  • FreeRDP

    FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients

  • Project mention: FreeRDP 3.2.0 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-19
  • i3

    A tiling window manager for X11

  • Project mention: Show HN: Chrome Reaper | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-19

    While I believe Memory Saver was a great improvement, it only works if the tab is hidden or the window minimized. I recently learned the required state is not triggered if the tab is open but on another virtual desktop. At least this is the case with many of not all Linux window managers. Some of the many discussion threads on the topic:

  • picom

    A lightweight compositor for X11

    (https://github.com/yshui/picom/blob/next/picom.sample.conf)

  • warpd

    A modal keyboard-driven virtual pointer

  • Project mention: Turning a Keyboard into a Mouse with Libevdev | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-07

    I also enjoyed using https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd on my mac. But was hit with few bugs, where the pointer used to get stuck. Had to keep restarting. But still a nice program to ditch mouse.

  • keyd

    A key remapping daemon for linux.

  • Project mention: Key remapping to vim navigation and more | /r/Fedora | 2023-12-04

    I use keyd (https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd) and what I've done is remapped CapsLock down holding to a modifier key that allows me to use vim navigation and more. So when I press CapsLock down I can use jkl; for navigation. I've also added u and i as page up and down. For browser back and forward use n and m. Just pressing CapsLock acts as an esc press.
