03:36 <awesomerly> is focus-output-next supposed to go to the next tag or does it do something completely different

04:00 <awesomerly> im prolly gonna go offline so I won't see the answer

04:26 <guest30> Hey

04:26 <guest30> does river supports freesync?

04:27 <guest30> hello

10:51 <plumeus> Guest30, maybe https://github.com/swaywm/wlroots/issues/1406 is relevant

12:39 <Guest74> I am planning to start using modes for mappings. Does the mode reset to normal when one of its mappings is used? Will I need a separate mapping to return to normal mode instead? Thought I'd better ask before I end up with broken keybindings.

13:04 <leon-p> Guest74: no, modes do not automatically reset to normal

13:04 <leon-p> you'll have to have a dedicated map for that

13:05 <leon-p> self-resetting modes would be kinda neat for key-chords, though...

13:54 <Guest31> I have installed river; when i execute river, all I get is a blue background

13:54 <Guest31> Super + Enter doesn't even work

13:55 <Guest31> What to do

13:55 <angry_vincent> what if you do Super + Shift + Enter

13:56 <Guest31> naah,, nothing is happening

13:56 <plumeus> what terminal do you have installed?

13:56 <Guest31> foot

13:57 <plumeus> A blue background is expected behaviour if you don't have any status bars or a custom background

13:57 <Guest31> what to do now; i am using it in arch and vmware

13:58 <plumeus> you do see something like riverctl map Super Return spawn foot in your config, right?

13:58 <Guest31> one min

13:58 <plumeus> I would recommend virt-manager/GNOME Boxes/VirtualBox as a VM, although it shouldn't be related

13:59 <plumeus> I though vmware is proprietary

13:59 <Guest31> yess,

14:00 <Guest31> riverctl map normal super+shift return spawn foot

14:01 <plumeus> oh, then you obviously need to press Shift too... but idk why it's not working

14:01 <plumeus> maybe the keybind exists on your system and stealing the inputs from the VM

14:01 <Guest31> my right shift is used for releasing focus out of vm

14:02 <Guest31> but i was using left shift

14:02 <Guest31> let me try again

14:02 <Guest31> what the heck; worked this time

14:02 <plumeus> btw, you can run River inside a different TTY or run it inside an Xorg session, I think. But you might have other reasons for wanting to use a VM, I guess.

14:03 <Guest31> i'll try that, thankyou

15:12 <Guest74> @leon-p thanks

18:16 <awesomerly-says-> I asked this yesterday, but what do focus-output-next and send-to-output-next do?

18:39 <Guest74> awesomerly-says- Outputs are monitors. If you have multiple monitors, this is for switching to and moving windows to the other ones.

18:40 <awesomerly-says-> I see

18:42 <awesomerly-says-> and where does background-color appear?

19:12 <novakane> like a wallpaper if you don't have any software managing this

23:52 <p00f1> hey emacs says "you're trying to use emacs configured with pgtk under the x window system" if i open a file by clicking it in thunar

23:52 <p00f1> opening emacs using fuzzel doesn't have this probelm

23:53 <p00f1> how do i ensure gtk always uses wayland

23:54 <waleee> I'd guess it's because thunar is launched under xwayland

23:55 <p00f1> killing Xwayland with -9 kills the emacs window but not the thunar one

23:55 <waleee> not super surpising?

23:56 <p00f1> if thunar was under xwayland shouldnt it die too

23:56 <waleee> why would that have killed the xwayland server?

23:56 <waleee> both thunar and emacs would be client programs

23:57 <waleee> p00f1: afaik all xfce applications is written for x so you wouldn't be able to escape xwayland with thunar

23:58 <p00f1> noooooo

23:59 <waleee> you could probably ensure that the emacs launched from it is using wayland though

23:59 <waleee> (some manual editing of an .desktop file is probably needed)
