Prince Lucija<p>ok, so it seems that in i3 somehow scrot does not quite work well with symbind... so another tool (maybe more 'modern') is <code>maim</code> (apt install it: <code>apt install maim</code>).</p><p>so <code>~/.config/i3/config</code> should have something like</p><p><code>bindsym $super+p exec maim -s -u | xclip -selection clipboard -t image/png -i</code></p><p><a href="https://0x.trans.fail/tags/i3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>i3</span></a> <a href="https://0x.trans.fail/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://0x.trans.fail/tags/windowmanagers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windowManagers</span></a> <a href="https://0x.trans.fail/tags/clitricks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CLITricks</span></a></p>
0xC0DEC0DE07E9<p>Historically, I’ve been a big fan of tiled window managers. I used ion and ion2 for ages, I mostly work in terminal with `tmux` which feels pretty similar.<br>That said, I tried sway and didn’t feel like it wasn’t a necessity. Windows and GNOME shell both support window snapping with Super+arrows, and that’s basically all I need. Obviously, you can like sway or tiled window managers still, this is just the half-formed opinion of one middle-aged nerd.<br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/sway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sway</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WindowManagers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WindowManagers</span></a></p>

Because on <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/x11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>x11</span></a> we have a plethora of decent window managers, and toolkits, most of which won't ever see the light of day any more. Sure, they can live on through <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wayland</span></a>, but that limits what you'll be able run under that window manager. I think this is <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wayland</span></a>'s biggest downside -- we're all being funneled through one or two desktop environments. This is going to suck from a UI perspective, IMO.</p><p>I've given this a lot of thought, and I think I want to put myself forward to formally maintain <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xorg</span></a>. I realise what I'm saying -- and I must be absolutely f***ing crazy, but I think it's the only way if I'm to keep a certain ecosystem alive.</p><p>So... I guess I need to start having conversations with folk over at <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/xorg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xorg</span></a> -- sooner rather than later.</p><p>If anyone here can help facilitate that in some formal capacity, that would help.</p><p>I'm very serious about this as well -- but before I look at writing features or anything else, I first need to understand the stupidi^H^H^Hmagnitude of this, and see how I go.</p><p>But I'm putting myself forward to do this.</p>
