[SOLVED] Keyboard shortcut & popup dialog to add PPA - mpig - 12-22-2014
Is it possible making app to add PPA more simple?
Like combination Ctrl+Shift+ P then show small popup dialog to paste PPAs.

Hello!
There is a PPA GUI called Y PPA Manager, but I don't know quite what it could do/would do if installed and ran it on an LL machine. You could assign a key sequence to start it, I suppose.
When I add a PPA, I just cut-and-paste the PPA command into a terminal window from whatever site is mentioning the PPA. After all, just how often does a PPA need to be added?

I've never bothered with Y PPA manager.
Command is preety simple.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ppa_nameLike N4RPS said. How often does a PPA needs to be added.
Pasting text into terminal can be done with ctrl+shift+v
and whet you need to copy text from the terminal, select what you want to copy and use the key combination ctrl+shift+c

@N4RPS thank you!! I like it!
@misko_2083 in fact, i often have to add PPAs. I like trying other linux distros. But in the end, i always come back to LL. And i must install my favorite apps. Add & remove PPAs. That just make me bored. hahaha.

Sounds like a job for a script - which is the primary component of LL's updater. Since I never can remember exactly what I've installed on each of the several PCs I 'play with' here, I just might cook up such an animal - or just modify one of the LL scripts...

I'm sure I read somewhere... Unless I was dreaming... Which is always possible
There was an apt-get command that would allow you to query what "you" have installed and create an "Output file".
Then do the reverse with another apt-get command and use that created "Output file" to re-install everything.??
