fzutils VS setup

Nice. I do something similar with simple scripts for fuzzy finding a file/sha, and then call them in place of one being expected, but this might tempt me to let someone else maintain it (with undoubtedly more thought and time put into it by a long shot) instead :)

I dislike all the short acronym-style aliases though; (I know it's fairly popular with git) not immediately obvious if it's supported to just use the usual commands.

Found a config that seems much cleaner than my lua mess and at a glance it has the key tiling functions[1]. Check set-window-fraction function and its callsites.

Textual trending to a new de-facto basis for cross-platform gui apps is a HUGE improvement from every new app being js and Electron!

Not to mention replacing heavy Java gui apps as well! The myriad DB guis for whatever historical reason have mostly been slow heavy, and paid, Java apps.

I'd actually written a thing that integrated cli db tools(eg [1]) with kitty[2] and visidata to show a query editor and then results underneath in a kitty split pane. Now I've been using Harlequin[3] in my terminal. So nice to have these apps be fast apps that live in a terminal tab instead of their own bloated poorly-keyboard-driven Electron apps.

I just wrote it today and still need to package it. I was tired of alt+tab + up arrow + enter constantly to execute builds etc. in my terminal. It calls out to a wrapper script I wrote[1] that does things like queries kitty for its running windows so that when I launch from vscode it can find the right kitty window for the vscode workspace and execute there...

Point is, Kovid Goyal is awesome and the extensibility he wrote into kitty makes all that possible. I had no idea he was also the author of Calibre until I'd been using kitty for a while.

If anyone cares, here's my config: https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/master/HOME/.hammerspoon/i...

It shows off a tiny bit of what you can do with Hammerspoon:

- window and app management

Just sharing my take on that interactive jq (or anything else) repl:

It's just an fzf wrapper that sets up temporary files and so on. It works really well; it's amazing all the things one can use fzf for.

Since we're sharing, my dotfiles setup has pretty much reached its final form. I use my symgr[1] to symlink my dotfiles repo into my home dir. Pretty much everything I think about this topic is in its readme, as well as a link to my setup[2] repo with my dotfiles showing how I use symgr.
