<glitch-hat>
yeah, I use Spectacle currently
<glitch-hat>
it doesn't really compare to i3 though
<glitch-hat>
I have decided to go with the totally predictable solution of dual-booting
<gkatsev>
of course it doesn't compare to a full blown tiling wm
<gkatsev>
but spectacle is pretty great for what it does

<ELLIOTTCABLE>
hi all!
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
glitch-hat: i3?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
spectacle?
<glitch-hat>
yeah I love it]
<glitch-hat>
spectacle is a window manager for OSX
<glitch-hat>
includes lots of nice shortcuts for moving stuff around
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ugh one of those full-size-but-half window tools?
<glitch-hat>
lol
<purr>
lol
<gkatsev>
it's not a wm
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I cannot fathom why there are two dozen of those damn things.
<gkatsev>
it's a tool to move windows around
<glitch-hat>
yeah, you're right
<glitch-hat>
*i3* is a real wm
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
none of them give me what I want out of the ‘tiling’ feature of a real WM; and nowadays, they're *especailly* silly 'cuz OS X fullscreen is excellent
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
why i3? I had a long love-affair with awesomewm way back when
<glitch-hat>
if you have multiple screens, how do you move stuff from one to the other?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
before I realized Linux is a pile of idiotic shit
<glitch-hat>
i3 basically because it is so easy yet so hackable
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
ludicrous. I love it.
<glitch-hat>
like tmux
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
glitch-hat: move stuff from one to the other? huh?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
you mean on OS X? like ... the normal way, or are we talking about something else
<glitch-hat>
ELLIOTTCABLE: sorry, I mean how do you move one window from one screen to another?
<glitch-hat>
without using Spectacle, I don't think there's a way to do it
<glitch-hat>
without the mouse
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
oh lol
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I don't use keyboard for window-management stuff, because all of my high-powered *work* is inside further nested ‘window managers’
<glitch-hat>
(btw I'm on a train so will disappear at some point)
<glitch-hat>
ah yes, the nested status bars...
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
either Vim or a Tmux session are each given full control over an entire physical screen whenever I'm working, basically
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
so I've never worried about that
<glitch-hat>
makes sense
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
I use the mouse for moving *actual windows* around
<glitch-hat>
yeah I'm all about the #mousefree lifestyle
<gkatsev>
but using the mouse is so ineeficient. You have to move your hand all the way to the mouse
<glitch-hat>
gkatsev gets it
<glitch-hat>
(also it turns out #mousefree is an actual hashtag, roughly split half and half between keyboard shortcut tweets and people scared of mice in their homes)
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
here's what my computer usually looks like:
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
quick, teach me five geographical stereotypes that I don't know about, so I can grok the references in all the British TV and written fiction I consume!
<glitch-hat>
okay!
<glitch-hat>
Tunbridge Wells
<glitch-hat>
it's where letters to newspapers are traditionally from
<glitch-hat>
"disgruntled in Tunbridge Wells"
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
like, small-town?
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
hahhah
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
is that like a distant rural town, or a suburb of somewhere big?
<glitch-hat>
yeah, small-town but in a very British way
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
TIL
<ELLIOTTCABLE>
you are useful please stick around

okay your computer photos have loaded about 1/5 of the way
<glitch-hat>
I can see... a microphone?
<glitch-hat>
also you use light themes for everything!
<glitch-hat>
this is why I love looking at other people's setups
<glitch-hat>
mainly to learn things, but also just to marvel at how different people's working environments can be
<glitch-hat>
okay I'm at Waterloo now
<glitch-hat>
(Waterloo is one of the main rail terminals in London, connecting to Surrey and the south-west)

glitch-hat: I have a global hotkey on my system to:

1. change OS X menubars to dark-theme,

2. change all open Terminal windows from Solarized-Light to Solarized-Dark,
<ec^>
3. change all open MacVim windows from lightbg to darkbg,

that is also triggered automatically at chronological sunset, the same time that f.lux starts to operate
