I just dislike that apps have different shortcuts between different apps to do the same thing
-
I had someone come over to my house because I was freaking out and I had to tell them the shortcuts to Linux/i3 so they could read my notes and judge on if I was freaking out for a legit or non legit reason
kinda funny
cuz otherwise they are a Windows user and there's no clicky task bar so...
and I'm over there forgetting items in my own hands but at least I remember my i3 shortcuts -
Sorry, but I made cli shortcut tools for everything:
- fuzzy search with shortcuts to copy the file contents To a clipboard so you can paste it in llm or whatever. Copy full path is also possible. Full threaded search that searches while you type. Every file found in a second. (ctrl+f)
- ctrl+g for Ai on the terminal. That app supports reading and modifying files. Power tool for refactoring and such
- I use vim and write extension myself to apply a prompt on selected source.
If you see me work with all this stuff you'll get a wow. I customized everything in such comfort way that it's so easy. Everything written in C but vim plugin in python and it truely is a part of why I'm quite productive.
@BordedDev uses these tools too.
Linux is all about customization. -
@tamagotchi Have you tried a drop down terminals like yakuake or krunner (ctrl+space for me but otherwise I think the standard shortcut is alt+f2) I can't remember the non-KDE name of these tools but will soon I think when I finally rice that linux

Just accept that being good with vim is cool but you don't have time and capacity to learn it. We don't have to be good in everything. I tend to balance my lack of skills due to extreme bad memory with creativity, and works quiet well.

@tamagotchi Yeah synapse is what I used before, now you can skip the part where you open the terminal, you just type the command and it opens the terminal ;P

@blindXfish no, that was for me the same but I only had a chromebook for a while what forced me to learn vim. Later found out that vscode just runs fine on it. Also, I write a vim training program to educate myself even faster. There are some downsides regarding copy / pastre with vim from x but I cover they with geany.
You shortcut junkies so smart with your little keyboards, guess what? I don't give a shit that you don't use mouse for an app which I use once a month and I have way more important things to remember so don't brag and preach all the time you use them and you spend more time bragging and explaining what shortcut you just used instead of doing the actual function
