I find it useful to be able to edit files using my regular editor after I break X, or if I don't feel like starting it up. I like curses stuff even in X because it is nice to open up an editor and have it tempoarily reuse the terminal window without spawning another and thrashing my layout. Further

Under what circumstance would you not be able to run sam's gui and have to resort to a curses interface? sam already provides a way to connect the gui to a remote host via ssh to edit files over a slow connection. I've even done this with an old Windows port of sam running locally and a remote

Hi gang, So, for the past month or so I've had the idea floating around in my head that it'd be really nice to be able to send HTML from a browser through any program, and load the output. That way you aren't restricted to javascript for changing a page, and lots of interesting possibilities a

Well, maybe not libdeps in stali, but surely bindeps, dwm depends optionally on dmenu, mutt in vim, etc.. Some of them are optional, and other ones are mandatory. I would call them roles or metapkgs. Adding and removing lines in files surely sucks in automatic scripts because if u modify t

[dev] dmenu: state of the tip

2010-08-02 Thread Connor Lane Smith
As of my latest commit dmenu tip is a third smaller than 4.1.1, because of both libdraw and my zealous hammering of the 'd' key. But while restructuring I may have overlooked some subtlety and broken something, so before we consider releasing 4.2 I'd like to have a little bug hunt. If anyone can fi
