zsh VS bspwm

https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/47c7bc9b1493c7374f076b... has a comment about this behaviour, but no justification. I think it's just an optimization to save a little bit of time by not forking, and to avoid having the zsh process hanging around taking resources for no reason.

As a developer, the command line is one of the tools you will be using most frequently. It can be intimidating to venture into the world of CLI tooling but I can assure you it is one of the most rewarding experiences too. In this post I want to walk ya'll through my personal CLI setup. It is based on 3 technologies which I'll coin as the "Holy Trinity" of the command line: TMUX, ZSH, & Neovim.

Just like macOS, bash is included by default in most Linux distributions. Zsh on the other hand, needs to be installed manually. The installation process varies for different distributions but you can always check how to go about it for your distro on zsh website.

POSIX Shell [sh] such as bash[bash] or zsh [zsh] are used to run the commands.

this looks like the zshell implementation.

You can mass rename, using zsh zmv module. Tutorial

I use kitty, with a Nord theme, transparency, and Zsh with Oh My Zsh, using the clean theme.

Bspwm is a window manager. Configuration happens in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bspwm/bspwmrc, as per stated here: https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm

Use BSPWM. It supports right clicks by default and its modular. You might want to look for status bars that work with it, slstatus does not work. Good luck, supremacist!

I had not heard of bspwm but I am a fan of telling WMs. Looking at the documentation now, I really like the pragmatic approach lol https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm

If you use the bspwm off of github instead of the old 0.9.10, you can use bspc node @parent -y next to cycle the split type of the parent of the focused. I added it ~1.5years ago, after baskerville added node -y horizontal and node -y vertical to set the split type of a node to vertical/horizontal ~2 years ago.

Also bspwm's JSON generation and parsing is not great. If you have a window with quotes in its class name, bspwm, when dumping it, will not escape them generating invalid JSON (e.g. {"className":"the "cool" window",) that jq will not be able to read, and even worse, bspwm itself will not be able to read. (Yes, if a window's class name contains a " character, bspwm will fail to reload after you run wm -r #1362).

Just follow this guide
