warpd VS fzf

I also enjoyed using https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd on my mac. But was hit with few bugs, where the pointer used to get stuck. Had to keep restarting. But still a nice program to ditch mouse.

for something similar that works with anything even beyond your browser there's warpd. I haven't used it I just know it exists. If you're into custom keyboards QMK can send mouse movements from keypresses too.

So I am trying to compile warpd, i followed and installed the dependencies, but when I make, it outputs wayland-client.h not found. Fair enough, I installed geckolinux TW Plasma, NVIDIA working fine, X11 session. I used "zypper se", it showed wayland is installed but nevermind; in the docs they have said that you can 'Set options' to only compile X11 binary. I want only that but I am just racking my brain where to insert 'DISABLE_WAYLAND' option. I know its a most basic and obvious setting but i come from arch where i fully relied on AUR for building so i zero compiling knowledge. I tried RTFM but idk what I have to find. I would be helpful if someone helps me here

Hey there! You should definitely check out warpd. It's a modal keyboard-driven pointer manipulation program that can help you control the pointer on your screen using just your keyboard.

I think you're maybe thinking of warpd? https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd

warpd avoided me spending a lot of time going from the keyboard to the mouse,for simple point and clicks. Honestly it is super useful.

Maybe you'd find warpd intersting.

I'd like to minimize my need for a mouse but there are some tasks which are just so much simpler with a cursor. I do have some mouse keys setup with Karabiner so that holding "k" and pressing esdf moves the cursor, but I've found this difficult to get used to. I have a few different keys to modify the speed, but it just feels way too convoluted and effortful to to control the cursor this way.

I've also tried warpd [1] but had some issues with it that turned me off to it.

Curious to know if anyone here has had success with something else

I actually wrote this after seeing https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd on HackerNews and saw multiple people lament that they'd like to be able to use that for Windows. You should definitely check that out!

In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.

Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

fzf : https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Those are the most used aliases in my gitconfig.

"git fza" shows a list of modified/new files in an fzf window, and you can select each file with tab plus arrow keys. When you hit enter, those files are fed into "git add". Needs fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

"git gone" removes local branches that don't exist on the remote.

"git root" prints out the root of the repo. You can alias it to "cd $(git root)", and zip back to the repo root from a deep directory structure. This one is less useful now for me since I started using zoxide to jump around. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

> my history is so noisy I had to find another way

The fzf search syntax can help, if you become familiar with it. It is also supported in atuin [2].

[1]: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf#search-syntax

[2]: https://docs.atuin.sh/configuration/config/#fuzzy-search-syn...

You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.

I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues

You can also use fzf with ripgrep to great effect:
