@theapache64 I like to use cd + FZF's ctrl-T and z to navigate around to common folders. it builds dynamic shortcuts so u can do `z desk`

Been trying out LazyVim config for Neovim so I can move away from VSCode & use the mouse less. I'm super happy with it: easy to setup, sane set of defaults, lots of useful plugins, & am still able to configure/extend it if I want. Great work, @folke!

@dankim but what happened to the f1 app?

[James Barr @jbarr21]

@kaushikgopal I'd rather use many simpler coreutils combined with pipes for easier readability & greater flexibility. `cut -s -d'"' -f2 < test.txt` or `(grep '"' | cut -d'"' -f2) < test.txt` is still concise & powerful but much easier to maintain.

That said, great article & I learned lots!

[James Barr @jbarr21]

Built a new Cantor keyboard so I could make use of low profile, lightweight 35g Kailh Choc Pro Red switches and MBK Legend keycaps. Very happy with how it turned out!

@ZacSweers @EsaFirm There was a Droidcon SF talk on the subject https://t.co/4OD0MrrbEq

[James Barr @jbarr21]

@theapache64 I'd add regex flag or use ag/rg, but like the idea!

[James Barr @jbarr21]

Excited to hear about all the things #AndroidDev at @droidconSF!

Achievement unlocked! Built a Corne mechanical keyboard with lightweight Akko CS Vintage White linear switches and blank PBT OEM R3 keycaps

@saketme @CashApp Interop performance

[James Barr @jbarr21]

@valera_zakharov this can be done w/ @_hammerspoon which allows binding a key to action(s) that run like pressing key combos or even moving windows (w/o depending on a WM app) https://t.co/JUelan1E2Q
