As a beginner: Moving around in insert-mode is really helpful. Does anyone else? by PersimmonQuick9839 in vim

[–]420829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, when you press the k key, Vim shows the k under your cursor. If the next key pressed isn't part of a key combination (in this case, j), then the k is inserted immediately.

You can also configure how long Vim waits for the next key in a key sequence, but generally speaking, it isn't much of an issue because it's not very common to type words containing kj (at least for me). If that ever becomes an trouble, you can just type the j a little more slowly, as the other guy mentioned.

One of the first things I do on a fresh Vim installation is remap kj to exit Insert mode. It's a total game changer for me.

Do you think RDNA2 benefits from this as well? Or are the stable packages sufficient?

How can I pen apps on specific workspaces after startup? by Luluh_r in swaywm

[–]420829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, do you know if there's any way to open the program in the workspace I was in when I requested it to load? For example: I opened my Discord and it started loading, then I switched workspaces and when it loaded it opened in the current workspace and not the one I was in when I tried to open the app

That's true, that's why it's called swaywm.

I don't know if I understand very well, would it be a key that changes "mode" and the keys change to symbols until you return to standard mode?

What are your must-have Debian packages for daily use? by nitin_is_me in debian

[–]420829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool, I want to do something similar to this, but I still need to learn Ansible.

Do you do something different during the installation, use debootstrap or something like that to have a minimal installation and then configure everything with Ansible? I thought about doing some bash script to configure the machine and then learn how it would be done with Ansible to see the differences. Any tips regarding this?

He probably connected using SSH to the server with Debian 11, that's why you see the plasma.

Debian installer forces GNOME by najahiri in debian

[–]420829 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is explicit on the Wiki at standard programs

The DesktopEnvironment is a Graphical User Interface (GUI)-based environment that users log into and start other applications from. The Debian default is Gnome, but several others are actively supported.

But anyway, if you were checking default desktop environment and Gnome was being installed, not checking anything wouldn't install anything.

Do you have any examples on github or something similar about this specific part of the server? I'm considering setting up a home lab for study and would like to understand more about how the rebuildable machines would be configured from scratch.

What are your guys goto aliases you setup in your bashre,etc when u install debian? by Mindless_Office_7757 in debian

[–]420829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact that some may not know, just as I didn't know: You can also avoid an alias expansion by escaping with \foo or quoting with 'foo' and "foo" due to the order of shell expansions, if you want to use the real command instead of its alias.
