On stock JB, even with USB debugging turned on, it's been tightened down. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2013/02/security-enha...


Are you thinking of EXTPROC/LINEMODE? There's outstanding patches to bash, telnet, and ssh to support these, which enables local line-editing that works smarter than just local echo.

TIOCPKT_IOCTL(EXTPROC) and TIOCSIG support landed in Linux kernel 2.6.36: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux....


My workaround is to click an element, then type into console

    $0.appendChild(document.createElement('tagName'))
but yeah, a [+] button would be nice…


Android WebKit and Chrome use V8.


Browser's gone from the stock image on the Nexus 4, 7, and 10.

android.webkit.WebView is still the same Android WebKit engine that Browser used (whether it's installed or not); Chrome brings along its own WebKit port.


OAuth authentication for IMAP (via SASL): https://developers.google.com/google-apps/gmail/oauth_overvi...

I don't know if there are many clients that support it yet, though.


Not true. Internet Explorer used to work with both NSAPI and ActiveX plugins, until they pulled support for the former.

"""Netscape-style plug-ins are supported in Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and earlier, but are not supported in Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Internet Explorer 6.""" -- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306790


Thanks, I stand corrected.

I just remember, that there were two versions of Flash - ActiveX for IE and NPAPI for all the others.


After switching between keyboards with Esc in different places, I've learned to use

    Ctrl-[
instead. Can hit it without moving that far, and it works just as well in GVim as it does in all terminal programs.

The only downside is being confused when nothing happens in a browser...


I learnt that `Ctrl-W` removes a whole word backwards in vim and the terminals.

The only downside is being confused when


Nope,

    <file ./command --args
and even

    ./command <file --args
works fine in Bash and Zsh.


So that you can do tricks like this:

    #define ever (;;)
    for ever {...}
;-)
