I have been interested in this project for a while now. That somebody has now added to the documentation: "Nyxt is a browser with deeply integrated AI" Made me entirely lose interest. It sounds like it could be a privay problem I did however dig deep to figure out what their EULA and whatnotstates. (or the code)

Classical AI, not the bullshit parroter.

I still find it confusing - was that a thing, historically, that the mere use of Common Lisp meant that the thing written in Common Lisp was considered "AI"? I thought it was a general-purpose, high-level language, that was sometimes used for projects which might be called Artificial Intelligence projects, depending on the whims of authors.

Or is something more specific being referred to?

https://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/inspiration.html That's linked to from the ratpoison page, I enjoyed reading it a few years ago, it hasn't gotten any less funny in the meantime. Why did I ever leave ratpoison...

gold. thank you for this. as regards ratpoison, have you looked at stumpwm?

No, but I've been meaning to get around to trying it out! Is it wonderful?

Fortunately GTK. Contributing manual only says that Electron support is experimental.

Cool, thanks. So there is the flatpak version, the Electron version, and the GTK version? Is there an easy way to install the native GTK version on recent Debian(+backports)? Or only "make && make install"?

Install Nix and you can launch Nyxt, and many other things, without even installing them in Debian.

In case of Nyxt, once Nix is installed, just run nix run nixpkgs#nyxt.

Huh, you're right. I thought it only kept record of the last visit to any URL, because that's what it shows in the GUI, but the DB does have prior records... It's weird how they went through the trouble of hiding entries in the GUI.

What do you mean with hiding? There is a whole submenu for history, with multiple different interfaces for navigating the history. For me it's right under bookmarks in the app-menu/burger-menu, or in the sidebar.

If you're on site foo, then go to bar, then baz, then bar again. The history GUI, whether the sidebar or the history manager (Ctrl-Shift-h), is not going to show foo, bar, baz, bar. It's going to show foo, baz, bar. The first time you went to bar is hidden. It's present in the DB, but no part of the GUI AFAICT is going to mention a visit to bar between visits to foo and baz.

I've used this browser for a long time. At first, it was very promising, but later on, I found it quite distracting when I needed to work, so I had to give up. If you enjoy the vim-style feel of operation, you might want to try this browser's extension, as it can accommodate your habits along with normal web browsing. Of course, I still hope that the browser can improve, and I will try downloading it again to use for…

I am using Vimium all the time. It's so ingrained in my muscle memory that I do not remember the key combinations anymore.

I feel I could use it more. I use the link jumping all the time, but that's basically it. What other features do you guys use?

Do you use multiple desktops? Windows seems terrible at positioning windows, I can't work out how to tell a window to move to the next desktop, say, or just start on a particular desktop (nevermind start at a particular position). Instead it takes a lot of mouse work just to setup after a boot/reboot. Do you have a solution? I'm stuck with native solutions, otherwise I gather this can be fixed with AHK. I'm intereste…

I've never seen the point of multiple desktops, but I went and found out the answer to the first question anyway. You hold down win+tab, a nice layout appears showing all your windows and all your desktops, and you drag a window to a desktop. I notice you can also reorder the desktops: right click (while holding win+tab), select "move left". Maybe it will then boot into whichever one's leftmost.

Yes, I already use win+tab, but that is quite a lot of mouse work, what I was hoping for was shortcuts like KDE has 'move app to next desktop', or even better there was some hidden menu or trick to get apps to open on the desktop I want them to live on.
