Wasn't that one female? Or did I skip one, so I'm thinking "immediate past-past PM"... ugh, international politics is fatiguing. RIP Jonah Lomu... sports is so much more simple... and yes, I know he's NZ, but from 15,574 km away you're all one big happy bunch to us northsider red-necks.

You missed more than one, Miss Julie was tossed aside by Labor in 2013 favour of her predecessor KRudd, who she toppled in 2009. Krudd then lost the next election to the Conservative's Tone Rabbitt (Kunkel look alike), who was ousted a couple of months ago by Malcolm Turnbuckle. But will MT still be there at the next election, or will the budgie snuggler wearing Tone Rabbit topple MT off of his wall :)

Tone Rabbit is infamous for resurrecting Knights and Dames and then promptly gonging Her Majesties consort with one. MT (also known as Humpty Dumpty) has promptly buried Knights and Dames again. Whilst MT's a Conservative, he led the republic referendum campaign we had in '99, Tone Rabbitt is a staunch monarchist in the Cavalier tradition - so they are sworn enemies. Tone's also a POM by birth, Miss Julie was a Taffy.

Australia: the only first world banana monarchy on Planet Earth :D

some plugins have their own default detect strings ("configurations") but you can override them to taste

I recently noticed that x² could need a "only text" toolbar mode ... is there a chance that there will be some?

That's witty, but not the same. The menu needs multiple clicks. :D

I thought you were a disciple of the high-cabal of Vim, and therefore worshipped only the keyboard? Isn't "clicking" some kind of sin for you?

That said, I do know what you mean. Icons are a waste of space (especially when forced "above" the text). Most toolbars have icons on the side (if not an option to remove them completely), like steak-frites, thus preserving real-estate (and waistlines) for the rest of our sinful activities. :shrug:

Father, I am a sinner.
I switched to Emacs in 2013.

:biggrin:

(Admittedly still using Vim on servers. Emacs over PuTTY hurts my fingers and my mind.)

But still, yes, I could use the keyboard. In my new job, however, I (am finally using Windows again and) I am officially disallowed to manipulate too much of their precious computers. That makes things harder. I can't even run ac'tivAid (or Emacs) anymore. OK, I probably could, but I would have to ask my supervisor etc. etc.

if you want to save space on your toolbar, right click on it and eliminate the text labels. I know the german translator of x2 is rather verbose so the texts must be very long

"I want a text-only toolbar."
"Remove the labels then."

Is this already in the dictionary as the Greek Solution? :mrgreen:

Interestingly, the trend goes to icon-only. On Android it's hard to find a keyboard-driven file manager. Probably because on-screen keyboards suck.

But I also own real computers.
