x11pygrid VS jaro

not for wayland but this windowmanager-agnostic grid tool is very helpful https://github.com/pkkid/x11pygrid

PyGrid was the first one. A command-line solution for X11-based desktop with Python3 installed. It's pretty easy to setup and I strongly recommend.

I've been using a combination of pop_shell (for window focus{north,south,east,west} keybinds and a pleasing focused window border) and a slightly modified version of pygrid which is a fork of QuickTile to manage sizing and placement of windows for a while. My pygrid setup mimics spectacle or rectangle window placement and keybinds. Essentially I have: ctl+alt+right - Move window to top right corner with 33% screen width and 50% screen height. Repeat cycles 50%,50% and 66%,50% shift+ctrl+alt+right - Same but bottom right.

LF. Has vi keybindings like ranger but faster and with async image preview. You may also need this or ranger's rifle as file opener

Another alternative to xdgopen is jaro. There is a config that overrides xdgopen system-wide and it can handle alternative programs inside and outside of terminal. It also has alternative openers selector, but i haven't tried it yet as probably it's better to use mimeopen --ask as it lists all possible openers, but jaro can use dmenu (or maybe even rofi) as selector outside terminal

If you use jellyfin jellyfin-mpv-shim lets you play streams in mpv without worrying about transcoding.

Other fun tricks

If you use jaro instead of xdg-open you can make video links automatically open in mpv while regular web links open in your browser of choice.

If you use elfeed its nice to watch video entries in mpv without a side trip to the browser. Stolen from Prot somewhere or other.

Oh, and I'm dicking around with jaro as well. Mimi allegedly can do similar-ish stuff, but jaro specifically seems to make it pretty easy to open specific website URL's in a special application, so if I click on a youtube or tiktok or whatever video link that ends in a video file extension in Discord it'll just open up in mpv directly with a sponsorblock script. Trying to find a maintained Reddit client that can be passed URL's in a similar fashion, but not as much luck - it'd be cool, though.
