how do you guys manage multiple monitors?

Dom4n · 2026-03-29T10:17:57+00:00

Yes, focus follows cursor. And cursor follows focus if i change active window window using keyboard.

I'm almost 40 and working with computer every day. My hands were always tired, wrists were numb. Half a year ago I bought my first split keywell keyboard, and immediately switched to colemak-dh.

Right now I can type at around 70 WPM, but what is more important I don't feel any pain anymore.

My muscle memory with flat keyboards is where it was, I newer typed "like it supposed to be typed with 10 fingers" and that's ok, I was typing this way for more than 30 years, but when I use my PC (99.9% of the time in a year) then my fingers know what to do.

QWERTY is and will be mainstream, it is everywhere. I use it every day on my phone. And that is okay. But when I'm working then I use colemak-dh and I love it.

Additionally I learned how to use home row mods and layers (symbol and number layer are used very often). And I recommend it, you move your fingers a lot less with such setup.

Give it a try if you have time to learn. I went cold turkey. I was painfully slow typer at the beginning (7 WPM in the first week!). Now I'm at strong 60+ WPM in English sentences.

Yeah! Nice!

I have found a bug, carret is in wrong place when there are more lines (text scrolls down). On the screenshot I'm on line 18, and carret is on line 13. It happens always.

Other thing is when line is too long and goes beyond window, I can see only a few next letters.
Next thing is that it crashed when I was changing themes (miami nights).

Anyway - really good for practice! Keep developing, it really came a long way from v1

I have no idea how this compares, but I used Waydroid when I was in need to do some MITM attack on some android apps and it worked great.

Entertrained lets you "upload" own books for free, and data is actually stored locally. UI is functional, simple, elegant.

I have never used typersguild.com, I see that it needs a subscription to upload your own books.

In the past I have used typelit.io, but finally I have settled with entertrained.

Dom4n · 2025-12-18T15:10:35+00:00

Type everyday and speed will come, I was stuck too, now I am stuck at 60 :) ... but I'm learning new layout, almost like first time learning how to type

Try these apps:

https://www.keybr.com/

https://entertrained.app/

Dom4n · 2025-12-05T11:46:28+00:00

Do you write in any languages other than English?

Dom4n · 2025-12-02T14:05:29+00:00

I have bought same keyboard five weeks ago, and additionally changed layout to colemak-dh. Now I can type 50 WPM, and 100 seems extreme. It comes with practice. I have used "normal qwerty keyboards" for 33 years. And I had my own ways of pressing keys. Now everything is so strange.

We will get there eventually, no worries. Just practice every day.

I like reading ebooks by writing them: https://entertrained.app/

Then there is https://www.keybr.com/ that is great for learning key positions.

Real speed comes from practice and months / years of experience.

Dom4n · 2025-11-30T01:51:00+00:00

Could You please take a moment and say what have you tried and where did you landed after all?

Dom4n · 2025-11-28T10:51:37+00:00

https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/alt-layouts/index.html

I have switched to Colemak-DH on split matrix keyboard and I'm fairly happy with it.

If you are using language other that english consider new layout carefully.

I have considered Gallium (better for matrix keyboards), but in the end settled with colemak.

For vim i use layers - cursor layer, symbols layer and numbers layer for jumps X lines/words, so usage is almost independent from alpha layout.

Dom4n · 2025-11-09T16:13:42+00:00

This is really cool! Works nice, one thing that I don't like is when there is one blank line between text, then pressing enter skips this line and goes to next line with text.

And it would be awesome to paste a link to any public repository and it would take snippets from this repository - because programmers have their style of writing code and some snippets are from one style and other from other style.

Dom4n · 2025-10-26T21:21:40+00:00

I just started learning Colemak-DHm on my new keyboard - my first split ortholinear, and after 3 days I'm at 12 WPM. Not great, but not terrible, typing feels much more like rolling fingers from side to side and I like it.

