caps Lock.
