Goodie from Nano.

When you want to delete the current word you are over
with the cursor add the following line to ~/.nanorc:

bind ^J "{nextword}{mark}{prevword}{zap}" main


Credits to Nano project (thanks to Benno Shulenberg for
the trick and sorry for bleming: it works just great)

I convinced myself to run OpenBSD on my Mac from 2011.

A three problems matter.

a) How to access the boot menu: press Option / Alt key while starting your Mac.

b) Be sure to not compromise the existing OS: you usb installation shouldn't mount
external hds by device node references; or try http://fuguita.org project;

c) How to fix a missing EFI boot (the Mac requires it)

You can go ahead adding your EFI boot in this way:
1) backup your usb stick;
2) note down, somewhere your OpenBSD sector boundaries and offset+size of the last existing partition.
3) check you have some unused space on your stick, actually almost 300mb;
4) fdisk -i -b blocks[@offset[:EF]] sdx (<- replacing sdx with your usb disk)
stating carefully the @offset of the new partition
like the offset+size of the last existant partition;
NB: if you calculate well offset and size of the new partition,
without overwriting the existing data you should not lose anything.
5) confirm to fdisk the writing of the mbr; this will create
one only EFI area, partition [i], but..
6) at this point it seems you lose everything because fdisk
if you go in disklabel everything disappeared;
the matter is simple: you just created an empty zone
out the used space, so the subject become to recreate the OpenBSD
area in fdisk, with related boundaries (covering the full disk)
and going in disklabel you will notice everything is back;
7) remaining in disklabel add the partition [i] yourself like MSDOS
with the required offset and size; save labels;
8) now launch: newfs_msdos sdxi (<- replacing x with your usb disk)
9) manually copy BOOTX64.EFI and BOOTIA32.EFI from /usr/mdec to your
new partition in efi/BOOT (BOOT should be uppercase).

About *shelling*, I found two useful tricks to edit the filesystem.

To speed up editing on folder file list:
nano *.xml (CTRL+S, CTRL+X)

Recursively into subdirs:
nano `find . -name *.xml` (CTRL+S, CTRL+X)

The problem comes when given a filesystem structure like:

xml1/email/posta@celere.com
xml2/email/posta@celere.com
xml3/email/posta@celere.com
xml4/email/posta@celere.com
xml5/email/posta@celere.com
xml6/email/posta@celere.com
xml7/email/posta@celere.com

I want to rename with one unique shell commmand all the wrong
emails to posta@elettronica.lol

So born "ren", the interactive shell script to rename portion of file system - attached downward and supplied AS-IS.

PRB: the cursor of Caja-1.26.3 results invisible in dark mode eg. creating and renaming files

Having Thunar detached from Xfce it could allow us to uninstall Thunar in favor of Caja..

In my OpenBSD 7.5, xfce-4.18.1, after the upgrade the Characters Map / Special Characters utility was missing both graphically, in the menu, and on disk.

Reinstalled manually Char Map after the upgrade with:

pkg_add gucharmap

About Caja:

Not only Caja brings in some basic security features, but being based on Nautilus it enables also some operational tricks. Example, working on the filesystem we get the Undo (Ctrl+Z).

Installed 7.5:

From a first glance last version of Badwolf, ver 1.2.2p2 has various
problems, firsts in list:

- jquery ui doesn't run properly, when I start using a webapp coded
to consume this library, jquery ui goes in "log mode" only;

- I can't create more GitHub repositories.

I then cleaned my OpenBSD system with a "pkg_delete -a", deleting all the
unused library from 7.4 and now Badwolf is behaving correctly both on
Github and with jQuery UI.

Hope this eventually help someone.

About security again.

Just adding a simple evidence: dark mode is difficult to print.

If you are dedicating time to web browser and email client development
in OpenBSD.. I suggest to point antennas on dark mode too..
