Re: [dev] [surf] copying to clipboard instead of primary
I'm not sure if this is related but I noticed that if I type Ctrl-Shift-o to open the Inspector nothing happens. Hi. For WebInspector try 'surf -N'. Regards, Marcin Szpak
Re: [dev] Patch apply status overview
Hi, I'd like to show an experiment I made for automatically testing patches on the wiki. Its purpose is it to have a quick overview of broken patches on the wiki. I hope this will also help the community and patch authors in fixing these patches together and pushing them to the public wiki repository. HTML view: https://gunther.suckless.org/patches/ CSV parsable list: https://gunther.suckless.org/patches/index.csv Great work, thanks. Thanks to it I can see that my surf patch didn't pass your test suite. :) Will fix. :) Regards, s/
[dev] [dwm] new release - transition from Openbox
Hi. I've been here for a while, mostly because of surf. And in general I like "suckless" approach. But well, I've got a question about dwm. To make it short: **I've been using Openbox for several years. Is it worth switching to dwm?** I'm mostly keyboard guy so my crucial functionality is to use keyboard shortcuts to: run particular program, switch desktops, switch windows, move them, resize, resize half-screen (vertically and horizontally), 1/6 of screen (1/2 x 1/3), and similar. Apart from that I don't use themes, decorations, menus, status-and-whatever-bars, self-reorganizing windows, and so on. The only additional window I use in Openbox is the one that shows me window list while I'm switching them (Meta/Win+Tab). And I need a colorful border around active window. I think that's it. So, Is it worth it, and will it be harmless, or maybe even beneficial? sZpak
Re: [dev] [dwm] new release - transition from Openbox
Hi, thanks for advice. One of the big pluses is pinning an app to a workspace. When I boot, I get two xterm windows in workspace 1, a browser in workspace 2, and my email client in workspace 3. That sounds interesting. At the moment I do the same at startup with xdotool set_desktop n and xdotool * windowsize * So that way I emulate tiling WM with floating one, but still have possibility to move windows around. A change in the config.h I highly recommend is moving the MODKEY from Alt to the Windows key: #define MODKEY Mod4Mask /* windows key */ This doesn't conflict with any apps I use, and it makes sense that the window manager uses the windows key That's a reasonable choice. I actually do the same in my environment. W-key is probably the only way to not interact with any app. Should be default one in my opinion. Anyway, I've received enough recommendations to give the DWM a try. s/
Re: [dev] [dwm] new release - transition from Openbox
Not all keyboards have a logo key, most of them have an alt key though. Well, yes, that may be truth. I've never seen one, though (apart from 8-bits of '80).
Re: [dev] [dwm] new release - transition from Openbox
Not all keyboards have a logo key, most of them have an alt key though. My keyboard doesn't have a win key. I believe that. :) But it's not an argument. I have one that even doesn't have some letters, but that doesn't mean it has to be supported. :) https://duckduckgo.com/?iax=images&ia=images&q=tracer+avenger I understand that proper keyboard support is necessary to start using system in the first place. But, still, I believe that nowadays keyboard without logo key is a marginal case (probably even in suckless community) - so it's not really important. Different matter is that "typical" keyboard has already at least 8 modifiers key (2 x shift, 2 x alt, 2 x ctrl, logo, CapsLock). Which is madness on its own. :) And "suckless philosophy" doesn't really state what has to be supported and what hasn't (which is actually good), apart from: "focus on simplicity, clarity and frugality. Our philosophy is about keeping things simple, minimal and usable." So I guess "we" have to stick with our intuition and make some arbitrary decisions. :) Alt is fine. ;-) Cheers s/
Re: [dev] [surf] Bug: _SURF_URI and _SURF_GO sometimes won't update
Hi Suleiman, I can't reproduce your problem just like that (google.de → search → redirection → copy/bookmark url). So mostly it works just fine, but sometimes I notice similar behavior, which is incorrect url after redirection (from duckduckgo in my case). It's not very often so I don't worry much about that, but I have a feeling that (at least on my machine) it's related to: 1. using proxy (privoxy or squid in my case); 2. unfinished page loading, which stops at some percent before 100, like 89% or even 40%; The problem number 2 was already discussed here on suckless list a while ago but I cannot find it now. Maybe someone else can confirm that it's related or not. Meanwhile try to reproduce bug without proxy (if you use any) and make sure that your surf sources are the latest one. sZpak
[dev] [surf] scroll not working
Is it me only or scroll stopped working after 7ea0c2f? sZpak
Re: [dev] [surf] scroll not working
Is it me only or scroll stopped working after 7ea0c2f? Maybe something to include in the git master? My fault; it works just fine. I was running surf in workdir but apparently `make install` was necessary to update web extension dir. s/
[dev] Programming as a hobby - which language?
Hi, I prepare myself for doing programming classes/course for kids/teenagers in a local community center. And I need your advice. **I have to choose language/technology/environment to teach.** My current ideas are. For older teenagers: * PYTHON, +pygame. (I've already did such classes in the past and It worked pretty well.) For younger ones: * SCRATCH (I don't like it but maybe 7-12-year-olds do.) Most of you have many years of programming experience and many of you started pretty early. So I'll be very happy to hear your ideas. But please note that it's going to be a "programming AS A HOBBY" course, not "programming course for your future professional career". sZpak
Re: [dev] Programming as a hobby - which language?
Hi, I want to thank you for all your advices. They are very valuable for me. I asked you about programming teaching because you are programming experts not because you are teaching experts (some of you surely are, though). And I did that for a reason. But if I misused this forum than I apologize. I won't continue the subject here. Regards, sZpak
