autokey

I accomplish the same thing with compose sequences, and by binding a keyboard shortcut in my desktop to call a script with wtype. It's not a cross-compositor solution though, as you'd have to manually setup binds in each of them.

I don't see much hope for this one-to-one unfortunately.

Relevant except below, bolded is the key point.

-v prints non-printing characters in a visible representation. Making strange characters visible is a genuinely new function, for which no existing program is suitable. (sed -n l, the closest standard possibility, aborts when given very long input lines, which are more likely to occur in files containing non-printing characters.) So isn’t it appropriate to add the -v option to cat to make strange characters visible when a file is printed?

The answer is "No." Such a modification confuses what cat’s job is  concatenating files  with what it happens to do in a common special case  showing a file on the terminal. A UNIX program should do one thing well, and leave unrelated tasks to other programs. cat’s job is to collect the data in files. Programs that collect data shouldn’t change the data; cat therefore shouldn’t transform its input.

The "$@" doesn't do that you think it does in an alias. It gets expanded on alias creation.

Love the Towerfall OST myself, it was such a shock to hear about him.

Rivals of Aether 2, its so good to have an indie platfighter that has Smas'hs level of polish.

The first one is still a better casual experience because of workshop and single player modes, but I'm here to shmoove in ranked.

Basically the Matrix Spec Change Proposal system, I like it. Opens the floor to more players, gives tool authors a list of protocols they could choose to build on, and hopefully compositors will choose to adopt or adapt one of these protocols before writing their own.

I know that "Vanity Addresses" are a common thing for onion sites, and there are tools which generate tons of keys looking for prefixes. I haven't seen such a tool for ssh host keys though.

I put newlines in my filenames to break both CLI tools and Windows filesystems

Taking courses which involve subjects that you will likely never encounter in the workforce is a thing in every discipline. Most engineers don't need to manually solve differential equations in their day jobs, they just need to know that they exist and will often require numerical solutions.

Getting your hands dirty with the content provides a better understanding when dealing with higher level concepts.

zsh-syntax-highlighting

There's also a fork called fast-syntax-highlighting, I use it.

Optional crash reporting was merged. Most of the backlash in the PR is about the significant dependencies (Google's BreakPad) which were pulled in with it.

However, by default Audacity isn't built with it, you need to specify a CMake with the URL to send data to. No distros that I know of enable reporting.

Judging purely on the dependencies I see in pacman, nsxiv depends on imlib2, which pulls in a lot of libraries, while imv links to a subset of those libraries directly.
