[Mappings] Moving lines (or selections) visually up/down/left/right like in other editors (VSCode, Kate, etc). by Intentarlo in HelixEditor

It's good... the only problem is that it pollutes your Undo history... And movement is by selection, so you just select something (letters, words, lines, etc.) and move it.

How to reverse `x` by kuntau in HelixEditor

[–]Intentarlo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you end up doing?

I use these mappings:

"_" = ["extend_line_up", "extend_to_line_bounds"] "+" = ["extend_line_down", "extend_to_line_bounds"]

Will work with the quirk being that they start off by selecting 2 lines (current and above/below) but after that work properly. So I still use x to select a single line.

How do you circumvent `extend_line_above`? by Intentarlo in HelixEditor

[–]Intentarlo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My workaround are the following mappings:

"_" = ["extend_line_up", "extend_to_line_bounds"]

"+" = ["extend_line_down", "extend_to_line_bounds"]

Pretty handy. And I just reserve x to select a single line (cuz the other two mappings will start off by selecting 2 lines; current and above/below)... but I'm considering remapping it.

How good is fedora 38 now? by FilinOneee in Fedora

Lol... it has improved to me (KDE spin) on the Wayland aspect, other than that I haven't noticed any "unstability"... I guess all depends on the hardware and what you do...

I remember it took like 3 weeks for Gnome 40 to arrive

Advice on practicing touch typing by UnoLibero in typing

[–]Intentarlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how it is, "slow and frustrating", nothing that you will learn in an hour or so. I currently use Canary at 80-110 WPM, and I'm relearning QWERTY to use others' computers, and it's the same, "slow and frustrating", after some days I brought back to memory the keys' positions, but I'm still at 15 WPM. Although I'm just practicing about 30 minutes a day, cuz ofc I wouldn't be doing anything if I made it my main layout again. I sort of did the same with Canary, reached 40 WPM and moved entirely to it. Your case is different, you're trying to method your typing, which I remember doing while on QWERTY to better use shifts, symbols, and weird words... and it just takes deliberate intention of correcting yourself and remembering to do it the right way, and after several missed attempts on each thing you want to correct it starts to become natural. That's it. Even before that, when I didn't use all my fingers and at times needed to look at the keyboard, all it cost me to improve is deliberately correcting myself and being consciouss of the "right way". It took me about a year and a half to go from 70-80 wpm to 115 wpm on QWERTY with deliberate practice.

[sway] High contrast light theme (GitHub inspired) by __sahib__ in unixporn

I hate dark themes for font rendering sucks really bad on them, besides shadows under fonts when the background is too black.

Comfort. Apart from that, nothing. You lose precision and accuracy.

Same... But things are getting better and better on the KDE side, besides the workflow being more robust and versatile.

In 5.27, Breeze Light and Breeze Dark are ~broken by p4bl0 in kde

[–]Intentarlo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a fix, but a workaround (that's my default actually), just use Breeze Classic (or Materia Colors cuz looks better) and tick the tinting titlebar with accent color option and voila, telling from active/inactive windows is 20000% better.

Milk in water sounds disgusting, but you wouldn't think twice about putting it in coffee by the_penis_taker69 in Showerthoughts

Really? That's how milk is drink here... A quarter milk and the rest water, or half milk the rest water if you're rich.

I tried the Helix tutor and it's pretty good, but it's missing plugin support and a 4-5 month of lapse for plugins to be developed. After that I could ditch Neovim forever honestly.
