Scribe links are often not redirected correctly if belonging to medium's
'global-identity' redirections. This is a first attempt at fixing those
by removing the superfluous string from the scribe URL.
Generalized enough to work as a 'post-processing' function for the
redirection plugin, which can be set up by pointing the 'postprocess'
key of a page entry to a callable object (most likely a function).
Fixed text not flowing to the external (nvim) editor and saved text not
being brought back into qutebrowser.
Same issue as here https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/6707
it essentially amounts to the terminal not having its own running
process id which qutebrowser uses to know when the application closes.
Thus, it thinks it closes immediately and deletes the temporary file. No
changes are brought back and the file is empty for the editor.
With the fix, this does not happen anymore.
I rewrote and extended the nsxiv-rifle script recently, and this change
now: removes the old script, adds the new one as a submodule into the
repository and links a working binary into the path.
The new script is essentially still just an image grabber-and-opener,
but supports more image viewers, is a little more advanced and can for
example replace arbitrary parts of urls (and is documented a little more
nicely).
Make qutebrowser use new script and remove leftover references to
nsxiv-rifle. Qutebrowser also gets a third option of viewing images, now
there are:
,i -> open selected link in imageviewer
,I -> open current page in imageviewer
,<C-i> -> open selected image in imageviewer
There was not much structure to the shortcuts versus commands so far.
This turns most userscripts into invokable commands, which in turn are
invoked by the respective shortcut mappings. Mappings themselves have
not changed.
New commands are:
- `readable` to invoke readability script
- `save-to-pdf` (from `save_to_pdf`) to save current page as pdf
- `recent-downloads` to show list of recently downloaded files
Added script which takes you to the corresponding sci-hub entry for any
DOI. DOIs can be passed in three ways:
- via hinted link (shortcut `;p` to start hinting)
- via selected text (select text then invoke `send-to-scihub` command
with `"p`)
- or from meta tags in current page (invoke `send-to-scihub` command
with `"p` when on article page)
It will grab the newest sci-hub link and attempt to bring you the
corresponding pdf file.
Added cookie-blocker script which attempts to remove the cookie banners
popping up on a variety of websites. Works well for some of the large
ones (e.g. reddit, google, stackoverflow) but less well on smaller
pages.
Can be invoked with `:cookie-block` command alias.
Now that I have time to enjoy a game every now and again once more,
pcgamingwiki is a wonderful resource to start looking into all sorts of
compatibility issues and troubleshooting, so it is added as a
qutebrowser search engine as `pcw`.
Changed the hinting style for image viewing from rapid hinting to
normal, single link hinting.
In the future I will have to think more about image viewing
shortcuts in general:
I want to be able to open the current page, a single link (default) and
multiple links in quick succession - how to accomplish without
overloading the lleader+i mapping terribly?
Plus, ideally I would want there to be a shortcut to open both links
(hint links) and images themselves (hint images) which may require even
further mappings.
Added two mappings: localleader+i and localleader+I (localleader being ,
in my case) to open single images or galleries in nsxiv.
The maps make use of nsxiv-rifle and mirror the setup for opening video
in mpv with +m/+M where capital letters open the current page and small
ones let you follow a link.
Removed alias to invoke sending a page to outline to make it more
readable. Two reasons: First, outline seems gone. The website is hogged
by advertisements. Second, when I really need a page in readability
mode, I can just send it to my personal wallabag instance and as a bonus
even get it archived automatically.
Changed default tab visibility option to only show when multiple tabs
are open.
Fixed default tab visibility to always take effect when qutebrowser is
started and always allow simultaneous toggling to tabs and status bar
(<leader>tt)
Added wikiless as automatic redirection for any wikipedia page.
Will only work for generall `wikipedia.org` links or specifically
english-language `en.wikipedia.org` links.
I have been using wayland for about three months now and the 'missing
things' roadmap has been shrinking steadily. There are still some
little things that are annoying, most concerning old xwayland or Gnome
applications such as when I have to make use of Zotero or Element -- all
GUI applications that I would prefer not to use anyway.
