I've been a happy owner of a Linux-phone since May, and this month I enjoyed using my Pinephone more than in other months. That's because I switched to a new "desktop environment". ## SWMO: Wayland for Simple X Mobile -This post is not meant to be a review of SWMO (I pronounce it 'Sway-mo', or 'swimmo', not that anyone asked). Battery life is fantastic; I'm thiking about putting my SIM card in here again. It's alpha quality software composed of many shell scripts, so hacking is easy and there's much to be fixed; I've already gotten my first patch applied. But my main area of focus has been on text input. +This post is not meant to be a review of SWMO (I pronounce it 'Sway-mo', or 'swimmo', not that anyone asked).

But my main area of focus has been on text input. -After I switched to phosh, I really got into using micro (the text editor) on kgx (the terminal emulator). I was disappointed that foot (default terminal emulator in swmo) didn't support touch-based mouse emulation, so I looked into using kgx. SXMO requires a parameter to set the title in the terminal emulator. kgx on master has this, but hasn't had a new release tagged. I looked for other terminal projects, and actually discovered the upstream project vte has a really nice sample application, already installed on my system (as vte-2.91)... long story short, some day in the future, swmo might support a vte-based terminal for the app menu. +After I switched to phosh, I really got into using micro (the text editor) on kgx (the terminal emulator).

None are very good, and that's mostly do to with delays to stop the menu from sucking up input. With the fastest one, I can type 20 emojis/second. If I have the time, maybe by next update it'll all be in one script, ready for consumption. 🐝 |
