Survivalguide - how I survive without a display-manager
=======================================================
1) Multitasking
tmux
sometimes bg, fg
2) Plumbing
I plumb most media to mpv (also pictures) using `tmux new-window`
e.g.
> case $1 in
> *.png|*.jpg|*.jpeg|*.webp)
> tmux new-window mpv $* 2> /dev/null; exit
> ;;
It's surprisingly smooth!
3) Statusbar
slstatus
Just put `set -g status-right #(slstatus -1)` in your ~/.tmux.conf
4) Play Movie/Video while doing something else.
mpv
This is a gamechange for me:
Put `a cycle vid` in your ~/.config/mpv/input.conf
and
Quitting mpv with Shift + Q allows you to continue the video where you left.
5) Play games
play lichess.org using chess-tui
nethack
6) email
mutt
7) chatting
terminal based IRC client
8) surfing
sacc for gopher
w3m for http
9) news feed
atom/rss
I use my own wrapper for sfeed and sfeed_curses.
10) following people on youtube
atom/rss + mpv
11) browsing/searching youtube
idiotbox + mpv
12) chose a font
browse /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/* and then:
setfont -d /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/Lat2-Terminus16.psfu.gz
