<n8r>
has anyone attempted something like virtual scrolling? i.e. using keyboard and/or mouse buttons to cause scrolling
<talismanick>
n8r: In a particular app? Emacs sort-of has that because mouse buttons are "just another key" and every key is bound to a scriptable, macro-friendly function (like Logo), but the hard part is modern scrolling in Emacs
<talismanick>
For Firefox, EXWM and Stumpwm can intercept keypresses and translate them to something else (because Firefox is unfriendly to Emacs keys internally), but I've been told you can do the same with a combination of WM keybindings and xdotool (never tried it, though)
<talismanick>
Oh, I thought I was still in #voidlinux, woops
<talismanick>
(that's why I wanted user testimonies about wtype or ydotool, which are the xdotools equivlents)

besides VT switching, are there any hard-coded key bindings? where in the river code do those live?
<bw>
any other*
<leon-p>
nope
<leon-p>
no other hardcoded bindings

Other than here and GitHub issues, where can I ask questions? SO tag?
<talismanick>
(idk if they would remove that - Reddit, maybe?)
<talismanick>
Pleroma, maybe??? Always wanted to try that; wish I could ditch Reddit for an ActivityPub alternative
<novakane>
there is no other place afaik
<leon-p>
well, there is r/riverwm, just I don't think anybody really hangs out there (I certainly don't). I think there is also a matrix room which is bridged to here.
<leon-p>
for general, non river specific questoins, r/sway is also fine, since we share (most of) the ecosystem
<leon-p>
the best place really is on irc. it's pretty active and all people who probably do know the answer are here, even if they take a minute or two longer to respond.
<talismanick>
leon-p: It's that I don't want to waste people's time by asking the same question until it gets an answer
<talismanick>
Reddit has this problem too, but it's less dicey timing a question with when someone who may answer is active
<leon-p>
talismanick: you don't have to ask more than once, this channel is logged and modern IRC has backlog as well
<talismanick>
(there's generally a dearth of platforms organized by topic/content rather than time posted)
<leon-p>
so when I come on in the moringin, I see everything you posted while I as asleep :)
<leon-p>
*morning, *was
<leon-p>
topic/content related platforms have the disadvantage that you have to maintain them
<leon-p>
also they take effort to populate. if someone asks here, I can just say "maybe look here, but IDK https://whatever.whatever"

leon-p how do you search the logs?
<NickH_>
The only semi-resonable way that I've found is to point a search engine at site:libera.irclog.whitequark.org but that also searches through the logs of all the other channesl.
<NickH_>
Damn, just discovered that it has it's own search functionality, that is actually pretty good.
<NickH_>
Guess that is how!
<leon-p>
:D
<NickH_>
I wonder if it may be worthwhile explictily mentioning the IRC search feature in the river README.
<NickH_>
I know it would have save me a bunch of time.
<NickH_>
r maybe just in the wiki as an FAQ about where to look for help
