On Mint Cinnamon, alt+clicking apparently drags the current window. Meh; why, given tiling (whether manually with Super+Arrow, automatically with cortile, etc.)?

On Windows, alt+clicking directly on links lets you nullify the link-following so you can highlight the link text to then copy. This is a far more useful feature to me. Is there any way to change Cinnamon to do this?

Solution: Just disable the feature in the "Windows" settings' Behavior tab!

I was replying to a larger comment by someone else and I couldn't figure out how to highlight and copy to paste into my own reply just a part of their longer comment. How do you do this? The only workaround I could think of was to back out and be able to highlight sentences in the comment from the main view of the post, not in the drafting section of my reply.

I'm finding that I don't really like the hot pink and fuchsia coloring. Is there any color-customizing? I would prefer orange or olive or sand... A color wheel would be great, but I see nothing.

1. Go to your inbox
2. Check for new replies
3. Look at the double-checkmark icon in the top-right, get confused over what it does, fear doing something undoable upon accidental tap, so hold your finger over it to try to get a description of what it means
4. No helpful text appears explaining what tapping it will do

The double-checkmark icon is relatively new to me. I've only seen this on Lemmy clients and I didn't remember what it was at first.

1. Start drafting a post in Blorp to submit to any Lemmy community
2. Spot a typo, or otherwise intend to delete or add a word, etc. in the middle of the title line
3. Proceed to delete or
4. The moment I press backspace, space, or any character, the text caret/cursor jumps to the end of the title text, causing the rest of my backspacing or typing to get placed there; I have to keep manually moving the cursor back to the spot in the title that I wanted to edit, per character.

I've never seen any other app do this. Could this be investigated? I'm running Android 16 on a Galaxy S25, if that helps. Thanks.

~~[Feature Request] Be able to filter for only unread replies~~

~~Sometimes I intentionally keep older replies unread as a reminder to go back to them later if they're addressing material that I can't get to at the moment but can follow up with later. So could there be a way to filter for only unread replies so that I can find those more easily? That would be great.~~

So... That was all the original post body. Then I realized (which I had somehow missed) that there is an "Unread" button already. The weird part is that it doesn't have an unread pip icon even if "replies" does. This really kinda threw me off for a bit.

I'm noticing that when you get a response and you tap the comment to go to, the screen doesn't actually take you to the comment; you still have to scroll down to see it. Could the screen automatically scroll or just start straight at where the comment is visible? Galaxy S25 on Android 16 here, if that helps.

Other apps like Summit and Thunder allow you to access the options menu for your posts and comments when viewing your own profile and directly edit your content right there. It would be cool to have that in Blorp.

I just returned here from Thunder, which has two amazing features:

1. It always asks whether you want to share a link from its instance, your instance, etc. It'd be cool if Blorp had this option to just always ask instead of having to go into the menu to change it every time. Even previewing what the URL would look like under each option would be cool.
2. It can create an image that has text embedded around it, which you can pick and choose in a modular way (just the image, or with the post title and/or post body, and/or the URL in the shared message body, etc.). I find this to be by far the most incredible feature that I've ever seen in any messaging app ever made (that I've tried, anyway). (In fact, the chief reason I left is that it doesn't support private-messaging, oddly enough.)

I read somewhere on Reddit that people who use Linux should periodically, manually check for security updates to their computers' BIOS from their motherboard manufacturers, because Linux apparently ends automatic updates once you leave Windows. I have no idea of where to look on the ASUS website for my Zenbook 14, or if that's even the right place. Could anyone give any guidance on this matter? Is this a thing that we should indeed be doing semiannually or something?

And what else should I be doing on a schedule (even if annually), while I'm at it? Haha.

Edit: thanks, everyone!

1. Set the custom keyboard shortcut sh -c 'pgrep -i keepassxc > /dev/null || keepassxc' to Alt+V
2. Keep KeePassXC's default autotype prompt keybinding, which is Alt+V

One disables the other. I thought that going the grep route might make the program opener conditionally inactive, but apparently that's not doing anything. I would really like to avoid using a separate keybinding if possible. Otherwise, I guess I'd just have to have it open on launch.

In GNU nano 7.2 (the latest as of this posting, as far as I know), why does Ctrl+Delete delete entire words but not Ctrl+Backspace? How do we restore its correct functionality?
