working on a clipboard manager with various 'contexts' so that one-off copies don't pollute my clipboard history with stuff i'll never need again.

Also, I've added hidden desktops to my #NeoFlux #WindowManager project design. Can't get started on it until I have summer break time, but working on the design docs now. Hidden desktops are only accessible through keyboard shortcuts; they and their windows do not show up in window lists. Is there real use to these? Not sure.

"what if you had an extra mouse button to manipulate windows movement" #ux #uxdesign

from this video: https://youtu.be/1fZTOjd_bOQ?si=rlMZArPxx5QpyDXg&t=1745

well, obviously. That is why, for almost 2 decades now, I always have a mouse with extra buttons and always map the super/win-key to one of the side buttons and always configure my #windowmanager to use the super/win key to manipulate windows.

But I just realized, many won't ever have considered this trick.
