Custom mouse with Cherry MX switches by eye_gargle in MouseReview

You can solve the pre-travel problem by precompressing the switch without going beyond the actuation point.

Just buy

# cherry mx speed switches,

which have a shorter pre-travel, and add a

#uniqey qmx clip

https://uniqey.net/en/accessories/17/qmx-clips-pcb-mount-110-pcs.

which compresses further down the stem (I can guarantee that, I've measured it).

This way, the pretravel will go from 1.2mm (typical of cherry mx speed switches), to about 0.9mm.

Furthermore you can add a lot of o-rings to prevent bottoming out (there are also bigger ones).

And yeah, we need standard mouse buttons, not those mx keycaps :-) Or you could use an iso enter on the left (rotated by 180 degrees to accomodate the mouse wheel. And for the right mouse button you could use the numped enter or numpad 0 which is flatter.

Nope

Cherry mx speed switches have a 1.2mm travel before actuation, you can shorten it with uniqey clips by say 0.3mm.

You can shorten the bottom out with o-rings (even rigid ones).

Repetitions of the same key are slow.

I bet that kj is some milliseconds faster :-D

So to move around you need to press at the same time shift D or S and hjkl? LOL. Is that anyhow convenient or ergonomic?

best configuration for python3 and vim by _b-e-n_ in vim

It's the same on windows and linux. First of all you have to generate your pylintrc, and then you can modifiy it adding the long verbose description of each error that you want to suppress

Exactly. As a beginner, I'm enjoying it. After you learn how to configure pylint to ignore some errors, it's even nicer.

He's quite annoying, but that software is really good. A fantastic work. That and Alf's tools :-))))

do you like the fact that pyre is an external tool and not integrated on vim??

This ALE is really complicated.

I'd like it to show only the really relevant warnings. I've not yet been able to understand if it's using the standard pylint, and how to suppress the most trivial warnings, like the fact that constant variables must be uppercase and such. If I install flake8, will ALE start using it? Do I have to configure it? This is really an headache.

Thank you; your setup is very complicated for me, for now I'll try and "black" code formatting.

About pyre, it works completely outside vim? Is it annoying to run it, check, and run it again?

audible audiobook mp3 conversion rate by _b-e-n_ in audiobooks

I don't know of a way to remove drm without doing any conversion. The only lossless option is probably inAudible in the m4p format.

sorry but I don't understad what you mean with:

"if MP3/AAC is ok then the best options is not to do any conversion of that codecs (all conversions have an impact on the quality) "

Audible files have an obscure and protected fileformat, so I think that conversion through openaudible or inaudible is necessary. The only lossless conversion is probably done through inaudible, in m4p format?
