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.

@neauoire
When did you start using left to edit left.c?
Has it fully replaced your primary editor, at least for editing left?

@neauoire
At what point (commit hash?) did it get to where new commits are written in it?

@whtrbt
Wait, you guys have fancy schpancy chr editors?
I've just been using txt2chr (https://git.sr.ht/~earboxer/chr2txt2chr), plus my new favorite text editor:
@neauoire

Are full-color (four color) chr fonts a planned feature, or is that something I'll have to maintain in my own fork?

@cwbuckm @neauoire
I've translated the first 50 lines from ocr output into readable C code.
https://paste.sr.ht/~earboxer/2449dab51a56e8d0c1f38ea60b98e9a82eef5223
Maybe somebody wants to do the next 50 lines?

@cwbuckm
It's almost all there in the gif! And it's already open source... We just need to reconstruct like 200 lines...

@mario_afk
Micro doesn't implement text rendering, but depends on your terminal emulator to do that.

Recently added support for SVG chord symbols on my chordbook gemsite.
As it turns out, many gui #gemini clients (deedum, lagrange, amfora) have atrocious svg support

Probably will look into it for lagrange in the future.

Today, I calculated the meter of each 'letter' of #psalm119 using https://github.com/christian-classics-ethereal-library/hyphenator
The word "blessed" is counted as one syllable, but we can make it split it into two.

By now, most websites are 'mobile friendly', but don't look good on 200×200px displays, such as smartwatches. We need to design for the least common denominator, after all.
