#fbdev #vconsole #unimap #fbcon #keymaps #codepages … 3 hours of unproductive time wasted on research why one machine uses code page 437 (the Linux default code page for #tty) and the other machine doesn’t.

It is mentioned on several pages, that the default is #CP437, and how I can change this default, but it seems like a mystery or forbidden knowledge WHY it is changed, without me actively changing it.

It might have to do with the screen resolutions of those two devices, or that one is an #Intel #GPU and the other is #Nvidia. But i was not able to find anything of value.

Oh #fuck this shit.

#ModernLinuxProblems #MagicBullshit

Can the system please let ME be in control and not doing seemingly undocumented random shit that is not represented in any configuration and feels like it’s hidden in a blackbox?

That would be great, thanks.

Probably the one thing I dislike about #emacs is the severely restricted number of first-order #keystrokes reserved for the user. Like the Fn keys and C-c-[[:alpha:]]. The sheet number of additional #keymaps I have to have in order to gateway to my own personal functionality.. yggh. 🙄

I love emacs notwithstanding, and always have. I have a video clip I should post..

My #i3 #keymaps are #emacs-ish, in fact. To start it up in #workspace 10, for instance, I type

Super--e Super-F10

To switch to that was (if emacs is running or not)

Super--e F10

To start it but pop up a #Zenity query 1st to ask for emac' WD to be set first,

Super--e Super-S-F10

Replace 'e' with 't' and it does #urxvt instead of emacs.

So (continued on next rock)...

This is awesome, never heard of it before.
