- A question related to https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/674134.
- Would you (power users) oppose a question (similar to some of the existing "showcase questions") in which people would share code for a given picture done in Metapost and tikz for comparison?
*given meaning "self given" (each answer has its own target drawing)

after the vim I found lynx! seems I am going right down to the hell! :))
 
@enthu take a look at Tridactyl instead to get VIM-like bindings in your FF
 
@Skillmon great, will give it a try.
oracle vm helped me have a good resource-friendly linux on my windows. I can have linux and work with my engineering software packages. it feels so good.
also I am having a look over the fsf's list of good packages and recommendations.

@mickep yeah, that's what I thought. But that itself shan't be an issue? Or maybe it is in Type1 (as opposed to TTF/OTF)
 
@yo' Sorry, I don't know why or if that should happen.
 
yo'
@mickep Yeah, no worries. I'll just need to figure out who of the maintainers is the right to contact because CTAN doesn't list any bug tracker for the package...
 
@yo' I would mail Karl. If not him, maybe he knows. :)
 
yo'
@mickep yeah, or the gentium at tug mailing list...
 
@yo' Sounds even better.

Interesting parsing to turn Dutch into Spanish: El Sevier :)

@enthu and once you took a look at Tridactyl, mourn for the loss of Pentadactyl, as it was a thousand times better.
 
@Skillmon Or you start using a properly configurable browser: github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt ;)
 
@TeXnician I'm on the watch-list of that. Do you actually use it?
 
@Skillmon I have for a few months last year until it stopped building on Arch, haven't checked it since then. It was awesome in terms of keyboard navigation. Unfortunately, I always missed some plugins (especially password manager integration) and dark reader support to make it my main browser.
 
@TeXnician did you ever try vieb?
(was a resource hog when I last tried it, driving my average CPU load up to 25% and above)
 
@Skillmon Nope, because the whole point of nyxt for me was to use the emacs bindings in a browser instead of vim ones ;)
 
6:59 PM
@TeXnician psk, why use a keyboard focused workflow if you then choose a workflow using harder keyboard shortcuts than just using the mouse?
:P
 
7:24 PM
@TeXnician it's in community now (if it wasn't when you were using it)
 
@Skillmon Interesting. It was definitely an AUR package when I was using it. Although I probably would use the nixpkgs version if I installed it again. Unfortunately, I'm currently low enough on spare time that I should not tempt myself with such experiments :D
 
@TeXnician I know exactly how you're feeling. Basically there is not much that keeps me at FF, it's just Tridactyl, uBlock, and uMatrix. And having decent speed would be good as well. (was just running vieb a bit, and it turns out to be noticeably slow, not sura about Nyxt)
(and Lisp is not among the languages I'm fluent in, so configuring Nyxt is either learning a new language or clobbing together bits and pieces found elsewhere, the first is limited by my spare time, the second is non-ideal)
 
@Skillmon Speed with Nyxt was actually quite okay. Plugin support is definitely the weak spot. If they should implement WebExtension support, it would be awesome.
@Skillmon Actually, Lisp is among the easiest languages for configuration files. The amount you need for basic configuration is learned faster than Lua basics and it feels much better than a number of JSON configurations I have used in other “modern” tools.
 
7:50 PM
I remembered what my issue with Nyxt was, it just feels wrong to use, even if one uses the default VIM bindings, commands have the "wrong" names. It was just not usable to me out of the box and then I dropped it again.
Perhaps I find the interest for another more sophisticated try
