It appears that it's innocent to my pulseaudio issue. I hope moving
PulseEffects on top will help with other issues I was having with it, as
it probably doesn't make much sense to start it last if there are apps
like GRadio starting before it.
Please don't tell anyone that I had to give up to its worst UI and
missing tray icon support without this flag and it's easier to put it to
autostart than start thinking about keybinding or similar for it.
1. I have disabled privacy.resistfingerprinting due to other breakage
(possibly TTS, captchas) and being able to use other languages than
English and thus indicate that they have users.
2. I always unfloated Firefox anyway :/
I thested this earlier and am committing it in case I encounter Zaldaryn
sooner than anticipated and forget to copy the change and then start
doing conflicting changes there.
Is it going to be in tray kindly or will I distract myself by starting
to click and read on it? It's the only autostarting app that I cannot
configure to hide or be more unsuitable for bigger chats.
It turns out that having apps full of distractions starting
automatically is not good for focusing. This leaves three instant
messengers:
* Wire - family and other small groups
* Signal - some friends, unsuitable for large groups
* Gajim - polycule and small friend groups visibly autojoined,
everything else joined as minimized so it doesn't distract me unless
something notifies me
Maybe three electrons not working with hibernate is another reason for
it to go out of fashion, I wonder if I should also add warning to myself
about quitting all electrons before either operation.
When I previously tried them, Snap worked better and Flatpak was
misbehaving, but now the situation seems to have turned around with Snap
unable to use some features such as tray icons (which is attributed to
an uptream issue with Electron builder).
* expected packages now also contains keybase
* Keybase's tray popup is now floating
* autostarting Flatpaks are separated from normal apps and below them
* Gajim has --quiet, even if it probably doesn't affect anything here
I seem to be unable to find happiness with default and often after
opening multiple windows my first thing to do is moving to stacked or
tabbed layout. Stacked layout seems easier to split than windowed which
is still easy to reach and centerized titles probably benefit windowed
layout the most.
The compton example makes everything transparent and is horrible.
xfce4-terminal does the same things I had urxvt do and works with emojis
that were my problem with urxvt and even does copy-pasting with
Ctrl-Shift-C/V which terminology for some reason failed to do and is
probably even lighter.
I also disliked the idea of having to change the story of what is my
preferred terminal emulator everywhere, so now there is a single
variable which I can throw around as I need.
As I started using emojis also in some config files (i3status), I
started looking for a fix to my urxvt emoji problem and there was one
workaround which would have turned it very bad looking and suggestion to
use another terminal.
I looked at lists and decided to try terminology, even if this is too
fancy/flashy for my taste, but it doesn't have a visible menubar to
annoy me and the long pressing right click menu feeled intuitive, so I
guess I will be using this as I always install many heavy thigns anyway
(I haven't checked resource usage). And most importantly the emojis
work.
With the right click menu, I got this to look how I want within a minute
without learning yet another Xresources file.
When I login and attempt to use dmenu, it will take a moment before that
is possible and I thought that having it load before I try to use it
would be nice. Then I found an issue about it and PR that closed it, but
didn't notice the commit is not in any released version so I typed this
in advance.
Firefox is going to annoy me by not floating sooner or later, so I think
it's better to float it and keep using it as the only thing in one
workspace.
* pgup/down navigation for workspaces, I may not use them, but I was
playing around
* add a lot of comments
* read the fine manual of i3lock, enable cursor that I often use to
check the device is alive, turn both backgrounds black and enable
showing of failed login attempts
* disable notify-send:ing volume changes when media keys are used as
pasystray does that by itself
* unfloat Firefox for now, even if I will likely need to float it again
when I attempt to use it on Zaldaryn.
Tor Browser requires floating even more than Firefox as there
privacy.resistfingerprinting is enabled by default and it warns you if
your window is bigger than it sets as that can be used for
fingerprinting.
I removed Galculator keybind accidentally in commit
a78dcdf452 and I have picked it, because
it's the default calculator app in MATE.
Adjusted from Jens Erat from
https://faq.i3wm.org/question/125/how-to-change-the-systems-volume.1.html
According to a comment this only works when something is playing, but I
think that is the only case when I need volume keys and is improvement
over it stopping working with volume devices changing. The proposed
cutting running again resulted to three devices being listed and thus
doesn't work.
I also have the volumeicon which I can use to adjust volume if I really
need to while there is nothing playing.
* remove some comments
* add Microsoft Corp. Wired Keyboard 600 (model 1576) keybinds for keys
I recognised and may use. Closes#98
* added keyboard layout setting to autostart
* set wallpaper to solid black
