- MistaGobo 3y agoi3wm might be what you're looking for.
- godelski 3y agoThere's a bunch of things like i3wm. But I have to give a big warning. These are very addictive and you'll go down rabbit holes making your system beautiful and easy to use (for you and absolutely no one else) that you may lose lots of productivity (well... work productivity?). So caution, do not visit /r/unixporn and do not search tools like picom and rofi. Sure, the life looks glamorous but it is an addiction worse than MTG or Warhammer, albeit cheaper. Fuck it, who am I kidding, go for it.
- mpaepper 3y agoI use xmonad as a tiling wm, which I guess is quite similar to i3, but what I mean is that you can control all apps with vim like experience a la vimium. For example controlling gimp with vim key bindings. Does i3wm support that? It sounds like this app for windows does that.
- broscillator 3y agoPrograms that highly rely on their GUI are probably not the best for vim-like binds, imo they're the exception. And even if you did want that, you'd need a whole reimplementation from the program itself, to include modes.
- theblazehen 3y agoIt took a long time to get it there, but my current config hasn't changed significantly in ~5 years, and it works very effectively
- broscillator 3y agoSame, this is something they don't tell you. That the rabbit hole does have a bottom, and it's really comfortable down there!
- mpaepper 3y agoThis sounds a bit like it. Haven't tried it yet, though. https://github.com/phil294/vimium-everywhere https://github.com/phil294/vimium-everywhere
