iTerm2 Configuration in Mac: Line editor configuration


As a Linux programmer, I used terminal tools a lot in my daily life, I use terminal tools to search dictionary, to play multimedia resources, to editor files, I also can play movies in the terminal, do you believe that? I also use terminal tool to suspend my Laptop. 

 You know something changed after I am rich, I purchased a MacBook, which is really beautified. As I start my Macbook journey, I remembered that the first application I opened is Terminal, but it was so silly. I felt so uncomfortable without an awesome terminal tool. Then I found iTerm2, which was said the best in Mac.

 But the nightmare was just the beginning, iTerm2 was great, it is the Macbook's keyboard layout, there are only left Ctrl key. Damn, that meaning I have to change the memory muscles to adjust the familiar finger gestures, especially the line editor navigation key bindings like Ctrl+A to the beginning of a line, Ctrl+E to an end of the line, ...

 Tonight, I finally found the right ways to remap the key-binding to the familiar finger gestures. When I click Ctrl+A, it actually sends the hex code 0x01. This website list all the key-mappings. In Macbook, Alt key replaces the Ctrl key's position, and Command key replace the Alt key's position. In order to replace less key-binding, I decided to remap Command+A to play the same function as Ctrl+A. So the solution is to let Command+A send the same hex code 0x01.

 Open the iTerm2's preference, and select the keys tab to remap the following key-bindings:

Command+A --> 0x01
Command+B --> 0x02
Command+F --> 0x06
Command+E --> 0x05

 as the following figures show up.

Bluedroid stack in android Table of Contents Bluetooth stack in android Bluedroid .VS. Bluez Porting guide of Bluedroid stack 1 Bluetooth stack in android From Android 4.2, google use Bluedroid stack as its default Bluetooth host stack, before android 4.2, its default Bluetooth host stack was Bluez, which is also the Linux distribution's default stack. So why google changed its Bluetooth stack? The reason is maybe that Bluez stack was designed for the desktop environment, so in order to port Bluez into android, android must solve some dependency issues, like porting Dbus, Linux desktop's default IPC, into android. So there are at least five processes to power Bluetooth before android 4.2, they are systems, Bluetooth APP, Bluez, hciattach, and Dbus. The damn thing is that there are bugs between them, so Bluetooth stack is the weakest part in the android system before android 4.2, yeah, it is the usual reason that android system corrupted. So, what's t

NAT stands for Network Address Transition, which is the basic function of gateway host. I try to hack Bluetooth tethering module in android this week, it include the Bluetooth Pan profile and the NAT setup process, which means in order to implement the Bluetooth tethering, first, two devices must be connected by Bluetooth Pan profile, and then the server part device acted as gateway host to supply the network forward service. In other words, after Bluetooth Pan profile connected, the server must to setup its NAT rules to forward the IP packages. So how to setup NAT rules? 2 How to setup NAT host? My memory is still fresh that at the start of my Linux journey, I setup my Linux desktop as an NAT host to provide Internet services for my lab's classmates.

Emacs lisp can do network connection programming by its network API. But there is something difference with other kinds of programming language. First, elisp do not support multi-thread, pretty cool, huh!! Yeh, Multi-threads programming is a horrible venture for you, right! Second, There is no socket similarly conception in elisp, and elisp provide network programming ability as processes. Elisp can open a network connection by function – open-network-stream .  It can make network connection server listen a special port by function - make-network-process . Both of those function return a process object. Then you can communicate with the process by process's API. 2 A example I write a snippet code to figure out How to use it.
