Hi Jonesy,
On the first two, you can select just like in
windows, shift + arrows, and you can include the control for more
chunks.
On the second, I keep multiple windows open all the
time, thus the need to alt tab all the time.
I may have a terminal open, the browser, eMail, a
document, and a folder, and copying and pasting between some of
them.
So I will be alt tabbing around all the
time.
It is rare that I close a window.

Subject: [orca-list] Ubuntu Mate Use Questions I am still getting used to Linux and have a few simple questions.
1. How can I select text by character, word or lineto copy?
2. Is there a need to use workspaces when not using the OS visually? I use
alt tab to switch between open windows. There is only one scenario I can imagine
we’re having multiple workspaces would be productive and that is running virtual
machines. For example, the first workspace use with the host operating system,
second workspace with a guest operating system and third workspace running yet
another operating system.
3. Are there any tweaks that are accessible that help with navigation?
Potentially something like app to dock.
4. I’m running stock Ubuntu Mate. Does anyone have suggestions as to things
I could or should install or modify such as application launcher, file manager
or application manager, etc.?
5. If I create a folder called, “Git” and cd into it to git clone many
different apps, I only need to cd into the, “Git” parent directory to do a git
pull to update them, right? Just making sure I don’t have to go into each
individual folder and run the command to get the latest version. I wish I could
add anything cloned from Git to APT and update with a, “apt-get update”, but
that doesn’t seem possible.
Thanks everyone on the list for all of the great advice you have
provided.
