This post goes over some boring details of making the virtual console more comfortable to work with.

This is a post where I write about using Linux in the virtual console.

I have never owned a laptop computer.

There are new releases of tmux about twice a year.

Sometimes my tmux sessions will crash.

While working with some repeating text patterns, I wanted the ability to not only highlight them, but do so in different colors.

Got tired of writing and maintaining shell scripts, so I decided to rewrite some cgi scripts using go.

I don’t have much time to noodle around trying out new programming languages.

The tmux status line can do a bunch of cool stuff, though it isn’t always fun having to configure it.

This covers my first few non-contiguous hours using emacs.

The built-in help for neovim is awesome.

Copying text is a basic task that is often taken for granted.

I have several pages worth of notes about my experience using the chawan web browser.

There isn’t a ton of guidance for using multiple sockets in an actual workflow.

I need to automatically backup important files to a physical external storage device.

I’m not picky when it comes to terminal shells as long as is doesn’t crash.

Right as in the direction, not a correction.

Opening urls in neovim often feels like rolling dice.

Not issuing a challenge, nor participating in one.

An update during my trial run of elinks usage.

Started adding marks to the workflow wherever I can now.

Intended creating a new section about vim.

This post about w3m file management looks at improving the directory list.

After using Newsboat for rss feeding for a while, I sampled several alternatives.

Unrelated to html mark tags, w3m has a feature to mark blocks of text.

No desire to reinvent the wheel here, but rather smooth out some rough edges in my keyboard layout.

On a whim, I decided to try using elinks for web browsing.

Vim has a set of commands to set the current line position in view.

I don’t use tmux aliases often, but probably should.

I ended up going on a side quest while trying to make the w3m local file system buffer look cool.

I was looking for a reason to post about binding additional keys in the terminal with Readline.

I have written this at least twice due to needing to reinstall my operating system.

My terminal-based workflow started coming together soon after I discovered how to leverage menus in tmux.

Let’s continue the exploration of w3m as a file manager.

Since we are already using w3m for paging and web browsing, it’s worth it to attempt making file management passable.

Here is a suggestion if you browse local files using w3m and would like a small quality of life improvement.

Everyone appreciates a good status line in their terminal program.

Many content creators make use of software that displays the keystroke inputs so viewers can follow along.

I have used vi-mode in the terminal for years.

If you want to find out what. my. key. binds. look. like.

I previously went to the trouble of making a simple ’launch menu’ for hugo server management inside of tmux.

As I work more with Hugo, I find myself needing to start, stop, or restart the server.

Second to perhaps my text editor, w3m is the piece of software that has had the largest impact on my computing experience in the past several years.

Running cmatrix in a tmux window isn’t practical.

I use tmux extensively.

I miss out on Advent of Code each year.

I am not qualified to give anyone any advice regarding their blog, except how they can make it more readable in the terminal.
