Do you use only full screen browser windows? I got the feeling that TST doesn't play nice with narrower windows as it requires a lot of horizontal space. I've got 10 browser windows on 5 different desktops now (8 Firefox, 1 Vivaldi, 1 Chrome). Only 3 of them are full screen, one per browser. The window I'm currently typing it is wide about 2/3 of the screen and it's probably twice as wide as it should be to read HN (the lines are too long to read comfortably.) My screen is 15.6", 16:9.
- bloopernova 5y agoI've gotten used to the full screen (or width) windows. Mostly it's because of certain work web UIs that need as much width as possible. I agree with your statement that wide text is difficult to read. In Emacs I use Olivetti mode to narrow my text windows, I should probably do something similar for hackernews or other sites that would benefit from narrower windows. In Firefox, there's reader mode too, which makes things much easier to see.
- pmontra 5y agoThanks for the hint to Olivetti mode. I usually either split the frame horizontally (C-x 3) to look at multiple buffers side to side or narrow the window. Long lines are bad for programming too.