Otherwise it's a very pleasant experience and *extremely* solid. I don't
remember any crashes, it feels relatively light weight, multi-monitor
works without any hick-ups and I really can't complain.
I will for the foreseeable future stay with wayland, since it works so
well for me. My riverwm setup will still need some tinkering here and
there to make use of some of its nice features and not just pretend to
be using i3 again. Lastly, I will need to peruse my settings and find
left-over x11 things that will inevitably be hiding in this repository.
All doable things and that makes me happy.
Finally made the switch from alacritty to kitty. I have been thinking
about this for a while. Both, fundamentally, serve my purposes just
fine. Both are fast, customizable, gpu accelerated, and so on.
Kitty feels a little faster on the input, but this should not provide
major differences.
One big difference, however, is now very apparent and I can feel it:
Alacritty, on wayland, does not support any picture preview. It does not
support sixel, and things like w3mimg or ueberzug are based on and
require X11 to run.
Kitty brings its own graphics display library and it seems both pretty
stable and fast.
I have not done much more with it than use it in things like vifm image
previews but it should be much more stable than things like ueberzug,
much faster than things like sixel. Time will tell.
Switched other modules to make use of kitty instead of alacritty:
vifm uses kitty previews,
river spawns kitty instances,
systemd units use kitty instances,
waybar presents extra mouse-click interactions through kitty,
and styler contains a processor to style kitty permanently.
I would love to converge this all a bit more on the `$TERMINAL` env var,
but this is unfortunately difficult for things like systemd and waybar.
For waybar I currently see no real way except for a custom
`ideal-terminal` script which just goes down the list of terminal
emulators I want to run, depending on which is installed,
since it does not read env vars,
while for systemd it might be feasible to import user environment
variables,
but also connected to additional complexity and overhead which it does
not seem worth for the currently two simple service units it affects.
Also removed some obsolete sxhkd and sh settings from the move to
wayland.
Added ways of navigating the command mode similar to unix readline or
fzf lists.
^N / ^P will get you up and down the history / completion options
^J / ^K will get you up the last typed commands
^U / ^A / ^E / ^F / ^B / ^H manipulate the caret on the commandline.
Added a simple wayland configuration.
Currently set up simple wayland configuration based on river window
manager and waybar.
Rivercarro is the layout manager, being the same in principle as rivertile,
the default layout manager for river, only it comes with smart gaps
(gaps turn off if there is only one window open)
and monocle mode (give one window all space).
Runs `keyd` in the background to replace the old `xcape` capslock switching
(capslock is escape and if held control).
Uses `swaybg` to set a wallpaper.
Added powermenu and lockscreen scripts.
Improved lockscreen script to detect and work for wayland.
Moved old rofi mode 'powermenu' to more general powermenu script,
which works with any rofi-like selector (dmenu, bemenu, wofi, etc.)
Loses some of its design quality but since it was wonky anyway,
and I rarely see the menu,
we could repurpose its functionality for a more general powermenu
concept.
Currently hardcoded for `bemenu` but can be easily swapped and possibly
even extended back to rofi.
Fixed file upload link sharing to clipboard.
Updated rofi-pass to pass-pick.
Made rofi-pass universal and less integrated to rofi - that's also the
reason for the name change.
`pass-pick` works with rofi (default), bemenu or dmenu. In theory it
should also work with any other picker that contains a stdin listing
function similar to dmenu.
It has been definitely tested both on rofi and bemenu.
The best user experience still reigns on rofi, where available keys are
displayed on the picker and the keys themselves make the most sense.
But all functions can be reached from bemenu as well, though the key
mappings are more arbitrary and can not be changed as in rofi.
The autofilling tool works with both xdotool and ydotool, so should work
both on X11 and on Wayland. Ydotool ideally requires its daemon to be
running, otherwise some of the typing may get gut off. Otherwise no
change should be necessary.
Updated qutebrowser open_download for bemenu.
Updated download opening script to work with both rofi and bemenu.
Prefers original rofi implementation but works with both, and can be set
to use a custom dmenu-like file picker as well.
