  1. Well, hit a snag with #niri. I can't get #mupdf to launch, though it works fine in #sway. I might try #zathura but trying to avoid a bunch of package bloat.

  2. Happy to announce that my bro Ken Priebe has joined us at the #VideoStore Podcast! He's recommended 4 kids' adventure films. I've heard of a few of these, but not seen any of them. Looking forward to checking them out! #EarthToEcho #Zathura #nerdlyfe videostorepodcast.com/p/the-be

    #Zathura : A Space Adventure (2005)
    Two young brothers are drawn into an intergalactic adventure when their house is hurled through the depths of space by the magical board game they are playing.

  4. During my college day i use #zathura pdf reader after that i usually download epub version of the book if available as it is easy to read on mobile and stopped reading stuff a lot in laptop,

    #sioyek is a awesome pdf reader like zathura, keyboard driven - #vim keybindings default.

    The release page contains app image version so can try it without installing it.

    Tried it today, super cool

  5. Ah, it is easy to whine without contributing. "The FEATURE" of open source software.

    ........and I am guilty of it too :(

  6. Ich habe gerade den #CosmicDesktop für mich entdeckt. Ich bin wirklich positiv überrascht was #system76 hier auf die Beine gestellt hat. Look & Feel gefällt mir, Tiling Modus ist super. Es gibt wenig negatives zu berichten, wie z.B. dass der Launcher und Dateimanager nicht alle installierten Programme kennt (in meinem Fall #zathura als #pdfviewer). Das größte Manko aus meiner Sicht ist aber die fehlende Dokumentation, habe zumindest bisher nichts bedeutsames gefunden.

  7. Gonna try reading [this book] on #Zathura on my laptop, or until I get an e-book reader (or find where I left my old kindle XD ).

    I want to give the e-book experience another trial before I plunk down serious change for a new reader. ;)

  8. Mmmmm, naaaah, I'll just use #zathura or #MuPDF, thanks.

  9. UPDATE: Apparently mupdf lets you change the font size, trivially! Awesome sauce!!! The keybinds are a little different from zathura, but it's totally usable! Thanks to @js for the tip!

    Hey #AskFedi #HiveMind,

    I use [Zathura] as my #PDF and #EPUB reader, and it's one of my favorite programs because it's fairly lightweight, and is completely controllable from the keyboard, like less or vi, but a GUI.

    My only gripe (and it's a small gripe) is that it doesn't have any provision for adjusting the font size on EPUBs, most likely because it is using the mupdf library to render the EPUB into something it can work with (PS, PDF, or some other vector form, or possibly just calling the library to have it schlep it a bitmap, I don't know how it works under the hood).

    Is there a less-style keyboard-oriented epub viewer? I know there are some really good epub viewers out there, but they're not super keyboard friendly like #Zathura is.

    Just curious. I'm still happy to continue using Zathura to view my EPUBs. It's a really great little program.

  10. @bobulous Oh I see.
    But do you use vim bindings for any other software other than editors?

    I use a lot of vim bindings out of my editor. In pdf reader ( #zathura ), browser ( #qutebrowser , #vimium ) music player, etc.
    I’m afraid if that will conflict with Kokoune.

    And are there Kokoune bindings for popular softwares?

    #linux

  11. I really wish there was a keyboard-driven #PDF viewer like #Zathura, #MuPDF, or #SioYek that let you fill out forms and annotate #PDFs.

    That would be da bomb.

  12. Viewing the PDF version of an html file (sans images) in #Zathura, my favorite keyboard-friendly #PDF reader: 157.5 MiB RAM used
    Viewing the same original html file (with images) in #dillo: 40.0 MiB RAM used
    in #NetSurf: 74.6 MiB
    in #GnomeWeb / #Epiphany: 397.0 MiB (wow, kinda lean!!)
    in #Falkon: 541.1 MiB
    The same file in #luakit: 623.1 MiB RAM
    in #firefox / #LibreWolf: 1.31 GiB (YEP)

  13. @nobodyinperson been using it as a #zathura alternative, when I'm forced to use Windows. Works great

  14. @adamsdesk

    Dude, legit list!!! Love it!

    Kudos for including #Zathura, it's one of my all-time favorite viewers!

  15. @sotolf @dm @joel @thedoctor @pixx @orbitalmartian @adamsdesk @krafter @roguefoam @clayton @giantspacesquid @Twizzay @stfn

    That's what shell aliases are for! XD

    Feh's good, too. I haven't used it in a really long time, but it's decent. I like imv as well, but it doesn't have the nice thumbnail view mode that nsxiv does.

    I love the fact that #mupdf supports reading #ePub files. I'm bummed that the version of #Zathura that comes on #debian is linked against poppler, rather than mu (so it can't read ePubs). :/

  16. The situation with picking default applications for file types on #linux is a real PITA. Why is my #aerc suddenly opening #Chromium for PDF attachments instead of #Zathura configured in my mimeapps, ffs? xdg-mime says the default is Zathura, so wtf is going on?

  17. I've finished configuring #Sioyek PDF reader. It's so powerful. I can finally replace #Zathura, which does not support highlighting and documents with mixed page orientation.

  18. anyone know why zathura with a darker background properly has opacity but if i make the background lighter with the same alpha value it stops being partially see-through? i am perplexed lol #zathura
  19. Beim heutigen #Filmabend habe ich endlich #Zathura 🚀nachgeholt, quasi #Jumanji im Weltraum. Überraschend gelungen und wunderbar altmodisch von #JonFavreau inszeniert. Zur ausführlichen Empfehlung: moviescape.blog/2024/10/18/zat

  20. Using #Zathura (#PDF and other documents viewer) with #tabbed (#suckless utility) is a great combo to work through a ton of PDFs one at a time where they are all displayed in a single window. The window stays in the same spot and just advances through any number of PDFs by using a loop in bash like

    for x in *.pdf; do zathura -e ((tabbed X ID)) $x; done
