css - Bootstrap Customization: Why should I use LESS? -


i'm considering integrating less in bootstrap editor (bootply.com) conform bootstrap customization best practices, , support mixins.

however, i've yet determine specific advantages (performance , otherwise) of using less on simple css overrides. seems in end less compiled css. seems less introduce more maintainence/recompiling tasks new versions of bootstrap introduced.

currently bootstrap customization bootply done adding custom 'theme.css' after 'bootstrap.css'. if want change .navbar color add few lines 'theme.css' like..

.navbar-custom .navbar-inner {    background-color:#444444; }

and markup looks like:

<div class="navbar navbar-custom navbar-fixed-top">..

if not best practice customization, how less improve on it?

less abstracts away css messes this:

background: #45484d; /* old browsers */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(top,  #45484d 0%, #000000 100%); /* ff3.6+ */ background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#45484d), color-stop(100%,#000000)); /* chrome,safari4+ */ background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top,  #45484d 0%,#000000 100%); /* chrome10+,safari5.1+ */ background: -o-linear-gradient(top,  #45484d 0%,#000000 100%); /* opera 11.10+ */ background: -ms-linear-gradient(top,  #45484d 0%,#000000 100%); /* ie10+ */ background: linear-gradient(to bottom,  #45484d 0%,#000000 100%); /* w3c */ filter: progid:dximagetransform.microsoft.gradient( startcolorstr='#45484d', endcolorstr='#000000',gradienttype=0 ); /* ie6-9 */

in case, navbar has gradient, cannot change background color. if use less, can pick 2 colors, , somewhere inside bootstrap's css files, looks above mess updated automatically.

linux - xterm copying to CLIPBOARD using copy-selection causes automatic updating of CLIPBOARD upon mouse selection -

i've tried various ways coerce xterm (versions 285 , 292) copy selection clipboard clipboard whenever press ctrl-shift-c. promising way far has been, in ~/.xresources, put this: xterm*vt100.translations: #override \ ctrl shift <keypress> c: copy-selection(clipboard) \n\ ctrl shift <keypress> v: insert-selection(clipboard) ctrl-shift-v works perfectly, copying has nuance... if restart xterm, highlighting text puts things in primary clipboard; expected, proper, default behavior. if hit ctrl-shift-c, copies current selection clipboard clipboard. the bug, however, if highlight text after first time pressed ctrl-shift-c, you'll see highlighting copies both primary and clipboard. cannot figure out how stop xterm updating clipboard upon selection... , doesn't make sense me in first place. i said, @ specific point in time, copy selection clipboard... yet starts updating automatically upon selection after doing once... anyone have workaround...
