====== Cinnamon Config ======




===== Cinnamon applets =====

There are several very useful applets available to improve the desktop experience. Below is a list of several and some comments when necessary.

==== SSH Launcher ====

A small applet sitting in the system tray that provides quick access to ssh configuration stored in ~/.ssh/config in a way similar to PuTTY's quick-launcher.

Original version (has since been updated to v1.1):
https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/93

Fixed version 1.0:
https://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/223

In the 'fixed version', the edit config option has an error and needs to be changed after installation.
<code>
vi ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/sshlauncher@sotiwin/launch_editor.sh 
</code>
remove the chmod commands before and after the gedit command.


==== Grouped Window List ====

This applet replaces the regular task window list with app grouping and thumbnails and previews. Similar to Windows 7. (Fork of WindowList with App Grouping / Icing Task Manager, built-in in Cinnamon 4)

{{config:grouped_window_list_settings.json}}

==== Windows Quick List with Close Button ====

This applet adds a small icon in the system tray that provides a list of all open windows and an option to switch to them or close them.
