Sway tiling compositor works very good, it is based on
workspaces mostly because you can edit it's name.

I output CPU governor, keyboard layout, battery state and
percent and temperature at Sway header.

I configured browser and Telegram with simple sandboxing
isolation. #dailyreport #linux #gentoo #wayland #booting #chatgpt #aideveloper #wannabeprogrammer #newprogrammer #llmdeveloper #keyd #vlock

#TerSoftware (Utilitários de Teclado/Mouse/Touch - softwares que ampliam a funcionalidade do teclado, do mouse/trackpad ou das telas de toque)

Autokey (Linux)

Alternativa ao AutoHotKey (Windows). Uso ele basicamente para duas coisas:

- 1) remapear teclas. Exemplo: enquanto mantenho AltGr pressionado, transformo as letras do lado direito em um NumPad (meu teclado é 60%);

- 2) expansão de texto. Exemplos: digitando ":email" é preenchdio "[email protected]", ":dt" = "2026-02-24" (data), ":hr" = "12:53" (hora) etc.

PS: Uso também o keyd para trabalhar com várias camadas (layers) no teclado. Mas este é mais chato e "perigoso" de configurar; o mesmo dev fez também o warpd, que permite mover o cursor do mouse usando o teclado.

Thank you to these Free Software projects I use every day (and to those I know I'm forgetting):
#bash #btrfs #glibc #gnucoreutils #guile #htop #keyd #kitty #labwc #librewolf #man #mvp #python #sudo #tmux #tty-clock #vim #voidlinux #waybar #zathura

Woo hoo! I figured out how to install #keyd on #Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon and remap the silly #Copilot key on my new Dell Inspiron 5440 laptop to be the Right Ctrl key.

I used the PPA install method for Ubuntu, since Linux Mint is an Ubuntu derivative, which is itself a Debian derivative.

#keyd is a gem I discovered recently, and couldn't believe exists.

Do you like programmable keyboards? But sometimes, you don't have one, or you're using your laptop's keyboard?

Keyd turns your non-programmable keyboard into a programmable one, through software, but at a level low enough that it just works everywhere.

Now you can use Caps-Lock as control, or long-press tab for Alt, or double-press it to escape, or press compose to hold ctrl+alt+shift+meta. Etc.
