Everyone has there own workflows so are there any special keybindings that you use on a daily basis that you can't live without. Let me know down below
I have 2 instances of sxhkd running. One that is generic and has all none bspwm specific commands (mostly dmenu and opening apps). Then I have another running to a bspwm.sxhkd config file with all my bspwm specific commands. As far as I can tell there are no problems running multiple instances of sxhkd.
Best CLI content on TH-cam. I've been slaved to gui for many decades. And your content is very liberating. Guis are ruining this planet to the core. Tks for liberating us all, man!
Thanks I really appreciate it, you guys don't see it but I cut out so many mistakes. If I did an Luke Smith style vlog it would be full of jump cuts or just be impossible to watch.
I am trying your scripts and have included them in sxhkdrc but I've to give absolute path to the scripts, I've added my scripts directory to the path variable but still it doesn't work unless I give absolute path, how do give only script name instead of absolute path?
@@BrodieRobertson it's not working unless I give it absolute path. My zshrc has export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Scripts, the scripts work with terminal but not sxkhd.
I recently switches to Bspwm ( but I'm gonna switch to something other) but here's a solution I found to hide polybar when in fullscreen xdo below - t $(xdo id -n root) $(xdo id -a bspwm-poly) Everything thing must be same except the last word *bspwm-poly* that should be the name of your polybar. How to find name of polybar? Either goto polybar configs and find wmname or something or use xwininfo Hope this helps you..
I can't find the scripts in your GitHub repo. Could you make those available? Also, I need to run `xdo close` twice for an application to close, and the keybind doesn't work at all, do you have any idea what that might be?
Very useful vídeo, Brodie! I have a question: what are you using to show the Brave, Discord and OBS icons on the top bar? Thank you, keep up the good work!

I did never really realize that "bug" according the fullscreen mode. But I agree, so I wrote a script, that toggles fullscreen in a more conventional manner. In case you are still interested, here you go: gitlab.cs.fau.de/yp98ocaw/configs/blob/e7e756cad9e10e76ce249fa9e2acc78b3d9a0441/scripts/fullscreen_single To use it just call it with your keyboard shortcut of choice to toggle. When using sxhkd you don't need to use & btw. sxhkd runs the applications in the background nevertheless. When using something different, you might need to add & though, as the script blocks while in fullscreen mode. Also you might need to replace the statusbar in the script, as I am using polybar.

@@emperorpicard6474 you're right it'll only die if you try to overlap any keybindings

Your videos are amazing. More Boomer rants in the woods and you might become my favorite channel.

As I am new to bspwm, this is a very useful video.

As long as the script directory is in your path variable it should be able to work?
@@BrodieRobertson it's not working unless I give it absolute path. My zshrc has export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Scripts, the scripts work with terminal but not sxkhd.
@Joao Fonseca I had my scripts directory in my path variable but it still didn't work so I moved all scripts to ~/.local/bin and now it works fine :)

How to find name of polybar?
Either goto polybar configs and find wmname or something or use xwininfo
Hope this helps you..
I've put something together since this video came out that does the job.
I can't find the scripts in your GitHub repo. Could you make those available? Also, I need to run `xdo close` twice for an application to close, and the keybind doesn't work at all, do you have any idea what that might be?
They're in a repo, pinned on my account literally called scripts. I haven't run across that problem myself, it's always worked first shot for me.
Very useful vídeo, Brodie!
I have a question: what are you using to show the Brave, Discord and OBS icons on the top bar?
Thank you, keep up the good work!
Polybar has a built in system tray that I use
@@BrodieRobertson Nice thank you! I Will check your videos on polybar.
I only have one question, how can I find the names of my Keys. Like how can I know that sxhkd uses control not Control_L or ctrl or Ctrl
The reason why I'm asking this is because my numpad keys are not working
Please upload your configs. They look brilliant
All of them are on my Github
@@BrodieRobertson thanks for rapid reply. May I have you contact info so that I would be able to answer a couple of questions to you bro?
This is what I use courtesy of Erik Dubois:
case "$1" in
lock)
slimlock
;;
logout)
i3-msg exit
;;
suspend)
systemctl suspend
;;
hibernate)
systemctl hibernate
;;
reboot)
systemctl reboot
;;
shutdown)
systemctl poweroff
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {lock|logout|suspend|hibernate|reboot|shutdown}"
exit 2
esac
exit 0
Oh that's cool, it would simplify my config a bit
