MATE

Created 2023-06-17 Updated 2024-01-17

AUDIO/AUTOSTART

Bookwork seems to set the sound at 40% on a desktop start. Here's how to set it to 100%. It also relates to autostarting something

vim ~/.config/autostart/sound.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.4
Type=Application
Name=alsa-volume-restore
Comment=alsa volume restore

Exec=pactl set-sink-volume 0 100%
StartupNotify=false
Terminal=false
Hidden=false

CAJA

Open Terminal using F4

Need to do this outside of MATE, as "accels" file keeps getting overwritten.

Using

vim ~/.config/caja/scripts/Terminal

enter the lines:

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script opens a mate-terminal window in the current directory.
#
# Note that you need to have caja-actions installed to use scripts.

cd $CAJA_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI
exec mate-terminal

Set permissions:

chmod +x ~/.config/caja/scripts/Terminal

Using

vim ~/.config/caja/scripts/accels

add the line:

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ScriptsGroup/script_file:\\s\\s\\shome\\spi\\s.config\\scaja\\sscripts\\sTerminal" "F4")
