I came up with a single pass O(n) sort algorithm I call StalinSort. You iterate down the list of elements checking if they're in order. Any element which is out of order is eliminated. At the end you have a sorted list.

To clarify, I was hoping <number>shift-g would go to the page number. But I would be impressed if it went to the line number, and hopefully had a corresponding smarmy code comment

TIL you can navigate a pdf in Okular with h,j,k,l. Pretty cool

I also checked for shift-g, gg and <number>shift-g, but alas, no

@thomasfuchs oh no. But then, last month was the first time I grilled in Austria (fresh caught Saibling and Forellen in Steiermark 😋🤤). I held back opinions then, but it won’t be long before I do the same here
