Hey that’s pretty good, I’m gonna steal it. It might even be worth making a pullrequest to update swaylock to have a flag to do this, I use waybar and it has a lock inhibit button that I use before I start watching anything, but automating it like this is seems super nice
Yeah I only really use it for personal stuff for that reason. There’s a vscode plugin, but last time I tried it it was really slow
A keyboard and terminal based text editor, similar in some ways to neovim, vim, and vi
Agree on all counts. I didn’t like finding and comparing plugins for neovim, and then wrestling with environment stuff to get them to work, and having to change a bunch of options to get nvim to work how I want. With helix, my config of things I’ve changed from default is very small, and there’s no wrestling with plugins.
And yeah, “select then act” feels a lot smoother and more intuitive to me. If you like that and like plugins tho, check out kakuone
I used neovim but recently switched to helix and highly recommend it. If you haven’t tried nvim yet, give helix a try before deciding. A good way to compare is do the tutorial of each and see which you like more nvim +Tutor and hx --tutor (orhelix --tutor).
If you’re a current vim user the helix keybindings are only a small learning curve after the tutorial, and feel a lot smoother imo
I mainly use git with cli, the one thing that’s been super helpful in vscode is gitlens, which shows you who last updated the line you’re on, and lets you look at the commit
Hmm, the problem is I have multiple sizes of monitors. I suppose I could do that for each monitor instead of just applying it to the wildcard monitor
Tree style tabs is amazing, +1 for that
Librewolf is quick to update, it’s just a hardened fork of firefox
Just use librewolf or something, or if they incorporate ai, I’d be surprised if an ai-free fork doesn’t pop up quickly
Set up a usb with ventoy and try a bunch of distros. If you have 64gb ram you should even be good to download a game and try it out from the live environment
Yeah, sometimes people make mistakes but we can change for the better.
Personally, I wish everyone would just use the tab character and configure how it gets displayed in their editor, instead of imposing spacing on everyone
Does zed have helix keybindings?
Vim and helix have different keymappings for the same tasks, for example to delete a word, helix you type wd, but in vim you type dw. As a vim user of like 6 years, I prefer the helix bindings after understanding them. But the reason I say helix having vim bindings would defeat the point is that if you want vim bindings, just use vim or neovim with plugins. Those are both mature projects that will serve people who want vim bindings better, either switch to helix all the way, or don’t imo
Helix having vim mappings would defeat the purpose. But once you do hx --tutor it’s super easy and intuitive coming from vim/nvim
Also worth checking out helix editor. Once you do the tutorial it makes vim feel clunky
Tiling window manager users: nervous glance
Be careful: this could be you https://xkcd.com/1172/
Oh yeah I do this, I’ll raise you that mine also sshs into my server to update the editor theme
