☝️ 🤓 If by master/slave you mean “A system in which the master node is responsible to do everything a slave does plus coordinate slaves”
and by client/server you mean “A system in which a server is responsible only for coordinating clients”.
I don’t think so, because the first window is not special, it just spawns a server if none is assigned.
Long-ish time Kakoune user here.
For those who have tried Kakoune, once you’ve included things like Treesitter and the clangd language server, which one feels faster, Kakoune or Neovim?
I never felt the need to install something like Treesitter because I feel selection-based editing is already powerful enough, if that gives you an idea of how much faster I am with Kakoune compared to Neovim. Maybe I just don’t know everything Treesitter can do 🤔
which apparently allows you to have one master Kakoune instance and multiple slave instances that would be in sync
It’s not a master/slave setup, it really is client/server, even the first instance of kakoune that you open will be a client that you can close without the other instances going down with it.
I’m not sure if Kakoune shares the clipboard with all of those instances?
Yup, all shared: registers, buffers, marks, hooks. (You can choose not to share stuff between clients)
~/.config/mimeapps.list contains a line “terminal=foot.desktop” (tried also without .desktop).
I don’t think that is a real option.
There is no standard way to set the default terminal emulator, you need to tell your launcher application(sometimes through your DE settings) to use that terminal.
For example, j4-dmenu-desktop has the option --term.
As a file managers I use lf and nnn, they both contain .desktop-files but I can’t launch them with keybinds or menu launcher. Same applies to vim.desktop, nothing happens.
How are you launching these programs? For keyboard shortcuts you generally need to specifically run the terminal emulator together with the program: bindsym Mod4+Return exec alacritty -e hollywood
Edit. I managed to find a workaround for lf and nnn by editing the Exec= line in /usr/share/applications/*.desktop file. (Exec=/usr/bin/foot -e nnn) but I still can’t figure the swayimg imageviewer.
I would advise you to copy those files to ~/.local/share/applications so they do not get overwritten during updates.
Maybe your .bashrc has some logic that conditionally modifies your environment when run in a interactive terminal?
What does GTFO mean in this context exactly?
On gnome super+left click allows you to move windows, by default.
You can also enable super+right click to resize with gnome tweaks. In my opinion this should be the default.
