I got an A4Tech PK-335 webcam for testing different stuff and I am a bit stuck on setting it up correctly on my Fedora Core 4 box. It is recognized as a USB device but not as a webcam yet.

If anyone succeeded to install it properly – please advice.

I finally got the headsets (A4Tech HS-7) with microphone so that I utilize the voice calls in skype.

I wounder if anyone knowns any perl WYSIWYG editor or better module? I was looking on CPAN but failed to find one and I really do not want to write my own (especially a JavaScript part for the textareas).

Something with a couple of methods, where one to create an HTML + JavaScipt code for textarea and the second one to parse text with tags for display.

I wonder what kind of keyboard shortcuts people use the most and for which purposes? I, for instance, here is what I use the most:

Alt+1, Alt+2,.. Alt-4 – switching between virtual desktops in KDE

Ctl+C, Ctlr+V, Ctrl+X and Ctlr+A – copy, paste,cut and select all in almost any app

Ctrl+Shift+N, Shift+Right/Left – Create new tab and switch right/left between tabs in Konsole.

Shift+PageUP/Down – scrolling the Konsole

Ctrl+F – find in many apps, mostly firefox though

I am also trying to memorize Ctrl+PageUP/Down for switch tabs in firefox. Long time I am trying to start using them with slow progress :(
