05:42:19 <abhixec> what file managers do people use on xmonad? I am looking for a feature rich but more standalone one(by which I mean it shouldn't pull gnome/kde dependencies )
06:11:32 <curiousgay> abhixec: if you care about not depending on gtk and qt at all, you can find the list of file managers here https://suckless.org/rocks/ and here https://wiki.tcl-lang.org/page/file+manager
06:11:50 <curiousgay> ignore everything under "non-tcl file managers"
06:16:35 <curiousgay> I can also recommend you acme from plan9port, but to handle different file types you need to configure the program plumb which also comes with plan9port
06:18:00 <curiousgay> if you want GUI file manager, ignore everything suckless.org recommends and simply use something written in tcl/tk
06:18:50 curiousgay hates ncurses
07:06:00 <Solid> abhixec: I use dired :>

11:35:18 desantra joins (~skykanin@user/skykanin)
11:37:34 <desantra> I have this issue with firefox-devedition where sometimes when switching between workspaces my firefox window will dissapear as in it goes completely transparent and I can't interact with it, but the process is still running because if I happen to be playing a YT vid when this happens I can still hear the sound and the only solution I've found is to kill firefox and restart it. Anyone know what
11:37:36 <desantra> causes this?

13:48:40 <Solid> desantra: could be a compositor issue?
14:21:28 <desantra> Solid: this is what I'm thinking as well
14:22:00 <desantra> I'll add firefox to the exclusion list cause I'm doing some opacity stuff in picom

16:48:39 <abhixec> Solid: I use emacs but never really got into getting too deep probably time to try dired.
16:49:02 <Solid> excellent :)
17:04:55 <abhixec> is there a way/layout to just open applications veritcally
17:09:10 <noex> anyone know why qutebrowser would start on top of xmobar every time? i wish it wouldn't
17:09:33 <noex> i have to togglestruts every time to get it back
17:10:51 <Vermoot> abhixec, I think you can do that with Column or BinaryColumn, by just adding Mirror in front of it
17:10:54 <noex> guess i could probably fix it with the managehook, but i wasn't sure if it was an obvious setting
17:15:12 <abhixec> Thanks Vermoot
17:18:06 vojjvoda[m] uploaded an image: < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/uOZEvNiAlSnSadVTlcCoZKSv/Screenshot_2021-11-28-37_722x550.png >
17:18:30 <vojjvoda[m]> So, I have yet again set these variables and they do not change a thing

17:36:13 × seschwar quits (~seschwar@user/seschwar) (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)
17:37:33 <Solid> these are not the correct env variables
17:38:13 seschwar joins (~seschwar@user/seschwar)
17:39:11 <Solid> they are called XMONAD_DATA_DIR, XMONAD_CONFIG_DIR, and XMONAD_CACHE_DIR

18:36:36 <noex> pasting is really awkward on the kinesis advantage, i was trying to remap home to be a "paste" button but it doesn't seem to work. i just mapped it to "spawn xclip -o" which does output my clipboard, but spawning must obviously not just dump stdout to the focused window
18:37:34 seschwar joins (~seschwar@user/seschwar)
18:40:50 <Solid> you can use xdotool to send a S-<insert>
18:41:08 <Solid> (wich `xdotool key Shift+Insert`)
18:41:12 <Solid> s/wich/with/
18:41:34 <noex> Solid: nice, that's perfect :)
18:47:12 × seschwar quits (~seschwar@user/seschwar) (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
18:48:48 seschwar joins (~seschwar@user/seschwar)
18:49:51 <noex> Solid: can I use spawn to run that? strangely still does not seem to work. i'm not sure why.
18:53:15 <geekosaur> XMonad.Util.Ungrab
18:53:47 <geekosaur> it's launching while xmonad is still holding the keyboard grab, so probably the key is sent to xmonad
18:54:20 <noex> ah that makes sense
18:55:03 <noex> not sure if xmodmap or xbindkeys is a more idiomatic way to accomplish this
18:56:03 dschrempf joins (~dominik@070-207.dynamic.dsl.fonira.net)
18:56:16 <noex> it probably is now that i think about it.
18:57:18 <noex> start using a hammer and everything looks like a nail

19:01:02 seschwar joins (~seschwar@user/seschwar)
19:13:45 <noex> one thing i have wondered recently is, if you have a grid of windows open, is it possible to have xmonad cycle them in a clockwise/counterclockwise fashion? it may be just my config also, but it seems to cut across in a rather...less than predictable way when I cycle windows. reading the docs lately, I am wondering if this is possible. i believe it just cycles through the "stack" of windows with no
19:13:47 <noex> regard or real knowledge of their physical position on the screen...i could be wrong though.
19:14:02 × seschwar quits (~seschwar@user/seschwar) (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
19:14:51 <geekosaur> you are correct. X.A.WindowNavigation might be of interest, however
19:14:52 <vrs> I'm pretty sure that you can do this but I know of no layouts that do it
19:15:34 <vrs> yeah WindowNavigation was what I was going to link, I use it on my workstation with the big screens and many terminals https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Layout-WindowNavigation.html
19:15:45 <geekosaur> oh sorry, L not A
19:16:02 <geekosaur> (I need to restart my browser, it's hanging on github again :(
19:17:59 <noex> looks like i could probably write a function with this to accomplish what I want. doesn't sound trivial though. especially with my knowledge (or lack thereof) of haskell
19:18:07 × geekosaur quits (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur) (Remote host closed the connection)
19:18:39 <noex> i guess for clockwise, down becomes left if there is no window below
19:18:42 <noex> etc
19:19:48 geekosaur joins (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur)
19:20:44 <noex> vrs: if you try to go down and there's nowhere to go in the down direction, i assume it just does nothing?
19:21:04 <vrs> it wraps around
19:21:19 <noex> hmm
19:22:19 × catman quits (~catman@user/catman) (Quit: WeeChat 3.4-dev)
19:22:51 <noex> maybe it's time to bite the bullet and finally learn haskell then

22:01:09 catman joins (~catman@user/catman)
22:06:39 <geekosaur> I feel like I was the one who misled you on that at some point
22:07:10 <geekosaur> because I recall giving someone those, because I had briefly confused the proper paths with ancient CDE paths :(