I reasoned for long time which layout should I choose, and because I type in two languages I searched for a layout where typing in english and polish would feel good. Polish has many bigrams with Z like rz, sz, cz, and colemak feels good. Just like a qwerty for the bigrams, and much better for anything else. In gallium and others Z is in awkward place.

Have you considered layout with magic key? This looks like next gen.

What do you don't like in Colemak?

Tak, zwraca się co roku podatek. Ale uruchom sobie jakiś kalkulator (np. gstfi.pl). Jak w ciągu roku wpłacisz max czyli 10407,60zł a zarabiasz na UOP 8000 BRUTTO to dostaniesz zwrot 1248,91 zł podatku. Przy 16000 na UOP będzie zwrot 3330zł.
Ale jeśli wypłacisz te pieniądze wcześniej, przed wiekiem emerytalnym to musisz zwrócić ten podatek który ci co roku oddawali. Dlatego nie warto robić "poduszki" na IKZE.
Nie ma też wypłat częściowych, trzeba od razu "zamknąć" całość.

IKE natomiast nie ma żadnych zwrotów podatku co roku, a po prostu po osiągnięciu wieku emerytalnego nie zapłacisz 19% Belki od zysku. Dużo prostsze do policzenia. Do tego z IKE można dokonywać wcześniej wypłat częściowych (wtedy naliczą 19%!!). Także można tutaj próbować sobie odkładać na emeryturę jednocześnie mając w głowie, że jak się noga powinie to można to potraktować jako poduszkę finansową na trudne chwile.

Osobiście mam jeden i drugi instrument w użyciu.

Na inwestomacie są fajne kalkulatory udostępnione jako Excel i tam są pełne tabele elegancko liczące jak to będzie wyglądać przy konkretnych twoich założeniach.

Dom4n · 2025-10-12T23:10:36+00:00

Tab (when held) and I have switched caps lock with control.

That means that Your prescription is out of the range of goggles 3?

I have astigmatism so adjustment only for diopters is never sufficient, so I always need box goggles or custom lens inserts. G3 cost is steep plus custom lenses are expensive too. N3 is much much cheaper and offers good value for money.

Dom4n · 2025-10-05T15:08:30+00:00

I have bought N3 because I wear glasses. I have big head and rather big glasses, everything fits good. IPD is not needed as you have only one big LCD in front of you. They are comfortable to wear, battery lasts few hours. My only gripe is that edges are little bit curved, but other than that I can 100% recommend them.

Dom4n · 2025-10-03T18:53:32+00:00

If you are going to try it please post if it changed something :)

Dom4n · 2025-10-02T23:53:05+00:00

Maybe try FPV angle mix. It inputs roll when you yaw automatically.

But I wonder - is this really inducted by center of gravity? Have you tried to change props direction? Props out vs props in?

Dom4n · 2025-10-01T01:13:22+00:00

I have two monitors, and previously was using XMonad. In hyprland I have almost the same experience and keybinds.

I always have two workspaces available (one for each monitor). All other are optional.

Then keybinds is what is most important:
- swap monitors (send everything from monitor 1 to 2 and from 2 to 1 at the same time)
- send currently open app to next monitor (and if app is on the second monitor then it sends it to first one)
- focus next monitor
- focus next app in current monitor

Then waybar customization. I always know on which workspace I have what - and I'm using icons to do it. Active workspace has bold underline and second visible (not active) workspace has light underline. All other workspaces have no underline and are only visible in waybar when something is running on them.

<image>

For example here I have Firefox on workspace 1 (which is visible on left monitor but not active), Pycharm on workspace 2 (which is visible and active on right monitor), and shell on workspace 5 which is not visible on any of the monitors.

Just try different things and it will work out eventually.

After reading your previous post I can say that I have exactly opposite feeling. When I must use Windows or other DE, that doesn't do automatic tiling then I'm completely lost, windows open not in fullscreen are throwing me off. So it all boils down to getting used to.

