I came to this channel because of a video that talked about workflow and the idea of really being effective without leaving the development environment, minimizing the use of the mouse, etc. very interesting. On the same topic, I also agree with the idea of a youtuber rwxrob who says "my wm is tmux" or something like that. In this learning path with tmux, neovim and other"cli-tools" you can generate an IDE or PDE abstracting a KDE or even Windows desktop. It is a pending task to venture into a wm, I would be interested in installing "sway" at some point. this channel has great content, congratulations

Using I3 with tabs too, and I love that, for years now. On 4x24" screens, I have room, and I'm used to working on different screens at my job and @home too. I just like to have some applications/information displayed at the same place. Still, I use tabs, between 2/4 per screens. This is so good to have the capability to move around without leaving your keyboard… And tmux/vim. The best configuration possible (at least.. for me) !

i3wm & sway (for wayland folks) are both good alternatives, of course we can replicate a lot of these behaviours on GNOME, but TWM is way more lightweight, no doubt about that =). For GNOME, I usually disable an entry via dconf-editor that maps the default behaviour for the Mod key and then set Mod+Space to open the overview instead, that way I avoid accidentally opening the overview, and also avoid key conflicts. I changed/added +50 key combinations on GNOME via the keyboard settings haha.

Really appreciated this one, thank you! Since you are a heavy vim user have you thought about neovim? Specifically I’m interested if we can set up a decent IDE for Java with neovim and how it compares to Intelij

So the way how I use vim it wouldn't make a difference (I'm not a heavy plugin user). But for development I need my IDE (for refactorings, actions, compilation, etc.). I guess it's possible to rebuild most things with smart vim plugins but haven't done it myself. That's why I use IdeaVim as vim simulation in IJ and I live with the few shortcomings that this IDE plugin has over proper vim.

Awesome video! What font size do you normally use in your IDE and terminal?

@SebastianDaschnerIT 11 ай бұрын

In IntelliJ, I use the default (JetBrains Mono, 13.0), in the terminal (Alacritty) it's size 8

It is awesome, I agree. Using dwm here. There is a new text editor, zed-editor (AUR), that I would like to try, but the build isn't working. So much better than Mac users with Tmux, right?

Yes, a tiling wm is more flexible than tmux, which is why I don't use the latter, only everything in i3. Sorry to hear about that editor not building, haven't tried it myself...
