Using en-dash and em-dash in SwayWM with Compose
https://codingotaku.com/notes/en-dash-and-em-dash-in-swaywm-using-compose
While many think that people who use en-dash[1] or em-dash are using LLMs, it’s pretty easy to do with a keyboard, and I use it quite a lot in my blogs.
Most keyboards available now has a compose key, and even if it doesn’t, the operating system can usually handle it by mapping the compose key to another less-used key.
In my SwayWM configuration, I …

I'm a happy #SwayWM user, but gosh ... Reading https://isaacfreund.com/blog/river-window-management/ and looking at https://codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/branch/main/pages/wm-list.md I love what #RiverWM folks have been doing.
100% agree with this quote:
Wayland currently does not come close to the diversity of X11 window managers. I believe that separating the Wayland compositor and window manager will change this and I see the beginnings of this change with the 15 window managers already written for river! -
Found out where the config file for sway is located, that is good! However, I am not confident enough to change the 24-hr time to 12-hr time. As I did find some people who managed this, but they didn't write the change in the standard format found in the sway config file. It left me scratching my head, as I am not used to the style that Sway utilizes at this time.
Resulting in my closing the config file and going back to hunting for a default reference to writing that change...As that will boost my confidence and allow me to complete my desired change.
This is a problem that I can solve, it's just a matter of grinding at it for a bit.

I am currently attempting to use SwayWM, and it is going pretty well...I just need to locate the config file so I can make some changes because the 24-hr clock is driving me up the wall! I did find that win+d opened a program launcher (which sees all the apps I have installed).
So far, I am not having the best of luck...I think that I can succeed at doing something as basic as changing a .config file (he says, deeply uncertain and distractedly).

You know what I love? Seeing -rc1 of a piece of software I love using. #SwayWm in this case.
All of my computing experience for the past decades has been in Linux/#FOSS. It's not *always* smooth, but I at least I never had to worry about new popups/dark patterns trying to get me to accept data collection/sharing or some other infuriating Big Tech move.
Just things getting slightly better with each release. A feature here, a bugfix there. Occasional new bugs (oh well, I know how that happens)

@circfruit @abcdw I use my pinkies for Super key( #swaywm mod key ) and also for mouse keys and trackpad states. My home rows are Shift, Ctrl, Alt and Super on pinky

I returned to trying the #SwayWM tiling window manager again, and the constraint that all windows must fit where I could see them was refreshing.
More like a "tiny house" that can never get too cluttered because you are forced to deal with the accumulation before it gets too bad.
What I think I really want is something in between: A virtual canvas that is constrained to "only" 2x my desktop, so I still have some "sidecar" windows partially visible, but my ability to add clutter has limits!

This is sway, running as a nested session inside my GNOME session. This is cool, but not the coolest part of this screenshot: Sway is running on my server while GNOME is running on my laptop. And I'm not even at home where my server is, and it still hasn't much lag.
$ waypipe --no-gpu ssh server sway

#swaywm is amazing and I love it but there is too much broken for me to handle.
It's my fault, I have the dread Nvidia GPU.
@CachyOS makes everything else just work with it though, thankfully!
So I've fallen back to my good old @kde .
Hoping I can lean into activities so I can create a similar tool to task and purpose workflow. We'll see!
But while I play, everything just works including Zoom screen share.
I ran my first daily standup with my new setup this AM and everything went off without a hitch!
