 # Sharing a Bluetooth Keyboard between Linux and Windows
 
-I plug a USB Bluetooth dongle into my Dell monitor, so it follows me from PC to PC.
-
-There's lots of instructions to pair a bluetooth keyboard in Windows then copy the link key to Linux. I need it the other way around: I want to pair the keyboard with my latest Linux install, then copy the link key to my Windows install.
-
-Download `winexe`: this lets me run commands on a remote Windows PC. I've used the version below on several different Ubuntu-based distros:-
-```bash
-cd ~
-wget https://github.com/ms264556/WinEXE-CentOS7/raw/master/winexe
-chmod +x winexe
-```
-
-Now retrieve the link key and poke it into the Windows PC.
-```bash
-sudo bash # we can't see the necessary info as an ordinary user
-
-windows_address=192.168.1.248 # change me to the Windows PCs address or hostname
-windows_credentials=DOMAIN/USER%PASS # change me to the windows logon (remove DOMAIN/ if the account is local)
-
-cd /var/lib/bluetooth
-grep -r -H -A 1 --include=info "\[LinkKey\]" | sed "s/://g ; s~[/=]~ ~g ; s/.*/\L&/g ; s/-key.*/\U&/g" | awk '{getline;print $1 " /v " $2 " /t REG_BINARY /d " $4}' | xargs -I{} ~/winexe --user=$windows_credentials --system //$windows_address 'reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys\{} /f'

 # Setup Hotkeys to turn PbP On/Off on Dell monitors
 
-This is useful if you want to run a full-screen Teams/Zoom meeting or watch a full-screen video, but leave a panel free for making notes or surfing the internet.
-
-### 1) Download and Install Dell Display Manager (DDM)
-Currently here:
-* [https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER08877637M/1/ddmsetup2107.exe?fn=ddmsetup2107.exe](https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER08877637M/1/ddmsetup2107.exe?fn=ddmsetup2107.exe)
-
-### 2) Download DDM Hotkey Manager (DDMHKM)
-Currently here:
-* [http://www.entechtaiwan.com/files/ddmhkm.exe](http://www.entechtaiwan.com/files/ddmhkm.exe)
-
-### 3) Configure the Hotkey
-
-> My example assumes a Dell monitor supporting 80/20 is installed (e.g. U4021QW), and that the PC has 2 cables connected to ports DP1 & HDMI2.
-
-* Run the downloaded `ddmhkm.exe` to start the DDM Hotkey Manager.
-* In the _DDM command-line parameters_ box, type `/1:SetPxPMode Off`.  
-* Click in the _Select system-wide-hotkey_, and press the hotkey combination you want for No-PbP.
-* Increment the Hotkey from 0 to 1
-* In the _DDM command-line parameters_ box, type `/1:SetPxPMode PBP-2H-82 DP1 HDMI2`.  
-* Click in the _Select system-wide-hotkey_, and press the hotkey combination you want for 80/20 PbP.
-* Close the DDM Hotkey Manager.
-* Exit & Restart the Dell Display Manager.
-
-### 4) Fixup the Windows Display Settings
-
-#### 80/20 PbP
-
-* Use your hotkey to turn 80/20 PbP on.
-* Go into `Settings` > `System` > `Display`
-* Make sure that the Main display and Secondary display are in the correct positions.
-* Select the main display
-* Make sure `Make this my main display` is ticked.
-* Make sure `Extend these displays` is selected (from the button beside `Identify`).
-* Make sure `Scale` is set to what you like (e.g. 125%).
-* Make sure `Display Resolution` is set correctly (i.e. 4096 x 2160 on a U4021QW).
-* Select the 2nd screen
-* Make sure `Scale` is set to what you like (e.g. 125%).
-* Make sure `Display Resolution` is set correctly (i.e. 1024 x 2160 on a U4021QW).
-
-#### No PbP
-
-* Use your hotkey to turn PbP off.
-* Go into `Settings` > `System` > `Display`
-* Select the main display
-* Make sure `Make this my main display` is ticked.
-* Make sure `Show only on 1` is selected (from the button beside `Identify`).
-* Make sure `Scale` is set to what you like (e.g. 125%).
-* Make sure `Display Resolution` is set correctly (i.e. 5120 x 2160 on a U4021QW).
-
-> Note that after switching to a new layout it will take 10 seconds or so before DDM starts listening to hotkeys again.