Add brightnessctl and removed custom audio / brightness scripts since they
became unnecessary.
Updated bootstrap script to include system files:
With `keyd` taking its configuration from the `/etc` directory and not
home, a second stow stage was necessary. These stow files are in a
module called `system-packages` inside the top-level `bootstrap` stow
package.
They will not be installed by the default dotfile stow invocation but
have been integrated as an extra step into the install script.
Installing this module requires sudo privileges!
Switched vifm überzug to sixel graphics rendering.
überzug relies on X11 functionality to work, while sixel does not.
Unfortunately, alacritty does not work with sixel graphics yet, only
foot does (somewhat).
Waybar currently runs the gruvbox dark soft color scheme.
Added the old polybar archupdates script to waybar and extended it to
output json format with additional metadata that waybar can read.
Can still output the old plaintext format that polybar expects.
Added a wireguard connection to waybar,shows if currently
connected to either a wireguard or tun VPN service.
If so, shows an icon in the waybar - that can be hovered over to show
the full assigned IP address.
Added an upcoming event display to waybar,
a simple event indicator to show upcoming events on the calendar, on
hovering over it the tooltip lists all upcoming events.
Added `screenshot` script to take simple screenshots and
rectangle region shots of the current output.
Can be invoked through the river shortcut PrintScr:
`PrintScr` - Fullscreen screenshot
`Mod+PrintScr` - Region screenshot
`Shift+PrintScr` - Fullscreen screenshot and file upload
`Mod+Shift+PrintScr` - Region screenshot and file upload
Extended `sharefile` to take paths through stdin and make
use of `fd` if it is found on the system.
Bookmarks are already gitignored. While I don't mind the quickmarks
being public, I also don't think them being saved in this repo brings a
lot of pros - and they are massively out of date anyway.
I could think about integrating them on a private fork
https://shivering-isles.com/publish-your-work-while-keeping-a-private-fork
we will see.
Added bemenu launcher (can alternatively use dmenu) to find and
quickly open a link in the current qutebrowser instance (or a new one if
none exist). Will open it by default in a new tab or if `tab` argument
passed, if `open` option is passed it will open it in the current page
instead.
The script can be used both standalone by being invoked as `qutedmenu`,
or from qutebrowser itself, invoked from its commandline as `spawn
--userscript qutedmenu <open|tab>`.
By default uses bemenu, but if that is not found on system will
automatically switch to make use of dmenu. If you want to use rofi as
your dmenu replacement, generally I will assume it is already symlinked
to dmenu.
Added a keymapping to sxhkd `Mod-Shift-O`, which invokes it from
anywhere.
Added automatic proxying to floss alternative frontends for proprietary
websites like reddit (teddit), youtube (invidious), twitter (nitter),
and instagram (bibliogram).
Often does not work on calling cached websites, meaning when it does not
load the correct page a full reload (shift-R) should call up the correct
frontend on first use of a previously visited page.

qutebrowser: Add LocalLeader key concept
Added differentiation between leader mappings and local leader mappings,
with a similar idea to vim:
leader mappings enact changes within qutebrowser on a more general level
(currently e.g. changing tab display, javascript switch, stylesheet
setting) while
local leader mappings enact changes or interact with the current page
context
(e.g. start mpv stream, display in readability mode, download pdf
version of page, and so on).
This will be hard for my muscle memory, but I think such a switch
benefits logical action separation in the long run, especially in case I
add more action shortcuts over time.
An interesting thing this separation also allows is a more
buffer-specific action repertoire (for example through recognition of
current page context with interceptors) so specific pages contain
different actions.

qutebrowser: Rename key mapping file
Renamed from `keys.py` to `maps.py` to keep some coherence with nvim
naming scheme.

qutebrowser: Add reddit redirection
Added redirection to old.reddit whenever a link on reddit is opened.
