Configuring LS_COLORS

On Linux, the default behavior of "ls" command will enable the option "--color=tty". However, because directories are shown in blue color, it is difficult to see them clearly.
You may certainly unalias "ls", but you may also change the color scheme by modifying the LS_COLORS environment variable:

The original value of "di" (directory) is 00;34, which makes it obscure. Changing the background to yellow make it more visible.

LS_COLORS='no=00:fi=00:di=43;34:ln=00;36:pi=40;33:so=00;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=01;05;37;41:mi=01;05;37;41:ex=00;32:*.cmd=00;32:*.exe=00;32:*.com=00;32:*.btm=00;32:*.bat=00;32:*.sh=00;32:*.csh=00;32:*.tar=00;31:*.tgz=00;31:*.arj=00;31:*.taz=00;31:*.lzh=00;31:*.zip=00;31:*.z=00;31:*.Z=00;31:*.gz=00;31:*.bz2=00;31:*.bz=00;31:*.tz=00;31:*.rpm=00;31:*.cpio=00;31:*.jpg=00;35:*.gif=00;35:*.bmp=00;35:*.xbm=00;35:*.xpm=00;35:*.png=00;35:*.tif=00;35:'

如何輸入德文字母

1. 選擇「插入」─ 「符號」, 出現符號表。
2. 將「Subset」改為 Latin-1。
3. 此時畫面上出現許多德文字母, 可用滑鼠點選後, 按「插入」即可加入至文件中。插入完畢即可按「關閉」關閉此視窗。
4. 在點選德文字母時, 視窗右下方會出現其「快速鍵組合」。例如 Ö 的快速鍵顯示為 Alt + 0214 即表示往後如需插入此字元, 無須再叫出符號視窗。直接在 Word 底下先按住 Alt，再於 Keypad 上鍵入 0214，放開 Alt 後就可以出現 Ö 了。
