This note presents a short quantitative analysis on how I used Tp-Note in 2020. Tp-Note is a note taking template system, that generates (by default Markdown) note files from clipboard data.

This short note describes how Tp-Note's internal viewer renders Asciidoc hyperlinks, allowing to open and to follow quickly hyperlinks in Asciidoc formatted note files.

The German E1 keyboard layout is an extension to the German basic layout containing a complete set of letters for all European languages. It comes with a set of dead keys giving access to all imaginable accents. My verdict after having tested the layout for some months now: this is the keyboard for Latin based languages! Beyond the specific case-related benefits arising out of its universal design, I don't expect to it proliferate widely, because it privileges the characters “äöüß” that are mostly used in German. Also the disposition of the letter “z” in the upper QWERTZ row, will discourage many people used to the QWERTY design. Computer programmers also, usually prefer the US keyboard because many common keyboard shortcuts are tailored for this design.

A part from that, a national keyboard layout is also expression of the writing culture of a country. In this regard it is particularly disappointing that this honorable new norm ships gender ideology.

Good news for RestructuredText fans!

This short note describes Tp-Note's new internal markup rendering feature.

One of my favorite use case of Tp-Note is the quick documentation of hyperlinks of any kind. All you need for this, is a browser addon like Firefox add-on to copy selection as Markdown. The rest is automatic, Tp-Note's templates generate the note without intervention.
