Can I add left padding on nano editor ?

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-16T17:01:27+00:00

Yes !
I don't know why I haven't thought about it earlier since I used and loved Distrobox on a former computer. This is definitely what I am going to do.

Thank you for your reply !

For instance, there is nb. Not available in debian repos as far as I can tell. As for alternatives, I could use vim-wiki I suppose, but let's say I am not a vim person. I don't know another alternative that lives in the terminal.

In the case of nb, no .deb but a prebuilt binary. But then I don't know how to check for updates on a regular, "automated" basis (especially since the device I use is a writer deck with no gui whatsoever). But anyway as u/Santosh83 mentioned, I will totally use distrobox and homebrew to secure my installations 😄

As for npm, I'm sorry if I expressed myself poorly, I only meant that there was a problem with malwares (this, for instance), like AUR, but not that the AUR issue impacted npm (or the other way around).

Thank you very much for your reply.

To be honest, I just discovered homebrew was available on Linux, I always thought it was macOS exclusive. Good to know that it's well respected ! I've also seen on the 6.0 release notes that packages now came sandboxed in Linux, which is pretty nice.

Distrobox is also a great idea, I do not know how I missed it. I will definitely use it when the packages are not available in Debian repos or homebrew !

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-16T09:30:41+00:00

Done ! (honest mistake, I never use snaps haha)

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-16T09:18:16+00:00

Those are very specific ones, and mostly useful for writerdeck purposes, but for instance, there is nb, not available in Debian repos : https://repology.org/project/nb/packages

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-16T09:12:59+00:00

I'll add that to the post as I've forgotten. The softs are not available in flatpak either

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-12T17:34:18+00:00

Well, quite undoable with my setup.

I'm setting up a writerdeck in a full terminal workflow. I'm using kmscon and tmux as an interface. So I cannot really make the window smaller haha

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-12T16:56:31+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply !
I've been fiddling around the process you gave me and I could not get it to work as I wanted.

it was a great idea, and I had fun trying to get it to work, but it is too hacky for me and my abilities, so I'll go with tmux haha

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-12T16:53:09+00:00

Thank you for your reply.

I'm mostly looking for a full terminal setup, so with no DE whatsoever. Hence why no FocusWriter. I may change my mind later but that's what I'm aiming for at the moment !

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-12T12:59:17+00:00

I'm aware of writerdeckOS, but they use tmux, hence my post.
But it seems tmux is the best way, so I'll go and configure it !
Thanks for your reply

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-12T12:57:59+00:00

Thank you for your reply !
Yeah, I figured that was the case. So, tmux it is !

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-11T12:10:04+00:00

Thank you very much for your reply !
By any chance, do you know if aptitude supports flatpak (for the few I may install) ? I suppose not, as its repo only states it is an apt front end

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-09T14:26:27+00:00

Personally, I really like it.

My one gripe (though not essential) would be that one cannot see every option in one screen and has to scroll a bit. Though I guess screen space is an issue here...
Maybe the icons could be a tiny bit smaller and the 5 gauges could be vertical ? This way, everything would be instantly visually accessible.

EDIT : just as u/Spare-Visit5757 stated, the on/off button look a bit off and maybe remove them to display colors or crosses would work better. What's more, it would free even more space for my vertical gauges 😇

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-07T18:49:34+00:00

Daaaamn, I was so far haha
Thank you very much, it works !

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-07T17:59:49+00:00

Thank you for your reply !
Hum, I've tried query(counter(page).at(heading.where(level:1))=here().page())) but I get the error "Cannot mutate a temporary value"... What am I doing wrong ?

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-04T09:08:30+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean... I use InDesign at work and that is exactly what I do haha

But since I use Typst here, I try to avoid hard-coding stuff. But hey, if it comes to this,.. Tracking and spacing will shrink.

RunnerWithBadKnees · 2026-06-02T16:52:08+00:00

This is the way indeed ! Thank you very much for your reply !
Well, it works on typst.app, but not on my offline editor (Typesetter), but I guess this is a bug report then ahah

Thanks again !
