16:01:24 <Bayes> so I want a decent way to type UTF8 greek and other math related symbols
16:02:29 <Bayes> I started searching for "linux compose key", which took me to xmodmap which seems to be sort of old/deprecated and took me to xbd, and then I just threw in the "kmonad" keyword for fun
16:02:44 <Bayes> naturally I'm confused AF I don't know really what I'm looking for ^_^
16:02:53 <Bayes> kmonad the type of thing I want for my use case?
16:59:02 <Tisoxin> Well, it depends
16:59:13 <Tisoxin> kmonad as not really good unicode support
16:59:21 <Tisoxin> s/as/has/
16:59:32 <Tisoxin> Though xkb is really annoying to configure
17:00:04 <Tisoxin> and i can't say anything about xmodmap, since i've never used it
17:01:53 <Tisoxin> If a already exitsing layout is fine with you, I'd recommend neo-qwertz from the neo family (neo-layout.org) or 3l-symbols (https://sr.ht/~talos/threelayout-symbols/)
17:02:13 <Tisoxin> (neo-qwertz is made for german, 3l-symbols for english)
17:09:34 <Bayes> Tisoxin yeah any existing layout is more than fine
17:11:00 <Bayes> https://github.com/jackrosenthal/threelayout
17:11:38 <Bayes> I don't really see myself switching from QWERTY to anything else for typing, but if it has querty-like math symbols I'm fine
17:11:51 <Bayes> things like something + a = alpha, something + b = beta, etc
17:15:05 <Bayes> https://github.com/SV-97/Math-Layout this one looks interesting
17:33:28 <GavinFreeborn[m]> What are people's thoughts on kmonad coming closer to a more general language? I'd be interested in integrating shell commands with in a keypress to display the current layer every time it changes. Maybe adding a hook like feature.
19:33:13 <Tisoxin> Bayes: Oh, I wasn't aware, that 3l-symbols doesn't have the 4-th, 5-th and 6-th layer of neo
19:34:11 <Bayes> Tisoxin no worries tho, from here it seems that getting a custom xbd shouldn't be that hard https://github.com/SV-97/Math-Layout/blob/master/gm
19:35:17 <Tisoxin> iirc sb made a neo-qwerty layout on #neo:libera.chat
19:35:34 <Solid> GavinFreeborn[m]: you can already execute shell commands on a keypress with `cmd-button'
19:36:07 <Bayes> will check it out Tisoxin thanks for the tip
19:43:11 <Tisoxin> Bayes: apperently neo-qwerty is already in xkb:https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/blob/master/symbols/de#L1181
