In one of my recent blog posts, it would be too overwhelming to show you the entire code at once, so I introduced all of the moving parts piece by piece, as I explained emerging usecases.

In other shells, when you want to add a custom function, you add it to your config.

Over the years, I've tried a bunch of different approaches to emulate the mouse from the keyboard.

I've been using this neat task scheduling program called pueue for a while.

I've been using niri for a bit over a year now, and yet still I have a soft cap of windows I'm able to open before I'm completely lost.

In my previous blog post, I arrived at a rust “scripting” system that I was quite satisfied with :D But since then, I took upon a journey to learn nushell, and therefore was using it for a lot of my new needs.

I just figured out a longterm annoyance I've been having with how kanata does layers, and I want to share my findings with you.

I tried out Zen Browser recently, and one of the many good things about it that I noticed, is how smooth the scrolling feels.

No, I have not burned out on anki.

I use the yazi file manager, and like it a lot!

I'm unfortunately in russia.

Travelling to files in text editors is very slow at best.

I just found a very surprising behavior zoxide gives fish users, that might be part of the reason why zoxide always felt so useless to me in the past.

The default paths that you start with, and the paths you might end up creating naturally, can be quite inconvenient to work with.

Often times, various programs don't provide you a way to look at the default config file locally, but do provide one in the github repo.

I'm almost certain you have a problem that you either don't realize, or don't have a good solution for.

I managed to do something really neat.

An AI hallucinated, and god am I thankful that it did.

You might reasonably expect me to have switched off from firefox due to the recent privacy concerns drama.

You might instantly think that I'm going to be talking about how there's almost no real randomness in computers, and instead mostly pseudo randomization.

I'm autistic!

When using linux, over time you might naturally arrive at hating guis and preferring a more terminal-centric workflow.

I recently switched to wayland, and now my ffmpeg screen recording script no longer works, as it depends on x11.

New fish shell major version is coming out!

Some time ago, I tried looking for a pager, and found... nothing?

Anki is honestly a very hard to approach program.

If the title of this blog post is a genuine question you have, and you want to just skip to the most reasonable solution: use cargo-script why I recently realized that the two languages I like using, fish shell and rust, are ridiculously far apart.

Vim has made a stupid design decision, and we're still eating shit many years later.

Part of why I still use kitty is because its window manipulation is goated.

Shaving is a massive hassle.

I used to do magic with the quickfix list back in neovim, that gave me a pretty good find & replace experience.

In helix, these two actions exist: copy_selection_on_next_line copy_selection_on_prev_line The default hotkeys for both of them are shift+c and shift+alt+c, respectively.

As you may know, I maintain my own helix fork.

I hate buffering, so I download practically every youtube video I watch using yt-dlp.

I came up with a concept that completely revolutionized a lot of my workflow.

I recently finally figured out how booleans work in fish shell, and turns out they're very elegant!

I've been using neovim for around two years.

When considering switching to helix master, I went through all the commits after stable.

I say "god I hate kitty" a lot, but I usually can't think of examples for why on the spot.

You may sometimes want to set a bunch of multicursors on a lot of lines, where just holding C and letting key repeat do the job is a bit bothersome.

What I value most in a language is functionality — what and how easily the language lets me do things.
