As someone else said, setting less’ jump value is helpful.

Another tool I use, mostly for the zshall manpage, is https://github.com/kristopolous/mansnip

mpv+uosc is my jam these days.

No, that’s not used by Zsh.

Glad you have it working. This may also work:

_stfu () {
  shift words
  (( CURRENT-=1 ))
  _normal -P
}
compdef _stfu stfu

FWIW I’ve read an Arch dev complain that folks using any 3rd party installer are not in fact “running Arch” and should not claim to be doing so.

The window shade problem is keeping me from Wayland. AFAIU there’s currently no commitment to ever fix it on Wayland, it’s only a maybe.

For anyone interested, it’s being tracked here.

So . . . not relevant to my comment?

By default you can use left and right bracket keys [] to adjust speed, and it should do adjustments to make the pitch sound the same.

To adjust the pitch alone, you can have something like this in your input.conf, customized as you like:

ALT+p af toggle @rb
ALT+UP af-command rb multiply-pitch 1.25
ALT+DOWN af-command rb multiply-pitch 0.8
ALT+LEFT af-command rb set-pitch 1.0

I haven’t looked at this in a long time. If you always need this there’s likely a conf option to always enable the “rubber band” (@rb) filter. And maybe other commands than multiply that would be better.

EDIT: Sorry, I don’t have this quite right. Maybe someone can correct me.

OK, I see some differences between your two screenshots, but what’s the relevance to my comment?

I don’t know what I should be noticing there. I can’t see any text for the tool buttons along the left edge of the window.

I have trouble with both, but more experience with GIMP. I can’t stand all the little tool buttons with no text. I want the name of each tool always visible on its button.

I have the same problem with Inkscape.

It’s more about replacing typed text than using shortcuts, but there’s espanso.

Ok next time I won’t use your computer.

I’ll just second the suggestion that KDE Plasma is worth a try, as it’s very adaptable once you know what you want. You don’t need to install any addons for the functionality you describe, just open the Shortcuts settings, KWin category, and have at it.

Ooh I haven’t seen this one. Anyone have a comment on this vs the KleverNotes project? I think that’s the name.

The Power and Battery widget now responds to middle-clicks and scrolls: middle-click will block or re-enable automatic sleep and screen locking, and scrolling will change the active power profile

Scrolling on the battery applet is how I adjust my brightness. Is that no longer a thing?

Have you checked the system settings page that includes compositor stuff?

I love Arch but you may also be interested to try Siduction for similar benefits with less change from what you know (it’s still Debian).

Yeah, since broot is a full featured file navigator and operator, you can get anywhere once it’s launched. I have alt+up bound to go up a directory, but there are other ways to get around as well.

Broot supports fish out of the box, and you can use its default fish launcher function to change your folder (alt+enter quits broot then performs a cd) or insert a path (the broot command pp quits broot then prints the path, like fzf).

I never learned fish scripting, but if anyone here has they may try to port my Zsh functions, especially to get path completion for partially typed paths. If you’re doing that and have questions about the broot config side of the equation, I’m happy to try to help.

FWIW broot is a great fuzzy finding file tree tool that can be used similarly (much better for the task IMO), with a little configuration.
