jenv VS sensible-side-buttons

https://github.com/jenv/jenv to switch among multiple Java versions

You might like jenv

I like jenv for that. You can have a java version set per-project, systemwide, shell session, etc.

I don’t know if this is the “correct” way, but if you are Unix based I would recommend jenv. This is a Java environment manager, similar to pyenv if you know it. Using this tool you can easily switch from one installed version to another. It makes managing Java versions a bliss.

It installs Java 8 by default so if you wanted to override that you'd have to install Java 19 yourself. You can either do it manually, through a package manager if you're on an OS that has one, or use something like SDKMAN or JEnv. How you tell Scala to use that version of java depends on the way you're running Scala but generally setting your JAVA_HOME environment variable to the Java 19 install (or letting a tool do that for you) should work.

generally, u might need to use a java version manager. This should hopefully allow you to keep your current jdk version, but also switching to another one for the server. a good one is JEnv, which works by switching java versions as needed. For MacOS and Linux, use this one (https://github.com/jenv/jenv), while for Windows, use this one (https://github.com/FelixSelter/JEnv-for-Windows). It's very similar to something like rbenv or nvm, but you have to install the java versions yourself.

Another option is to use jenv.

I've heard this comment a couple of times today actually, and while I don't disagree, it is definitely not a common feature for CLIs to have. For instance, "RVM: Ruby Version Manager - RVM Ruby Version Manager - Documentation" https://rvm.io or "jEnv - Manage your Java environment" https://www.jenv.be or https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv

Sensible Side Buttons

Looks like it's Open Source too (GPL2): https://github.com/archagon/sensible-side-buttons

Hasn't had a commit in 6 years though. :/

On macOS, I use SensibleSideButtons to map my Logitech mouse side buttons to Swipe Right and Swipe Left. This works as a generic Forwards/Back in lots of places: Safari, Firefox, Finder, iTerm2.

Unfortunately the app appears to be abandoned (no Apple Silicon builds), but if there's interest I will resurrect it.

Sensible Side Buttons turns the side buttons on a normal mouse into forward/back page buttons.

SensibleSideButtons — If you use a mouse with side buttons

SensibleSideButtons (free) — again if you have a mouse with side buttons this will hook them up to back/forward

Out of the box, the scrolling felt quite off, even with Logitech’s new beta s/w. I found that the smooth scroll would also stop working from time to time which can get quite frustrating. Luckily there’s a bunch of great indie s/w like Mos, SteerMouse, Mac Mouse Fix, and Sensible Side Buttons that path some of the shortcomings.

External mice work just fine up to 3 buttons and a scroll wheel. Beyond that you need to either have a mouse with a Mac-specific driver or use SensibleSideButtons (https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net/). I strongly recommend Logitech MX Master 3, it works great on macOS, Windows and Linux. The former two have first part support, the latter through Solaar.

I use this little app to have the side buttons work in browser and Finder.
