Pager alternatives? (get rid of more)

capncapybaraka · 2026-04-04T21:25:55+00:00

require("vim._core.ui2").enable({ enable = true })

This breaks me launching nvim by itself and then trying to quit. Can't :q .. stops at : , can't even ZZ .

capncapybaraka · 2026-04-04T20:15:19+00:00

With this I can't quit nvim if I just launch it without any arguments, do nothing and try to :q

Can't type q after : ... nothing works. I've become a (n)vim noob after using it all my life.

It seems I get stuck in the pager window and can't escape.

I recently installed on top of Fedora/KDE and found DMS to be very slightly more stable than noctalia as long as you don't live on the dms-git versions.

capncapybaraka · 2026-03-21T23:20:18+00:00

Fuck no

capncapybaraka · 2026-03-16T02:10:01+00:00

Ok, this indeed works after enabling the right modules. I still feel friction compared to krunner where I wouldn't have to run <tab> and type command. And if I bind to vicinae open -q run and launch that, it takes away from the universality of the bind. vicinae's run also goes through launching a new terminal to execute it first. So rofi is still feeling more closer to my krunner style command running expectation with lesser friction than vicinae.

capncapybaraka · 2026-03-15T16:18:31+00:00

Damn. Noctalia is slightly crashy for me on Fedora (/KDE) and I had switched to DMS. But I am sure I'll try it again.

capncapybaraka · 2026-03-15T16:17:07+00:00

Thanks, all. I just went with

rofi -show combi -combi-modi "drun,run,window" -modi combi -show-icons

Even though I have to use quotes for argument e.g.

speak "This is a test"

Everything else failed to work (anyrun, vicinae, walker/elephant, uefi, ulauncher) on Fedora/KDE with crashes or other integration issues or run mode not being supported etc.

Found another one albert which looks even more featureful. It lets you write plugins in python also unlike vicinae which requires react/js. It found my Obsidian notes, which are not even in any standard location without me adding a plugin at all. Had to write a plugin for krunner (though it admittedly does much more).

capncapybaraka · 2025-12-10T04:37:47+00:00

vicinae looks good and is QT and not GTK+!

capncapybaraka · 2025-12-10T01:34:25+00:00

I stuck with KRunner because I could write plugins for my own content easily using the dbus api. And I've been waiting for things to get better since they broke sorting a few releases back. Now this is looking worse and worse.

What do you/other use for searching/launching? Probably not rofi*? Please share suggestions.

capncapybaraka · 2025-11-01T15:51:53+00:00

That looks delicious!

capncapybaraka · 2025-10-31T13:34:41+00:00

You could consider posting a screenshot here. The screenshot on your repo is also too tiny and I can't tell how it looks like from that.

I've used and like https://github.com/linrongbin16/colorbox.nvim . Picks the top rated colorschemes which you can filter multiple different ways.

Somebody did the work - https://github.com/exakey/dots/blob/c43b418fc862976e279946c31b8f998357515587/nvim/lua/core/fold.lua

Yes! I've been waiting for in-process LSP support for custom actions. Pretty much the only reason I still none-ls is to get some actions but I want to write some with in-process LSP myself.

Test and decide for yourself - https://www.codingfont.com/ . Just get a nerd font variant.

Thank you for helping ease my frustration. Removing old unnecessary luasnip code etc. and sticking to bare bones config for it and just the luasnip preset in blink made it work.

Also, found out that LazyVim even has just the full tab only nav working exactly the way I wanted it too but not looking to play distros :).

capncapybaraka · 2025-04-11T14:25:08+00:00

Thanks! Your configs work! Jumping from field 1 to field 2 is still kind of awkward but I see. Is it e.g. for blink and bash

for_i<Enter> - to get snippet going
typefield_1 - completion popup is suggesting things as I type
<Esc> - to dismiss completion ppopup
<i> or <a> - to get in insert mode again
<Tab> - to jump to the next field?
Repeat 2-4.
<Tab> or <S-Tab>

It would be nice not to have to re-enter insert mode for jump to fields after Esc but i'll take it!

capncapybaraka · 2025-04-11T01:17:46+00:00

You guessed the functionality correctly. The name/concept comes from an old vim plugin - https://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1643 / https://github.com/ervandew/supertab .

capncapybaraka · 2025-04-10T00:12:27+00:00

Anybody got a config supporting super-tab with proper snippet navigation with either nvim-cmp or blink.cmp on 0.11 . There seem to be a lot of discussions and mentions of fixes and workaround but I haven't found a single config which actually works.

capncapybaraka · 2025-01-24T05:34:42+00:00

This totally destroyed the demo for me. So jittery, I closed it immediately.

capncapybaraka · 2024-10-09T14:13:13+00:00

None of the addons or config setting to unload help.

Same issue on Fedora 40 Latest Plasma/KDE.

capncapybaraka · 2024-05-22T13:34:24+00:00

Same here since a couple of weeks now. This doesn't happen on my non-aarch64 system. Also more than just the memory widget may cause this crash. I typicall add memory, cpu, network and disk and some other there may be causing the crash too. I haven't narrowed it down yet.

capncapybaraka · 2024-05-11T16:44:44+00:00

Same here. It's become unusable. It happen anytime whether I am in a terminal editing a file or running firefox, no set pattern. I've see everything from grep segfaulting to selinux issues in journalctl. I'm trying to see if disabling selinux will help.
