How to replace spaces in file names using a bash script

As Linux users, we frequently encounter issues when file commands or applications stop working because of a space in a filename. This can often be caused by file operations or habits like saving files with spaces in their names. In this article, we’ll explore several methods for renaming such files by removing or replacing the spaces in the filename.

Bash script:

#!/bin/bash

ls | while read -r FILE

    mv -v "$FILE" `echo $FILE | tr ' ' '_' `
done   

Mid-click by three finger in Windows 10

Open registry edit by Win+R, regedit, ENTER. Go all the way down to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\TouchPadxxxx

There you will find 3FingerTapPlugInActionID key, change the value to 4. If you see 3FingerTapAction, change it to 4 as well. Sign out of Windows and sign-in.

This change can be reverted by the Synaptics setting app, as you change any configuration using the app (through Control Panel-> Mouse). So when it’s not working, check the registry again.

Shutdown/reboot with dbus-send

D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. In addition to interprocess communication, D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a “single instance” application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed.

The dbus-send command is used to send a message to a D-Bus message bus.

If you have dbus-send installed, you can shutdown via dbus without the need to escalate to root privileges.