 # Setup Hotkey to Switch Dell monitor between PCs
 
-## Windows PC
-### 1) Install Dell Display Manager (DDM)
-Currently here:
-* [https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER09052092M/1/ddmsetup.exe](https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER09052092M/1/ddmsetup.exe)

-* In the _DDM command-line parameters_ box, type `/1:SetActiveInput HDMI`.  
-* Click in the _Select system-wide-hotkey_, and press the hotkey combination.
-* Close the DDM Hotkey Manager.
-* Exit & Restart the Dell Display Manager.
-
-## Linux PC
-### 1) Install ddcutil
-```bash
-sudo bash
-```
-
-```bash
-apt install ddcutil
-```
-### 2) Allow runnning of ddcutil without Administrator prompt
-```bash
-cat <<EOF >/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/sh.fabi.pkexec.ddcutil.policy
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<!DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC
- "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN"

-    </defaults>
-    <annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.path">/usr/bin/ddcutil</annotate>
-    <annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.allow_gui">false</annotate>
-  </action>
-
-</policyconfig>
-EOF
-```
-```bash
-cat <<EOF >/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/49-ddcutil_nopass_tony.rules
-polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
-    if (action.id == "sh.fabi.pkexec.ddcutil" && subject.user == "tony") {
-        return polkit.Result.YES;
-    }
-});
-EOF
-```
-
-
-### 3) Create script to Switch Inputs
-```bash
-cat <<EOF >/usr/local/bin/switch-monitor-to-displayport.sh
-#!/bin/bash
-pkexec ddcutil setvcp 60 0x0f
-EOF
-chmod +x /usr/local/bin/switch-monitor-to-displayport.sh
-```
-
-> ```60``` is the ddc inputsource, and ```0x0f``` is my monitor's inputsource code for DisplayPort1.  
-> If you don't know your monitor's inputsource codes the you can [look them up here](https://github.com/ddccontrol/ddccontrol-db/tree/master/db/monitor).
-
-### 4) Setup the Global Hotkey
-Varies depending on Linux distro.
-
-For Linux Mint:
-* Open Keyboard Settings > Shortcuts > Custom Shortcuts
-* Press _Add custom shortcut_ button
-* In the _Name:_ box, enter something like `Switch Monitor To DisplayPort`
-* In the _Command:_ box, enter `/usr/local/bin/switch-monitor-to-displayport.sh`
-* Press the _Add_ button
-* In the _Keyboard bindings_ list, click on first `unassigned` slot
-* Press the hotkey combination

 # HiDPI Verdana Font for Programming
 
-Verdana is the perfect programming font... but it looks kinda chunky at 150% magnification or above (which is the default for a 27" 4K screen).
-
-Meiryo's latin characters are pretty much identical to Verdana, but with updated hinting which is much improved on HiDPI screens. Unfortunately (for programmers) Meiryo's `\` is replaced with `¥`, and Visual Studio ignores the substitution table entry which would fix this.
-
-So I've created a tweaked font (in FontForge) which puts the correct backslash glyph back.  
-I also added a => ligature, widened the hyphen, lowered the asterisk, and tweaked the kerning on angle brackets.
-
-<img src="../images/VSMeiryoUI.png" width="1189" />
-
-You probably don't have Meiryo, so from the Optional features Settings (try typing "Manage Optional Features" in the Start menu), add the Japanese Supplemental Fonts.  
-I accidentally saved the results to https://github.com/ms264556/Hackery/tree/master/images, if you want to save yourself some effort and just grab the fonts.
-
-FontForge needs to run the script which generates the new font:
-```Batchfile
-fontforge.exe -script vsMeiryo.py
-```
-
-Where `vsMeiryo.py` is:
-```python
-import fontforge
