Rectangle VS linux

It doesn’t automatically snap windows but you can’t use this open source app: https://rectangleapp.com/

This is the second time I recommend rectangle in less than 5 minutes. It is free and does exactly what it should had been default in the os

Instead of paying for magnet, you could try rectangle for free. I still don't believe it is free.

I've been using Rectangle as a window-snapping tool for my 15", but it doesn't get along well with Outlook, which I need for my job. The problem is that Outlook for Mac won't resize to fit into the half-screen, quarter-screen, etc sizes that Rectangle snaps to (it snaps to the edge but stays wider than half-screen), so it always ends up overlapping with the apps that do play well with Rectangle.

don't install vlc, instead get IINA. works just as good also get app cleaner. it'll save you a lot of hassle uninstalling software and there's Rectangle for window snapping, it's free and works great.

Rectangle is a nifty window manager for those who prefer their windows managed.

Also, windows key + direction arrows to snap windows on a Mac. Then I found rectangle

I used to use this: https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/caps2esc It's lower level, harder to setup, but it gives you access to everything, which based on how savvy you are could be a good/bad thing.

To make it work in everywhere you need to be doing something at the evdev level. I think interception tools would allow it to work. I use caps2esc, it really works everywhere. Not sure if there are any current plugins that would make it easy though.

People often remap the "prefix" from `C-b` to something easier (keys closer together). I have CapsLock modified to be Ctrl/Esc (via https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/caps2esc) and then I mapped tmux prefix to be `C-a` (CapsLock is 'C' and 'a' is right next to it) for a very convenient prefix.

if you find a way to register the touchpad gestures and then map some actions on them, then that's the way. since a touchpad is basically a ps/2 mouse device, you can't just make it so if you just move your finger across it, the action occurs, as it would render your laptop unusable. since it's a separate device (assuming you also use a mouse), then you might try to find something similar to this, but for mouse (idk if that thing works for mouse events). otherwise you can't do it ig

What a -great- tool mate. I have spent quite some time to get my 'vim' keymap working properly on my arch OS, by using interceptor tools (https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/tools); but I have to admit, this keyd tool is way more simple to configure and quite easy to use.

I would've used unclutter but it doesn't work in Wayland. I've read hideaway does the job but I haven't tried it yet

There are partial solutions that already exist. MoltenGamepad does controller spoofing very well. But it also hasn't been touched by its author in almost a year and doesn't compile on some distros. I think it does need to be remade. I was thinking about something based on interception-tools. But my full-time job, and more pressing matters within the Linux ecosystem, have kept me from spending any time actually making such a thing.
