[Hikari] May Desktop (Void) (programming.dev)

A minimal desktop setup.

Info:

Programs: Emacs, Devdocs, pfetch, imv
WM: Hikari
OS: Void linux
Art by: Escher
Dotfiles

Recently switched from Guix to Void, mostly because it's much simpler and I felt that my desktop didn't need the complexity of Guix.

is hikari good as a floating wm?

[–] mccd 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think it's very underrated. It has some features I really appreciate:

Tiling features when needed, W+l s tiles everything when I need it.
Great shortcuts, like go to next busy desktop, maximize height of window
Holding win reveals the title of the window.
Cursor follows active window

It matches my workflow very well.

Does it work well for you? I used cwm on X11 (fairly similar to Hikari), but last time I tried Hikari on Void I kept running into weird issues.

[–] mccd 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I'd say so.

The only issues I've had is that pinch-to-zoom and fractional scaling does not work (but easily solvable).

It looks like hikari developement has stalled a bit, are you using a fork or something like that? Great setup btw:)

Thanks! Hmm, could be that it has stalled, though it's working great for me so I don't really know if it's a problem. I'm using the main repo.
