  • sixel-tmux

    sixel-tmux is a fork of tmux, with just one goal: having the most reliable support of graphics

  • In theory, the optimized drivers can take advantage of this, but I think it might be easier to do with a dedicated app talking to these APIs (so maybe with different modes for different brands like Linfiny/Boox/Remarkable/Kindle): it could take advantage of detecting the difference in what's displayed to mix text and images like https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux :

  • Unexpected-Keyboard

    A lightweight virtual keyboard for developers.

  • Replace the ASOP keyboard by the unexpected keyboard from FDroid:

  • WorkOS
