@zachdecook What a coincidence 🚀 I have to admit that this was the first time I used swipe input (my previous phone had a hardware keyboard)

@dubstar_04 @zachdecook Swiping the spacebar to position the cursor in unaffected by this as the OSK switches to a different "mode" for that.

- @zachdecook's swipeGuess: https://git.sr.ht/~earboxer/swipeGuess
- phosh-osk-stub's pipe completer: https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/76
- you also need https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/phosh-osk-stub/-/merge_requests/77 to avoid having to lift your finger

Ever since doing the initial completion support in #phosh 's osk-stub I wanted to add a generic "unix pipe" like completer. phosh-osk-stub would feed the program preedit on stdin and read the completions from the program's stdout.

That is there now and with that and some more changes I can use @zachdecook 's #swipeGuess to do swipe like typing. To be clear: all the hard work is done by swipeGuess, phosh-osk-stub just piggy backs on it:

@kyle A great read. Thanks!

@kyle 🎉 Congratulations to getting this out!

Is there a "sample chapter" for people to peek at? So one can get a feel about the text to example ratio, typeface, how distro agnostic it is, etc.

@ibrahim @purism @tbernard Thanks for the kind words.

@twiclo mpv has way, way more features and I use it a lot on the desktop.

µPlayer doesn't even try to compete but rather to be mobile and touch friendly.

Playback speed was on the list of things to add so I added that (https://gitlab.gnome.org/guidog/livi/-/merge_requests/3, needs some styling) and I tripped on a phoc bug in fullscreen and fixed that as well.

@ibrahim @linmob squeekoard not showing up could be triggered by the fact that it's a convertible and hence enters docked mode. Check the "Docked" quicksetting (and turn of if it's on) or alternatively `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled true`

@ibrahim @primalmotion I've used phosh on a convertible for a long time (but then the hardware broke) but am still using it on my laptop daily.

@ibrahim @primalmotion

1. Doesn't unfold? Doesn't show at all? How did you install it? Both squeekboard and phosh-osk-stub are used on different form factors from phone to touch enabled laptops.

2.: you can use a bit of CSS to make parts transparent similar to https://social.librem.one/@agx/109875125645959859

4. You can "organize" things by moving them to favorites. Not yet great but works.

5. The cursor is hidden on touch only devices. If there's a mouse / trackbal attached it's shown.

6. That can be turned off.

@kyle the nice thing about #notmuch (even if using only INBOX) is it's speed.

@kyle I think the litmus test if a email flow has improved is to check with the people you *interact* with if they notice any difference. Otherwise it might have improved for you but not the people you correspond with 😃 .

#notmuch has been a great help for me to find emails, works nicely in mutt (https://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2011/01/how_to_use_Notmuch_with_Mutt/)

Now that I know Thomas' fediverse handle:
