exactly, i think this is why right now if a someone were to ask me for a starting point to get into a WM environment--I'd say niri with noctalia. But for me, there is some joy in just writing my scripts with
grimandslurpand being able to do wacky things like automatically create a magic link on my local server, and my own domain to the screen shot that is accessible to the outside net.yea, one thing that just feels so good for me is being able to view multiple tags at once. So you can temporarily view tag
XandYtogether (so filling in a password, copying a command, or reading documentation), but then you don't have to reorganize you applications back into their "designated" work spaces/tags. Your "chat" and "terminal" can remain in their workspaces, but you can view them together briefly without having to move them back and forth. For me as someone who usually tries to abide to each activity has it's own workspace/tag, this work really well.Ohhhhhhh. That scratched something in my brain. The viewing multiple tags. That’s on the fly special workspaces. Or maybe dynamic would be the better word. Like any tag can become that floating workspace. Presumably you could script context awareness into that too…Okay okay. I will be giving River a try. I’m in the throes of refactoring my nix config, but once I’ve got something stable again I’ll make sure to break it by installing River!
