Wow, a bug with @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology ??v

Though I'll be real: looking forward to when florisboard adds support for this.

@bunni
Anysoftkeyboard has had swipe-typing for quite some time now. See "Enable gesture-typing [BETA]" in the Gestures setting page.

@purism
Why does it look like a sim card? Is that slot just for smart cards?

@govynnus
Do you play it with a controller, or on a keyboard? How are controls configured (where is the jump button, and where is the dash button)?

@randomgeek
How???

Pocket Paint is the only painting/image manipulation android app I recommend.
I especially love layers, and how the bucket fill uses transparent colors.
The only feature which is lacking is semi-transparent image masking.

When I start using a new program, usually I spend some time changing the keyboard shortcuts to what I'm used to. This sometimes involves learning a new configuration file format. In the case of ~rabbits/left, it was very easy, as the 'configuration' is just a couple of functions in the c source code.

@akkartik
Though `git remote add akkartik https://git.sr.ht/~akkartik/left; git remote add zach https://git.sr.ht/~earboxer/left` is still decentralized, has fewer context switches, cuts out email *and* code review. The only issue is scaling for many contributors :P

@neauoire
Yeah, it feels better than any terminal based text editor. Big props to SDL. Though, since I'm using a trackpad, not sure if it will be as good using a mouse scrollwheel.
@akkartik

@neauoire
Something wrong with your current git state?
(Maybe try `git rebase --abort` first or `git stash`? Otherwise, the file in the .git directory maybe could just be removed).
@akkartik

@neauoire
e.g. after I added scroll wheel support (https://lists.sr.ht/~rabbits/public-inbox/patches/16432), I've been able to use left for general purpose editing, rather than another editor.
