How to get @DevBlackOps Terminal-Icons module working in PowerShell on Windows

Note: since version 0.1.1 of the module this now works in Windows PowerShell or PowerShell Core.

1. Download and install this version of Literation Mono Nerd Font which has been specifically fixed to be recognised as monospace on Windows:

Changes to my Mac

Turn off "press and hold" for foreign letters, allowing you to then press and hold for repeat letters. Open Terminal and run:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

Then you need to close/reopen any app before it takes effect.

Make the dock appear faster when using auto hide:

$regexIPAddress = '\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b'

$regexIPSpace = '(10|172|192).\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b'
