Thatβs it, I need to hook up a controller to my PC so I can open Htop with a button press
Almost as painful as using vim on your phone without an external keyboard
I genuinely use vim inside of termux on a daily basis. I dunno if I'm sick in the head or what, but I kinda like vim on my phone.
Yeah I was gonna say that while it sounds completely unusable, it's surprisingly not too bad actually. Some of the more complex shortcuts can get pretty tedious, but nothing that a good config can't solve.
I remember once my friend's laptop died, and while it was in RMA he was using his phone with an external keyboard and mouse to develop a webapp lol. Just goes to show that any computing device that can run a web browser and VIM covers 90% of your daily software needs haha.
What keyboard do you use? Do you need something like Unexpected Keyboard, or are you still able to be productive in vim with a more "standard" Android keyboard?
Just default Gboard. It's not pleasant, but it's good enough for most of what I do.
Just use a MIDI controller or an Arduino button box. You can do it!
What are you, a Tintin villain based on Greek stereotypes?
Personally I just run gotop at startup and keep it on my second monitor. I know it's a small waste of resources but I enjoy watching the blinkenlights.
If you're on Xorg, you can also use xwinwrap to make gotop (or any other app) your wallpaper btw. Kinda useless on a tiling WM tho
Make all your windows translucent!
btop could be pretty controller friendly
I love btop!
