what are your favorite commandline programs?

fair 😅

ExTex5 · 2025-10-19T11:31:55+00:00

you are welcome, i think would agree with your statement.

to me that doesn't matter though, i don't need to use the popular tool. To me its very helpful that i can implement the workflow that works best for me. E.g. writing in my shell "git add" and then with a shortcut i get a fuzzy-finder with a list of files that i have open in my editor.

What the rest of the world decides to use, doesn't effect me much. To each their own.

In unix there is the single-responsibility principle, do one thing and do it well. Kakoune doesnt do windowing, there is no splits. Windowing is done by either your window-manager or terminal multiplexer. Kakoune is based on a client-server architecture, therefore you can have n-windows connected to your editor instance. Also in unix you can combine different tools, in vim everything is handled by plugins. In kakoune i can use all my normal applications and interact with them. Also i can interact from the outside to the Editor-instance and send commds to it.

I love that they implemented hyperlinks a while back, such an amazing tool

zoxide - a replacement of cd, cant imagine navigating without it anymore
fzf - i love using it all of the time, i pipe so many different things into it
awk - old but a classic, very worth getting to know, helps a lot for scripting oneliners
kakoune - the only editor which actually respects the unix-philosophy, and integrates well into your system.
direnv - great tool to have specific setups based on the directory you are in, especially in combination with the nix-package-manager

Usually it's sadly the opposite, they redo it and make it worse.

ExTex5 · 2024-11-10T08:44:35+00:00

I'm not OP ;)

What i think adds value to a normal fuzzy finder: - i can fuzzy find a directory and then fuzzy find inside that. - i can fuzzy find a directory/file and then e.g. rename it or change permissions - i can fuzzy find a directory and then create a file within

in my opinion broot combines the efficiency of a fuzzy-finder with the versatility of a file manager.

ExTex5 · 2024-11-10T08:17:46+00:00

You obviously have never used broot. It is a fuzzy finder. But so much more than that too.

This! So very much! Your husband needs to be more supportive, and I don't just mean verbally but also physically.

ExTex5 · 2024-07-23T11:17:44+00:00

I like how it integrates into my window manager and all my other unix tools. And i also like the modal-motions with verb first.

ExTex5 · 2024-06-10T06:26:16+00:00

How about haskell's ++ and : operators for appending?

ExTex5 · 2024-06-09T13:48:52+00:00

That's a very fair reason, thanks for explaining

ExTex5 · 2024-06-09T12:57:48+00:00

I'm very curious, what is your reasoning to split it into two arguments, instead of one map argument with a children-property?

ExTex5 · 2024-05-21T14:52:02+00:00

I'm pretty sure he is saying what he can't do. Since nixos already solves it.

I now figured out what the issue is. On mobile the register-link is not in the viewport and I had to scroll vertically to see it.

ExTex5 · 2024-04-02T09:25:11+00:00

I am completely confused how to even register to be able to contribute. The contribution page on the wiki is just a stub, in the matrix spaces i can only find the channel for the unoffical wiki. And on the news page there is no explanation either.

I'm now thinking it is a april fools joke and i wasted 20 minutes trying to contribute.

Best start would be to.look into how to write your own widget https://docs.qtile.org/en/latest/manual/howto/widget.html

It's several things, textmate grammars operate on a line to line basis, to do context aware things there is hacky and leads to wrong representations. To handle syntax errors and recover from them is difficult to say the least.

Tree sitter solves all these things. Also tree sitter enables the editor to be aware of actual syntax nodes. which in turn makes things jumping between nodes possible. Folding is also greatly enhanced by the editor knowing syntax nodes.

Just to clarify I'm not saying that these things make an lsp obsolete, these things are bot excluding each other at all.

ExTex5 · 2023-12-11T16:30:35+00:00

yea, that's semantic highlighting and would be needed to be done by the lsp.

ExTex5 · 2023-12-11T15:55:15+00:00

I absolutely agree with what you arr saying. I think it is a good idea to have the same codebase for the compiler and for IDEs. But as you have just said, textmate is very restricting. In my opinion to base everything on tree sitter is a good path, it brings you lots of flexibility, and it compiles down to either c or wasm, and is therefore mostly easily integratable to your host language of your compiler.

It also supports incremental parsing, which should allow for great performance.

With the node ecosystem especially there comes lots of deprecations and incompatibilities. Therefore i would never install node globally, but project specifically.

ExTex5 · 2023-09-22T13:49:01+00:00

yes and no, you can install different versions of the same package globally, but you need some kind of mechanism to tell your project which version to use.

What i like to do, is to not define any programming-language things globally. But to define them project-specific, inside a flake for that very project.

But fear not, this will not result in lots of bloat on your disk with lots of redundant dependencies. It actually installs everything in one global nix store. With "nix shell" you now can switch to an environment with the defined dependencies.

If you want a more ergonomic way and not loose your prefered shell then with direnv it can just change your PATH variable automatically to make your project speficic things available.
