I’ve recently been trying mapping command (⌘ or cmd) to control (ctrl) on #macOS when within the #terminal. I'm doing this in #KarabinerElements. Why? One less key on a compact ergonomic keyboard!

I quickly excluded ⌘+tab as a special case for application switching (more useful than ctrl+tab), but should have seen another obvious clash coming:

It only took a day for me to press ⌘+c for copy, and get ctrl+c which cancelled what I was running 🤦

Gotta love* folks who make apps for #MacOS (which is used primarily by people who are accustomed to one-click installation) that require #Terminal for installation and they don't even bother to include installation instructions. Because installation instructions are for pussies who don't know FOSS from floss, amirite?🙄

Anybody have a recommendation for a #TUI or #CLI music player?

I'd really really really like an experience very much like winamp/xmms/audacious ... but in the #terminal

IDK, maybe nothing like this really exists because the activity is inherently a multimedia situation, and so it's just "natural" to have that interaction through a GUI?

3 years ago, as I just had created Offpunk, I started to implement what would become ansicat : a way to render HTML (or any format) in your terminal

Besides a lot of technical learning, the biggest lesson was probably how bad people are at writing texts and abusing any format.
