[07:17] <cry0xen> imho he had a good point. it wouldve been nice if there was a default psudo-tiling setting(as a standard) came with openbox. popos provide this and so far its been quite appreciated by its user
[09:39] <arraybolt3> cry0xen: I also would like a feature like that. I one time got something similar almost working with keyboard shortcuts, but it looks like OpenBox needs some code modifications in order to make it work.
[09:39] <arraybolt3> (I one time saw a GitHub repo that I think was a modified OpenBox that could do that.)
[12:40] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> why do you do this to me? now I am introduced to this world and will never escape
[12:40] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> https://vickychijwani.me/blazing-fast-application-switching-in-linux/
[12:45] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> It looks like ALT+TAB is not as good as I thought. But, in the meanwhile: I want to switch apps which are only in my current desktop and screen. I have the relevant options selected in the configuration of the task manager:
[12:46] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/4f25583b/file_8757.jpg
[12:46] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> however ALT+TAB still shows me programs running in my Desktop nr. 2
[12:48] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> It tells me that it is on Desktop 2, though : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/957411b3/file_8758.jpg
[12:49] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> I need to cycle *only* among the programs running in the current desktop and current screen
[12:49] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> what am I missing?
[13:11] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> You would need to change the openbox configuration to change the behavior of alt-tab switching. The dialog above only deals with the panel task manager. (re @Rodrigo: what am I missing?)
[13:23] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> Thanks, but exactly where? (re @kc2bez: You would need to change the openbox configuration to change the behavior of alt-tab switching. The dialog above only deals with the panel task manager.)
[13:23] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> I don't see an option for behavior : https://matterbridge.lubuntu.me/632bb350/file_8759.jpg
[13:24] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> Right, I don't think it is exposed in the GUI configuration tool. I think it is necessary to hand edit the configuration file.
[13:25] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> ok thanks, I will search how to do that
[13:25] <lubot> [telegram] <kc2bez> I am not sure off the top of my head how to do that. I would have to look it up too.
[13:25] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> although I swear it worked fine in my previous installations
[13:29] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> I found `<!-- Keybindings for window switching -->
[13:29] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> `in my config file (.config/openbox/rc.xml)
[13:29] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> I will play a bit with that. I assume I have to log in for the changes to impact, right?
[13:32] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> and found the documentation to change it:
[13:32] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#NextWindow (re @Rodrigo: I found <!-- Keybindings for window switching -->
[13:32] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> in my config file (.config/openbox/rc.xml))
[13:33] <lubot> [telegram] <Rodrigo> wow, it's so wonderful that I can actually customize so many behaviors and details, I love Linux 😀

[13:43] <lubot> [telegram] <Roberalz> Thanks (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <cry0xen> https://github.com/capn-damo/Openbox-tiling)
[13:44] <cry0xen> there are few thousands more available on the net. google openbox tiling
[15:58] <cry0xen> i didnt know dd command could create bootable usb. what a discovery
[15:59] <cry0xen> i still miss rufus though :|
[17:01] <tomreyn> cry0xen: maybe you would enjoy balena etcher. also, "rufus" actually has a "dd mode" which tries to resemble what "dd" does (not the other way around ;-) )
[17:02] <cry0xen> yeah have the etcher appimage as well as ventoy
[17:02] <cry0xen> its amaizing what a simple commandline can do
[17:03] <cry0xen> *amazing
[17:04] <cry0xen> tomryen does lubuntu have any gtk app/dependencies or its completely lean with kde & Qt
[17:11] <tomreyn> cry0xen: i do not know this. i suspect no gtk dependencies, but not sure.
[17:26] <cry0xen> Kindly can anyone pls answer this. the answer will impact my usage behaviour for a very long time
[17:27] <cry0xen> however no hate intended towards anything
[22:27] <genii> cry0xen: The default suite of applications do not make use of gtk, however, if you want to use Firefox, it will pull in the gtk dependencies required for that, since there is no Qt based version of Firefox
[22:28] <genii> This also applies to whatever applications you install outside of the default suite which lubuntu-desktop has
[22:28] <genii> ( if the application you install requires gtk things, it will install them as dependencies)
