I was wondering if there is any way to have a keybind to scroll left or right, just like you can scroll up and down with C-k and C-j? </pre> Thuban 2012-05-24T05:52:41 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.suckless/9436 <pre>Hi guys, What are your github user ids, so I can add them to the scklss "Owners Team" page? Trying to figure out who reserved "suckless" on github: http://twitter.com/kaihendry/status/205228871329656832 hghub.org no worky for me, all I see is "Under active development!". Nonetheless it would be great if you could help figure out the optimal hg-git-hg work flow and tools required to pull it off.

I see some problems, it would work if I start my browser via dmenu, but not from terminal or tabbed. It seems that one cannot (easily) modify /proc/PID/environ. Sucking window managers do that with dbus which is dirty...

However, I realized now that everything is so much more complicated. I used glib/GIO/gvfs to do the following: 1. Mounting USB disks, partitions, and samba shares. - Suckless alternative: libc, libmount? 2. Getting filesystem size, file modification times, etc. - Suckless alternative: libc, anything else? 3. Spawn tasks asynchronously and return the stderr and stdout output. - Suckless alternative: libspawn 4. Dictionary data type to store key value pairs. - Suckless alternative: hash table with libc? 5. String utility - Suckless alternative: libporty Any recommendations on lighter weight libraries I can use to accomplish the above tasks?

Cheers, strake </pre> Strake 2012-05-10T15:47:32 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.suckless/9348 <pre>Hi Folks: For some time now I've been cobbling together a kind of suckless ecosystem for use on tablet or hybrid touch devices. I thought I'd release some of the code to the public, although most of it is proof-of-concept and cobbled together. GOAL Operate without a keyboard. OVERVIEW SLUT combines a patched dwm which is gesture aware. A certain gesture, or clicking on the status text, will launch a patched dmenu which is mouse aware, allowing you to launch various things you want to launch, e.g., svkbd, surf, zathura, etc. Gesture mode is toggled by way of a physical button on the tablet (in this case, the power button, although the volume buttons would work). Switching between applications is achieved via dmenu + a patched version of lsw. You should also modify the apps that you play with to be "gesture" aware, that is, to respond to Control-F1 through Control-F6 (see dwm's config.h). All the best, Peter </pre> Peter Hartman 2012-05-09T12:02:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.suckless/9343 <pre>Hello, Using dwm on a customized system and accomplished X autologin and starting of applications using the following: For X autologin: 1. Modified /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc to add a sudo. Thus: exec sudo /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$&lt; at &gt;" 2. Add user to sudoers list with no password required. 3. Have the following in /etc/init.d/autox: su autouser -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c startx &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1" &amp; For starting of applications: 1. In the user's xinitrc: exec dwm &amp; xrandr --output LVDS-2 --fb 1300x740 --scale 1.62x1.54 hash surf &amp;&amp; surf http://localhost/ So the questions are: 1. Is there a better way to accomplish X autologin? Preferrably without installing a login manager. 2. For autostarting applications, the above was the only way I could get surf to maximize with the xrandr scaling. Otherwise surf would only maximize to the original resolution (in this case, 800x480). 3. What is the 'hash' used for? I got this from the xinitrc.example on on the dwm website. Thank you, Amit </pre> Amit Uttamchandani 2012-05-07T05:49:17 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.suckless/9339 <pre>Hi all, As I'm enrolled in Google Summer of Code until the end of summer, updates to st are unlikely. If someone is interested in working on it, ask Anselm for a write access to the repo. If you want some ideas, here are a few a the top of my head: * I think the Xdbe patch is interesting and should be integrated. Any experimentation to make the drawing faster while keeping the terminal logic separated from the drawing is welcome. As I've already said, I'm don't know much about X11. * There are also some bugfixes that have been posted on the list that I have not looked into which should probably be integrated as well. I'm thinking of the the new-output-but-not-refreshing bug which is annoying. * Improve xterm compatibility. * The selection code has to be cleaned up. I've started to commit some things locally but it's not finished. * Merge the Xft branch and refactor code in order to have one interface for both system. Improve the support for unusual glyph in a smart way (switch to another font is not present in the current one, etc). This can be tedious because you have to work around Xlib in weird ways. You can look at urxvt for implementation details. * Implement scrollback buffer. I've never needed this one but it's one of those thing where lot of people ask for it and it's not very hard to implement. * There's more in the TODO and README files. </pre> Aurélien Aptel 2012-05-05T21:41:53 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.misc.suckless/9332 <pre>I've compiled st, and I am enjoying it without any problems except for unusual behavior with wicd-curses. It handles other curses interfaces without problem. I've read the page on the community wiki about st and see there mentions of acsc capabilities and other information related to drawing semi-graphical characters for terminal GUIs like curses, but I wasn't able to parse any useful info from it. Attached is a screen shot to give you an idea of what I am talking about. notice the difference with xterm (screenshot also attached). The other screens of wicd-curses also have problems. I tried st compiled with TNAME as "st", "st-256color" and "xterm" and I didn't notice any difference. Does anyone have any clues?

In my (rather amateurish) attempts to port various stuff to plan9 [2], I have found mkmk to be a really great tool to make mkfiles for various packages that otherwise need autoconf etc... I just read up on the sta.li page again and saw that mk is what is planned to be used for this system. If that is the case, I think mkmk could be a good complement to deal with packages expecting GNU stuff (autoconf, libtool, make). [1] steve/mkmk under fgb's contrib on Plan9.

I would like to present nldev[0], which is a simple tool that will at‐ tach to the netlink bus of the Linux kernel and run mdev(1) (part of busybox). Additionally it includes helper files for mdev(1) that emulate much of the udevd madness. Some parts are avoided, like »by‐part« sym‐ links to devices, as they would require the utilities included in the udev distribution. See the README.md for how to replace udevd on your system. If you just want to play with the netlink uevents, see nlmon[1], the little brother of nldev.
