06:34 <dnkl> WhyNotHugo: besides quitting the shell or whatever application you're running in the terminal? Nothing that comes to mind...

06:34 <dnkl> maybe OSC-52 (clipboard access)

08:05 <armin> dnkl: there's this one feature i keep "kitty" installed for: "kitty list-fonts". is there something like this in foot?

08:06 <dnkl> what exactly does it do?

08:08 <armin> dnkl: it lists installed fonts in a terminal, nothing special, just shows a nicely formatted list of, uhm, font-names!

08:08 <armin> dnkl: i've never found another way to do exactly that, i believe?

08:09 <dnkl> just use fc-list?

08:09 <armin> dnkl: that's a bit chaotic compared to the "kitty list-fonts" output (which is grouped by the parent font or something, shown in green, and without the full path name of the .ttf file)

08:10 <armin> but yup, works.

08:10 <armin> hm, doesn't output the font name in exactly the syntax i can use in foot.ini

08:10 <dnkl> should be possible to either format there output with fc-list options, or cut/sed/awk the output a bit (and maybe wrap it in a script)

08:11 <armin> ah it does!

08:12 <dnkl> yes, output is usable as-is in foot.ini (minus path to font file, obviously)

08:13 <dnkl> there's also an undocumented --format option to fc-list

08:19 <dnkl> "fc-list | cut -d ':' -f 2- | sort | uniq" is pretty close to a "nicely formatted" list ;)

08:19 <armin> i'm doing *exactly* that right now

08:19 <armin> e.g. --format="%{family[0]}" and so on

08:23 <armin> fc-list --format="$(tput setaf 4)%{family[0]} $(tput setaf 2)%{family[1]} $(tput setaf 3)%{style[0]} $(tput setaf 5)%{style[1]}\n"

08:23 <armin> is the closest i got

08:23 <armin> heh :)

08:26 <dnkl> armin: pretty! :D

08:27 <dnkl> there's also a pango utility that lists fonts in a more formatted way

08:27 <armin> pangoooooooooo!

08:27 <dnkl> but the names aren't in fontconfig style

08:27 <armin> is that what kitty list-fonts also utilizes?

08:27 <dnkl> so not copy-pastable in foot

08:27 <dnkl> no idea

08:29 <armin> dnkl: also how stupid is the idea of having text shadows in a terminal emulator?

08:31 <armin> i remember the enlightenment terminal emulator for e16 had that?

08:31 <armin> yes, Eterm, the terminal emulator with no utf-8 support!

08:33 <armin> ultraskeuomorphism3d, that was the "future" back then.

08:40 <cc0> hehe somehow i hoped that this command would display each line in its own font

08:41 <armin> cc0: there are some graphical applications that do this, but i believe that's not possible from a terminal.

08:50 <dnkl> armin: cc0: hb-view has sixel support...

08:51 <dnkl> as to whether drop shadows makes sense... I guess there are people who'd like it, but most don't.

08:51 <dnkl> in any case, it's not something foot will support

08:55 <dnkl> re hb-view and sixel: more precisely, they can optionally use chafa. They appear to use the library, not exec:ing the chafa binary (so needs to be built against libchafa)

09:00 <dnkl> "hb-view --background=002b36ff --foreground=839496 /usr/share/fonts/OTF/FantasqueSansMono-Regular.otf

09:01 <dnkl> "hb-view --background=002b36ff --foreground=839496 /usr/share/fonts/OTF/FantasqueSansMono-Regular.otf test && printf "\n""

09:01 <dnkl> looks decent enough (on solarized-dark)

09:26 <armin> dnkl: nice! thank you!

09:54 <WhyNotHugo> Actually, foot has ctrl+shift+u to open links, which could be abused in a kiosk setup to open a browser.

10:10 <dnkl> WhyNotHugo: you can disable it though, by setting url.launcher in foot.ini.

10:10 <dnkl> you'd also want to do the same for all other utilities foot may execute (notifications come to mind)

12:27 <cc0> dnkl: are you aware of any way to display video content in a terminal?

12:28 <dnkl> cc0: mpv has a sixel backend. I think chafa can do it too. And then there's ncplayer from notcurses.

12:29 <dnkl> note that sixel videos are pretty slow, especially at higher resolutions
