Gems of October 24"
One step closer to building a habit out of this. These are my findings in October 24”.

Creating screenshots with Logitech MX Mechanical Mini
Not long ago I’ve bought a Logitech MX Mechanical Mini. Typing feels good on it and it is quiet for being a mechanical keyboard. For whatever reason Logitech has decided not to include a native Print key, but a custom one with a camera symbol, invoking Shift+Super+S instead. This shortcut is calling the Snipping Tool on Windows. I wish they have added a Linux preset to the keyboard. Unfortunately it is also not possible to remap the key by yourself within the keyboard.
As I use my laptop sometimes with other (proper) keyboards as well, the only good solution I could think of is, to multiple assign the screenshot shortcut. Gnome doesn’t allow this via the System settings, but by setting the configuration directly:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.keybindings show-screenshot-ui "['Print', '<Shift><Super>S']"

Git and SSH: no mutual signature algorithm
Sometimes things go wrong and it did recently when I wanted to clone a git repository via SSH.
Cloning into 'project'...
[email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Adding GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v" in front of the git clone command, lets make SSH more talkative about what is going on:
GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v" git clone [email protected]:customer/project.git
In the logs I could spot the following message:
debug1: send_pubkey_test: no mutual signature algorithm
The reason for this is that ssh-rsa was disabled by default a while ago.1 By adding PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes +ssh-rsa to your ~/.ssh/config it can be reenabled.
