Switch Your Laptop Between Home and Office Network Easily
Switch Your Laptop Between Home and Office Network Easily
We recently shared a network connections profile manager called NetSetMan for people who frequently travel with their laptops. Each time they get to a new location, they have to manually change settings of their network card and browser proxy server before connecting to the internet.
Though NetSetMan has a free full version, some comments have pointed out that the license prohibits use of the software at work or any commercial purpose.
If you need to shuttle your notebook computer between home and various office locations, the other good alternative is Net Profiles that again helps you effortlessly change your network connection settings .
With Net Profiles, you create various profiles for each of your network settings and you can easily switch from one to another. Can also be used for managing network printers, mapped drives and multiple Wi-Fi wireless networks.

Switch Keyboard Layout Easily in GNOME Shell
Switch Keyboard Layout Easily in GNOME Shell
GNOME provides us easy way to add some different keyboard layouts and quickly change between then easily. This allows us to quickly switch English standard keyboard into Japanese or Chinese or Arabic or any other keyboard language set by a simple click on the top panel. Use this on your GNOME when you need to type some letters or any writing in Katakana, Pinyin, or another alphabet systems.
Add Keyboard Layouts
To change quickly, we need to set them up first. You should decide what keyboard language set to add (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, etc). For example, we will add a type of Arabic keyboard here:
(1) Go to GNOME System Settings.
(2) Open Region & Language.
(3) See Input Sources section.
(4) Press Add (+) button then click triple dots button.
(5) Type Arabic then the dialog window will show you Others entry. Click it.
(6) Select one of some Arabic layout variants available. We select Arabic (Buckwalter) variant here.
(7) Press Add button.
By the same example, you may add another keyboard layouts or another variants. See this picture.
Switch Between Layouts
You may switch between keyboard layouts quickly by top panel icon. See your top panel if there is a country identifier (e.g. en, ara, jp, etc.) then it is the layout switcher. Click it and select one layout to switch.
Switch More Quickly
You may press Super+Space to switch to another keyboard layout available. This is the same way as clicking the switcher on the top panel, but it is way quicker.
