Luke T. Shumaker<p>A few years ago I did a quick analysis of my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bash</span></a> histfile and horrified my coworkers that `<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/git" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>git</span></a> rebase` was my most frequently used command.</p><p>It&#39;s not on top, but It&#39;s still in the top 10. (I think gitk getting so much higher up is that with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Emacs</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/EXWM" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EXWM</span></a> I loose track of windows more than I did with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/WMII" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WMII</span></a>, so I just open a new one, and end up with 15 open gitk windows before I realize this and run `killall wish`).</p><p>(HISTSIZE is set to 50,000 commands, which comes out to about 8 months)</p>
nm0i<p>I really miss <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/wmii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wmii</span></a> 's ability to send windows to several workspaces in <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/i3wm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>i3wm</span></a> sometimes.</p>
JauntyWunderKind<p>i barely used <a href="https://cybre.space/tags/wmii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wmii</span></a>'s <a href="https://cybre.space/tags/9p" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>9p</span></a> interface, back in the day. but i think i need to go back &amp; live in that world for a little bit. re-experience it, &amp; learn the interface, see how it worked. ideally do a couple <a href="https://cybre.space/tags/streams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>streams</span></a> walking through it a little. to inform my web-shell interests. cross the recent <a href="https://cybre.space/tags/TabFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TabFS</span></a> greatness.</p><p>i 'd love to find a good discussion on what i3 (window manager improved improved improved) changed, in their core architecture, as they forked/rebuild wmii. why i3? what happened there? did the desire for a new custom text protocol drive that change? or was that incidental? what about the core ui was different to users?</p>
