Below are some settings I like when working under Microsoft Windows.
The following two features, which I once got accustomed to when working with Linux and the X-Window system, are, in my opinion, quite useful and can easily be turned on in Windows by following these pictorial instructions:
Single-click to open an item (point to select):
Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse:
Total Commander is an indispensable, absolutely must-have tool for every serious user. I feel helpless on a Windows computer equipped with Windows Explorer only. Having been annoyed by clicking 1, 2, or 3 button, I purchased TC years ago. It’s such an indispensable tool for me that I even have it on my Android phone. Here are my customized horizontal bar and vertical bar (just for inspiration; you will probably need to make some modifications to fit your system):
GNU Emacs & MSYS2: an unbeatable combination
The GNU Emacs text editor is also available for Windows. Coupled with the MSYS2 Software Distribution and Building Platform for Windows it provides an unbeatable development tool. For example, here are screenshots from using these two as a LaΤeΧ development environment (together with the MiKTeX’s YAP previewer):
Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript language and PDF files. GSview 5.0 is a (rather obsolete) graphical interface for Ghostscript under MS-Windows, can be occasionally useful, e.g., for determining an EPS file Bounding Box. (GSview 6.0 availability discontinued.) Tip: set it as a *.ps and *.eps viewer for F3 under the Total Commander menu Configuration ▶ Options… ▶ Edit/View. The file extension association for the Enter key remains untouched, but the F3 key will invoke GSview 5.0.
MuPDF is a lightweight PDF, XPS, and E-book viewer. I enthusiastically recommend it for common reading; it is robust, minimalistic and very fast, contrary to rather cumbersome Adobe Acrobat Reader. Tip: set it as a *.pdf viewer for F3 under the Total Commander menu Configuration ▶ Options… ▶ Edit/View. The file extension association for the Enter key remains untouched, but the F3 key will invoke GSview 5.0. An Android version can be installed from Google Play (recommended, works fine).
Sumatra PDF is a free PDF, eBook (ePub, Mobi), XPS, DjVu, CHM, Comic Book (CBZ and CBR) viewer for Windows. If Ghostscript is installed, PostScript (*.ps, *.eps) and PJL (Printer Job Language) files are supported. Sumatra PDF can be used as a pre-viewer for LaTeX editors. In my experience, Sumatra PDF will also open PDF documents that Adobe Acrobat Reader or MuPDF are unable to open (font issues, etc.).
