    That’s the minimum terminal setup. You can modify the look and add plugins such as autocompletion to your terminal by installing ohmyzsh and using themes such as powerlevel10k. I am already using them.

    The goal of this theme is that:

        colors are fairly natural

    Project mention: I think Linux might be the superior platform for gaming at this point. | /r/linux_gaming | 2023-06-18

    Is the command line really so scary? I enjoy using it from time-to-time (usually not for gaming related reasons) and I like things like Prezto to make it look pretty.

    Project mention: Config to make powerlevel10k look like Starship? | /r/zsh | 2023-04-21

  • fff

    📁 A simple file manager written in bash.

    Project mention: Use Midnight Commander like a pro (2015) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-21

    As something of an old-timer here, there's some amusement, but mostly appreciation that people are discovering that these very old ways of doing things have a lot of potential (and a lot of untapped ideas)

    Somewhat relatedly, recently I discovered the colorfully named fff. It's a solid file manager, but what I've used it for is a terminal based filespace navigator (by adding a function that just leaves you in the place you navigated to).

    It's funny how it's hard to break the habit of "cd" to move around, despite this being way faster, especially if you're not sure where you're going.

  • ytfzf

    A posix script to find and watch youtube videos from the terminal. (Without API)

    Project mention: Distro for Acer Aspire One | /r/FindMeADistro | 2023-06-04

    I've been playing with ytfzf recently which is quite cool for browsing yt on grim hardware

  • lsix

    Like "ls", but for images. Shows thumbnails in terminal using sixel graphics.

    Project mention: Are We Sixel Yet | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-14

    In XTerm, this (rightly) makes no difference. In Foot and Contour however, you still end up a line resp. a screen below where you started, if now with the correct horizontal position.

    So it seems to me like what you want should work by default, except it doesn’t.

    It should be possible to instead just treat the whole thing as a graphical overlay (by computing or directly asking for the character cell size, as Kirill Panov rightly admonishes me is possible with XTWINOPS) without touching the cursor; that’s what the “sixel scrolling” setting (DECSDM) is supposed to do. Then you can just manually move the cursor forward however many positions after you’re done drawing.

    Except apparently the DEC manual (the VT330/340 one above) and DEC hardware contradict each other as to which setting of DECSDM (set or reset) corresponds to which scrolling state (enabled or disabled), and XTerm has implemented it according to the manual not the VT3xx[1,2,3]—then most other emulators followed suit[4]—then XTerm switched to following the hardware[5,6] (unless you and that’s what I’m seeing on my machine right now. So now you need to check if you’re on XTerm ≥ 369 or not[7]. If I’m reading the Notcurses code right, other terminals have followed suit[8].

    Again, ouch.

    P.S. It seems DEC had an internal doc for how their terminals should operate (DEC STD 070) [9]. It does not document DECSDM at all.

    Project mention: Oh My Zsh | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-22

    Yep, I use zsh with 2 plugins. One for syntax highlighting commands and another for showing auto-suggestions. It's really fast. The rest is nearly a default zsh set up in terms of zsh configuration. Everything is documented in my dotfiles https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles.

    My prompt is a 1 liner that shows your git branch as well as coloring up $ to be red or not based on if the last command failed. Coincidentally I just released a blog post today on coloring up your prompt based on if the last command failed at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/color-your-shell-prompt-red-i....
