Where is nvim?

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

There's no Editor category.

[-] JoMomma@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago

Hmm I consider that coding... no?

[-] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago

Ya, but there's no other editors listed there either.

I've tried all the web browsers in that list (except readability-cli which I'm not sure what it even does).
None of them let me post on lemmy from the TTY, which is the functionality I'm looking for.

Lynx, Links, Elinks and w3m don't support JavaScript.

Browsh and Carbonyl can't be navigated without a mouse, and with gpm on a TTY, clicking on links doesn't work in both browsers.
So honestly, I have no idea what the latter 2 browsers are even supposed to do. If I'm in a graphical interface, I can just use Firefox.

I also tried Neonmodem Overdrive, which is a TUI fediverse browser. But I never could get it to show any posts.

So if anyone knows any option that lets you log into websites (or at least lemmy) without starting X/Wayland, please let me know.

TUIs are graphical interfaces. It's just that they use the terminal as their renderers instead of having their own.

It's just like WebApps, they use the browser as their renderer, but they are still graphical interfaces.

Sorry for apparently confusing some terms. But my point stands: If I don't have X or Wayland running, I can't click on links in Browsh or Carbonyl. And if I do have X or Wayland running, I can use Firefox or Chrome instead.

use the old.lemmy.sdf.org instance. works with links fine

[-] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

Holy shit it works with old.feddit.org (my home instance), too.
Thanks a lot, this was my internet white whale for over a year.

Text-Based User Interfaces (TUI; CLI)

48 readers
30 users here now

Forum for advanced users who grok the power of text-based apps, the advantage of tmux/GNU screen, the keyboard and who often find the mouse a hinderance to a fast workflow. A text-based UI is also a decent escape from enshitified resources.

This forum broadly covers tools, hacks, and advocacy of text-based environments.

Slightly marginally kind of related:
