JOE editor was: a little bit of vi+zsh magic

Today I was forced to use the joe editor for java.
In the search-and-replace dialog (see s in ed) joe seemed to change my
input to upper case automatically. Eventually I found out it was just
auto-completion. If you don't want auto-completion you can add rare
characters and delete them when you are ready.
Perhaps I should hang myself...

[tabbed] Autostarting apps

Hello,
Any idea how to achieve this? I'd really like to make it start an
instance of surf on startup, I believe this will need some nice patch.
Any idea anyone?

Regards,
Ted

[OT] Fwd: List merge of g.c.w-m.dwm and g.c.w-m.wmii

Hi Robert,

sorry for starting a new thread at dev <at> suckless.org. Personally I give
up the hope that the gmane problem will ever be fixed. I had long
discussions during Jul-Sep and nothing really happened. The discussion
wasn't distributed to this list, but here is the last mail I send (see
below).

HTH,
Anselm

Well can we do something? Nearly 3 months passed since we raised this
issue and nothing happend.

In summary:

1. Stop archiving g.c.w-m.dwm and g.c.w-m.wmii (+ fixing the links to
original list archives, see below **)

2. Can we just set up archiving for dev <at> suckless.org (I can provide
the whole list archive of just that, I did in the past twice as you

[surf] clipboard vs. primary

Hi,

I find that Firefox and perhaps others like to "paste" from the CLIPBOARD
rather than PRIMARY.  Hence, in clipboard() in surf.c I have to duplicate
the following line (replacing PRIMARY with CLIPBOARD):

gtk_clipboard_set_text(gtk_clipboard_get(GDK_SELECTION_PRIMARY), c->linkhover ? c->linkhover :
geturi(c), -1)

I'd like to see if we can just add this to vanilla?  Is there a reason not
(other than the extra line of code)?

multiple fonts in wmii

Hi there,

Can wmii support multiple fonts? This way if glyphs are not found in the 
first font, the next one is being searched.
I am looking for some functionality along the lines of 
http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.pod#How_does_rxvt_unicode_choose_fonts
(yes, this link actually works).

Most fonts do not contain the glyphs for my native language, so I am ending 
up with blank squares instead. If I modify wmii font to one that contains 
native glyphs, the latin letters are just ugly..

OTOH, shouldn't fontconfig do this (select matching fonts by language) by 
default? it obviously is not the case in my setup, and I couldn't find any 
docs on how to make this work the way I expect it to.

[surf] segmentation fault

[DWM] Someone is having some kind of blinking with p9p acme and dwm?

Hi all.
Recently I started using acme and I notice an odd behaviour in dwm,
like dwm try to "re-tile" every few second all the windows even if I
am not in the same tag that acme. Only happens when I start acme ,
although if I kill acme  It still happen.

[st] a real (I think) feature request

I'd like a terminal emulator that has a "dumb" terminal mode, i.e. where line 
editing can happen locally and what one types is only sent to the tty when 
one hits return (or some other key).

I use ssh to connect to hosts with very slow, high latency satellite links.  
It is exceedingly painful to type on a link like this and there's no way to 
put ssh into a line mode as can be done with telnet.

[surf] surf-0.3 released

surf-0.3 is out. There are still some bugs left, but I think it's time
to roll out a new release because there changed a plenty of things:
- changed cookiefile to cookies.txt
- removed urlbar and searchbar using XProps instead
- downloads are working
- zooms website out, if the window is small enough
- fixing surf to make it work with tabbed more smoothly.

Mercurial
* http://hg.suckless.org/surf
Tarball:
* http://dl.suckless.org/surf/surf-0.3.tar.gz

please be patient as there are still some bugs, but feel free to give feedback.

[dwm] patch - nametag

Hello,

This patch allows you to change the names of dwm's tags while it's
running.  I find it's useful to change one of my 'misc' tags to a more
descriptive name if I find myself working on something specific for a
few hours.

Hope it helps,
