  • statusbar: slstatus
  • statusbar scripts: playerctl, volume, caps/numlock (not featured: battery, brightness)
  • music player: ytfzf

What does qutebrowser do? Is it chome/firefox or something other than those two based?

Also fantastic desktop. Looks great.

[–] somegeek@programming.dev 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Its based on webkit, IIRC

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Technically chromium is webkit so not wrong

[–] Neptr@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Chromium was forked from WebKit but it isn't the same thing. Chromium is Blink.

It would be like saying all browser are KHTML based lol.

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Gecko is not KHTML but yes... chromium is blink, but it's still very similar to webkit, there is a reason for the way useragents and CSS selectors are the way they are.

Thank you! It's a Qt, chromium-based browser with keyboard-centric navigation. It's modal, like Vim, and with Vim-like key bindings, so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard and not have to switch to the mouse and back.

Have you tried Firefox (or a fork) with Tridactyl? I could never truly get into Qutebrowser

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I've tried Tridactyl with librewolf, but it didn't feel as well-integrated. I would have to switch to default hotkeys for certain tabs.

[–] Scoopta@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I believe it's a cef (chromium) based Qt browser

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That's correct, and it has keyboard-based navigation. It's modal, like Vim, and with Vim-like key bindings, so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard and not have to switch to the mouse and back.

Awesome channel

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 3 points 2 months ago

that looks great! Everything works together nicely

[–] tommyjeff@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nice screenshot, btw, what's this part in the right window, is it the window's scroller or anything else? I like it so much. see my attachment.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Thanks! That's the tab bar. The icons are minimized because of the window's size, but you can see the icons when the window is maximized. It also allows mouse scrolling.

Peak desktop🔥

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks. It took me a while, but the status bar icons and text are also conditional (using bash scripts with if/then statements and case statements). I also created separate picom animations for notifications and windows.
