Outdated parts in the manual #59

Closed jcguu95 closed 4 years ago

jcguu95 commented 4 years ago

Disclaimer: I'm not using the latest voidrice of yours.

Mod+Backspace does not bring up a list of options.
The statusbar script is claimed to be located in ~/.local/bin/statusbar/, which does not exist in my laptop, nor in the current voidrice repo.
Default file browser lf still lacks of a tutorial (invoked by Mod+F2).
`Mod+`` does not work for me. Perhaps I need to get your collections of emojis?
Mod+D does not bring up root terminal.

all of those things are in the current repo

Is strange that the statusbar does not exist on your system, but that folder is in the voidrice repo.

And i agree with this Mod+` not working. I had to change it to the "|" key since i don't use a us keyboard layout and the is not comfortable to use. I would move the key to somewhere else.

Well, it is actually true that the root terminal doesn't come up, because I removed that bind. I've fixed the documentation. Everything else, yeah, you should actually install the dotfiles before deciding if they're not working...

I've never done a video on lf, so there is none there.

Oh.. just woke up in the morning and now my post seems to be complaining.. sorry if that's the impression! I just hope this post helps to capture some potential frustrations when more people join the party.

Thanks for pointing out that those are all in the repo!

Some fix for those who stop following Luke's ricing setup.

statusbar can be found here and here.
For Mod+Backspace to work, one needs another little script sysact, which can be found here. Put it in a PATH for it to work.
For emojis to work, add the collection to ~/.local/share/larbs.