Added redirection of youtube links to yewtu.be invidious instance.
qute: Add gemini integration
Added simple integration for gemini. When following a link (`f` or `F`)
to a page which begins with the `gemini://` protocol, it will
automatically convert the page to html and display it instead.
qute: Update configuration structure
Moved larger setting blocks (cmd aliaes, content settings, key mappings,
url settings) into their own files.
qute: Add readability, code_select userscripts
Added userscript to invoke (python) readability mode which will render
the page in a much more nicely to read display.
Can be invoked either through `:spawn --userscript readability` or the
key combination `<leader>r`.
Added userscript to copy code snippets from websites, using the `code`
html tag. Invoked through `;c` to fit into the other extended hinting
options qutebrowser provides.
qute: Add open downloads, default download location
Added ability to open last downloads with `gD`, replaces the previous
open last download -- this one lets you select with dmenu where the old
option only opened the very last download automatically.
Set the download directory to default to XDG directory, with fallback to
`~/downloads` if the env var is not set.
qute: Set vifm filepicker
Set vifm to be the filepicker for qute. Can be used to select single or
multiple files.
Simply select the intended files in vifm and they will be passed through
to qutebrowser (and thus whatever website).
Switch the way bookmarks, quickmarks, and scrollmarks are set in
qutebrowser:
Bookmarks can be set with `~`,
Quickmarks can be set with `\`` (backtick),
Scrollmarks can be set with `m`.
This essentially changes the `\`` (backtick) and `mM` key functionality,
but retains the relative setting of quickmarks/bookmarks being on the
same key, just small and capital letter.
This has been changed since I more often need to quickly set a
scrollmark for a page than a new quick/bookmark, and to also unify the
key a little with how vim does it.
Most of the 'bookmarklet' little script invocations I have set
have been migrated away from `<leader>b` pre-mappings to `"` pre-maps:
`<leader>bw` became `"w`
`<leader>ba` became `"a`
`<leader>bg` became `"g`
`<leader>bG` became `"G`
and so on. This makes sense to me as a bigger 'mark' to jump to than a
key-chain prefixed with the leader command.
Lastly, added a key-binding for the newly addded `qr` userscript in
qute, which displays the current url as a qr-code:
`"q`
Added a command to send the current page to the outline service, which
acts as a readability layer (and lets you read e.g. medium articles
without pulling your hair out).
Just use the `send-to-outline` command, or use keymapping <leader>bo to
send the current page to outline.
Added videos directory to vifm quick marks (`v`).
Fixed (hopefully) qutebrowser statusbar hiding and showing.
Improved mail checking script password file handling by switching the
hard-coded path to one still somewhat hard-coded, but encapsulated in a
variable to make changing it later on easier. The script is a bit
slap-dash anyway, so when refactored should be refactored overall.
Added `gallery-dl` handling by mpv, whenever a link starting with
`gdl://` is passed in.
Updated the block lists, for qutebrowser's host blocking and its new
brave adblocking.
Fixed some errors in config file, and now formatted with black
formatter.
Should improve default javascript toggling, as well as fix the toggling
of tabs and statusbar at the same time.
I am not entirely sure why
`config-cycle -t tabs.show always switching;; config-cycle -t statusbar.show in-mode always`
works to cycle both at the same time, since (in my head) putting it like
this should *alternate* between both showing. But in fact, it does the
opposite and putting both in the same order (always not-always) will
alternate between them. Why, I do not know.
qutebrowser 2.0 changed the option names for host blocking, and this
update simply fixes that change accordingly. See your
qute://help/changelog.html#v2.0.0 file.
Added script to quickly translate a page or selected text through google
translate. Can be invoked through the aliases `:translate-page` or `:translate-selection` respectively, or the shortcuts <leader>bg, <leader>bG.
Added some gitignore files in the directory to stop keeping track of
non-personal configuration files.
Fixed the download media (`<leader>dm`) option in qutebrowser to
download the link that is hinted and not the current page.
To download the current page, the keymapping remains the same as before
(`<leader>dM`).
Switched default search engine for my personal searx engine.
Added search engine bangs for duckduckgo (ddg), man-pages (man),
alternativeto.net (alt).
Added key mapping to quickly open last downloaded file, especially
useful for downloaded pdf documents or similar files.
<leader>o will open the last file.
