However the NCLUG meeting has been held on the second Tuesday of the month regularly for a long time and so we had a good attendance regardless. Although not really an NCLUG topic we were meeting at FCCH and questions were asked about the new laser cutter. Stephen talked a little about the new 80 watt laser cutter. A show and tell of a cut sample was passed around. Just by extemporaneous connections a discussion of small run PC board manufacture spontaneously erupted. Marc talked about the X Window System's terminal character set and how to control it for XTerm for cutting and pasting via the primary selection. This allows one to control what gets selected with a double-click hightlight to the primary selection. Ubuntu apparently modifies this from the standard. If you like that then great. If you want the standard double-click selection of words then one can modify it back to the traditional behavior. The XTerm resources is the "XTerm*VT100.charClass" class. This led to some haphazard discussion of cut and paste under the X Window system. Single, double, triple clicks. Right click extends. Keyboard Shift-Insert pastes. Use of 'xclip' for command line cutting and pasting. Marc described how he used xclip and xpaste to create a virtual 10 cut buffers that could be easily switched between. Acting like a calculator register storage. James then talked about a process to de-duplicate a set of files in a large collection where there may be many duplicated files. Planning for topics for the next meeting.
