first impressions, discussions #127

Hi @jbuchermn! I played around with newm for 30 minutes or so today, and I'm impressed from a HCI design perspective as well as with the level of completeness and polish the project already shows.

I sense that we are interested in exploring overlapping subsets of the graphical shell solution space, and I love that you spun off pywm, since I am very interested in creating my own compositor as a testbed for some context-driven shell ideas.

First impressions:

Issues:

Styling:

I still need to work through getting my session/environment set up, and I'm hoping after that everything I need to will be working and I can try using it for a longer session.

Hi you could try to try my settings, I also use keyd. in the case of the edge of sale is something you can remove, I did not hear it before now if I use it

Shifting focus with Mod+[hjklunt] seems uncomfortably laggy

I created a gitter community: https://gitter.im/jbuchermn-newm/community# Let's see how this works, I've never used that before. :)

(re: @CRAG666 I'm going to drop keyd. While there are some limited use cases where global input overrides make sense, straight key remapping is the only one I care about, and I already do that via a set of udev rules. Most of what keyd does would make more sense as a library embedded in your shell etc IMO.)
