It’s satire from The Onion.

Switch to Sway windows by selecting them by label, like wmfocus or Vim easymotion (lemmy.world)
 

You've got multiple monitors and watch to switch to a window several windows away.

You could switch focus there with a number of arrow key movements.

"sway-easymotion" allows you to use to press a key that prints a one or two character label on each window. Press that key and your focuses switch there.

Over the weekend I submitted patches for a couple of new features. First, I added multi-monitor support. Second, I added a visual confirmation of which window was selected.

If you are familiar with Github and Rust, you can review the patches and try them out here:

How much of my i3 config can I reuse in Sway? in c/swaywm@lemmy.ml
[–] markstos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Sway is highly compatible with i3.

I believe the keysym names should still work.

Class and Title are X11 specific. Wayland has "app_id". Probably a quick find/replace.

Would you like to eat a whole bag of chips while you watch the 10-hour show?

How about if we break it up into into handfuls and you don’t look down to see how much is left when you reach for more?

ChromeOS Flex can install and run desktop Linux software and has a terminal. What else makes it Linux-like?

I love your dedication to adding trailers. This is best place to follow trailers now. I’m a fan!

The paragraph description did more to explain the movie than the quick-cut trailer.

ChromeOS Flex is designed as a desktop OS. Android is not.

ChromeOS Flex. Very low maintenance.

Some of these were installed on my family farm in the US through eminent domain. Meaning, we had no choice but the government was supposed to pay us a fair market value for the use of our land. I still remember that because that year all us three kids all got new bicycles!

I don't love them. If you are right underneath them, it seems like you feel the electricity and sometimes hear them crackle.

Framework has an opportunity here: they may not be able to build in an ergonomic keyboard with Kailh keys, but they _could_ split the space bar and make it into 2 or 6 keys.

Framework has announced a “One Key Module” which will be available later this year and will allow building custom keyboard designs for the Framework 16, which already uses QMK.

Some details are still unknown, but it seems like something like a Corne layout will soon be possible.

What keys to you use to activate custom layers with Katana?

A nice thing about custom keyboards is that they designed with easy to reach keys that can be used for layer switching.

First keyboard with copy and paste keys: 1987 First release of QMK: 2016.

About 30 years later.

All QT apps gaining support for special keycodes in 6.10 (lemmy.world)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by markstos@lemmy.world to c/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close, Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back, Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find, Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default keyboard shortcuts.

Any Linux users out there who have tried the OSBOT Meet 2 webcam? (www.obsbot.com)
 

It is reportedly plug-n-play for basic features, but for more advanced features, something like this project would need to be patched to add support for the camera.