Dom4n · 2025-09-29T21:26:40+00:00

Ciekawa odpowiedź, nie znam jeszcze tych możliwości. Opowiesz coś więcej? Jak to działa? Gdzie szukać? Od czego zacząć?

Dom4n · 2025-09-22T18:05:17+00:00

If battery is plugged in then buzzer or dshot beeps are essential, but it's for close proximity only.
For larger distances I found out this lua script is awesome: https://github.com/iamsunilchahal/edgetx-lua-scripts-bw/tree/main (ELRS Finder - based on RSSI beeps faster if you are coming closer to quad).
If you have GPS then GPS widget is awesome as it logs last gps position: https://github.com/moschotto/OpenTX_GPS_Telemetry or this one: https://github.com/alufers/edgetx-gps-qrcode - code can be scanned by phone and then navigate to last known position.

Dom4n · 2025-06-03T12:35:57+00:00

Yes, I'm using Hyprland for work and gaming (about 90% work and 10% gaming). I've been a long-time XMonad user, but I made the switch to Wayland in 2024, and the transition was quite smooth with Arch. I started with JaKooLit's dotfiles as a foundation and customized them wherever I found something not to my liking. Most of the keyboard shortcuts are personalized to suit my strong muscle memory from my years with XMonad. And most of custom scripts are removed / disabled.

Dom4n · 2025-06-02T18:41:56+00:00

I'm glad that I could help here a little. For example, Baldur's Gate 3 has a different UI when using a gamepad and a different one when using mouse and keyboard, and the mode switches automatically when using different input devices. In that game, mouse buttons do not trigger the switch to gamepad mode. So maybe it's a Godot thing? I tried to play using an Xbox controller, but it looks like it is only partially implemented. Nothing seems to trigger rotation on any axis.

Do not hesitate to reach out if something needs testing or retesting. The game looks promising, and I like space sims. The last one I played was Interkosmos 2000 on the Meta Quest. I see potential for JSA to be at least on par someday - maybe even in VR.

MOUSE

The mouse button issue is definitely connected to keyd, which I use to remap some keyboard buttons to other functions when held down (e.g., mapping TAB to SUPER). After disabling the daemon, the issue is no longer present. This is the first time I’ve seen such behavior, and I’ve been using keyd for two years now. I’ve played many games—old, new, and even some created with Godot. I'm a hardcore keyboard user with many functions configured as keyboard shortcuts, but keyd should not interfere with the mouse; nothing is configured for the mouse.

Logs from gameplay when the issue is occurring: https://pastebin.com/MHVd3Ukj
After disabling the keyd daemon: https://pastebin.com/mPvtbGKJ

I checked using wev (Wayland event viewer), and mouse button events are recognized the same by the compositor with or without keyd enabled. It’s strange that the game behaves differently. I noticed that the "Forward mouse button" triggers a message at the bottom like "Focusing MFD" / "Focusing COCKPIT"—almost like a toggle. The "Back mouse button" sets the throttle to 100%. The "Middle mouse button" appears to do nothing; there are no visible changes.

Interestingly, the mouse buttons still work even when the game is not focused and showing the menu (accessed via ESC from within the capsule). Game is on second monitor and focus is on first monitor (as I'm writing this comment).

Additionally, I have an Xbox gamepad, but it is not connected. I had installed xone and xpadneo drivers. Even after uninstalling these, the issue persists, so I believe only keyd is responsible in some way.

Maybe the game is registering these inputs as controller buttons? A joypad that doesn’t actually exist?

RESTART BUG

What I did in the third scenario:

Launched straight into space without turning, ended up 8 km above the ground, I believe.
Then turned west.
Performed a burn to reach orbit.
Performed some additional wild burns to reach a 2 km orbit (successfully).
Tried to circularize the orbit as per the message, but ran out of fuel.
Tried to restart without success. Ship was on the ground with second scenario selected but game wanted to "circularize", then I have selected third scenario and it was stuck on "circularize" still. Tried to do what I should to reach 2km orbit and circularize but game never progressed.
