Switched completion engines. Blink is supposedly faster and so on but
what I really love is the batteries-included style.
I don't have to set up the basic lsp, path, buffer and cmdline
completions, nor styling for basic kind displays and more.
Hundreds of lines of config shrink down to 60, very nice.
While we are still hacking our way around a specific pipx venv (which
has to change), we are at least not hardcoding my own home directory
name anymore.
Battery will always be displayed on the very right of the status bar
now, to easily find the indicator. Also removed the remaining time from
the alternative display which snuck in there accidentally - it can be
seen from the tooltip instead.
Added python packages that should be installed through uv (instead of
pipx). uv provides a modern package and project management solution for
python packages which are not found in the other repositories (or which
should have additional dependencies which are not).
Will also slowly migrate my existing python packages away from pipx
toward uv so we need one tool less.
Every notification icon (except wifi) has a more detailed alternative
display format which can be toggle with right click. By default only the
icons are displayed.
Slightly declutter the status icons: Only display an icon which shows
the rough state until you hover over or activate alternative modes
(rightclick on respective icon) which show more detail.
Removed btop and glances since I've never used them in any serious
capacity. With my top being aliased to any of the monitors, I will only
really make use of bottom and htop in the foreseeable future.
Serve alias (now also with a more appropriately named file) will now
look for miniserve before any other static file serve program. I also
replaced sfz with miniserve in my installed programs. That is because
sfz has been unmaintained for a long time and miniserve completely
fulfills all my needs while still being maintained and recommended.
Only create shortcuts for external commands if those have associated
executables on the system. If we don't have an `atool` installed, it
does not make sense to have shortcuts for invoking it - likewise for
vidir, find, and so on.
edir is a slightly improved version of the morutils tool 'vidir'. We
switch to it to change directories, files and only sub-directories
(Invoked with ,rr / ,rf / ,rd respectively).
When invoking top it will automatically alias to a selection of newer
system monitoring software instead, using the first preferred
application it finds (e.g. bottom over btop++ over gotop over glances
and so on, ending with regular top).
While I never disliked tmux I have not been using it for absolute ages
now, ever since starting to multiplex with wezterm. Wezterm can (at
least with my current setup) *not* replace all tmux functionality -
especially running multiple sessions in a detachable way on a remote
server - but I have never needed those in a long time now.
Detachable sessions I can create instead with `abduco`.
If zoxide is found on the system, vifm will automatically add any paths
traversed into the zoxide database.
It will also have a new internal command 'zoxide' with which you can
open a menu to search all zoxide-known paths - it is also added as a
mapping to <space>z.
If 'yq' is found on the system, the qutedmenu script will now also
traverse any saved sessions for urls (either active or historic) and
display those as well.
Also added a simple check for the sqlite3 and yq tools and spit out a
warning if either isn't found. Program will continue unhindered and just
ignore the history/session urls respectively.
Instead of completely detaching marksman as soon as we are in a
zettelkasten directory, this disables displaying the 'non-existent link'
diagnostic instead. Only disables signs and virtual_text for now (still
displayed as diagnostic in e.g. Trouble windows) but should provide a
good first step into more fine-grained control.
Oh if only marksman just provided a flag to toggle this feature..
By default disable the line length for any markdown file. I never use it
and I always turn it off. If I need it for a specific project I can
still figure out how to make the configuration override this.
Just like writing and qutebrowser modules, restructured the version
control software module to make more use of dotter's ability to
precisely link files. All contained programs have a top-level directory
and all the files that correspond to that specific software lie beneath
in the directory tree.
Removed the left-over bib-due scripts. They were neat and fun when I
wrote them but they are not useful for me anymore. Additionally they are
very brittle and I do not want to deal with fixing or updating them.
Similarly to the qutebrowser module we change the layout to have a
program name at the top-level and all required files for that specific
program within, whether they reside within .config, .local or anywhere
else.
We use dotter mappings to achieve this.
