@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh my goodness, hahaha!

To be fair, it depends on your threat model. And I believe it’s very safe to bet that most probably don’t have one. Nor even remotely know what that is. So, it’s plenty good enough for them.

With that new to me detail on top, there’s even less incentive to look at this Matrix hype more closely.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Und da konnte ich nicht widerstehen und hab die Folge doch sogleich angehört. Herrlich, sehr kurzweilig, spannend und lehrreich. In der Tat ganz schön viele Arschgesichter, hihihi. ;-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, cool! Holgi hab ich schon jahrelang nimmer gehört (allgemein Podcasts), das sollte ich schleunigst wieder ändern. Diese Folge scheint mir als Wiedereinstieg nach dem arbeitsreichen Wochenende bestens geeignet. Insbesondere die „Holgi ruft an“-Reihe hab ich in sehr guter Erinnerung.

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Haha, nice. Yeah, I also only know older Giselas. Not sure why that name fell out of fashion this dramatically, though. Be that as it may, this hot greenfinch girl will help to repopularize it again!

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, almost everybody sells their soul to some form of devil. So did I. :-D

@bender@twtxt.net Thank you. I just got very lucky, though. Anyway, let me introduce you to Gisela. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @bender@twtxt.net Yeah, super sweet. :-) I was lucky to capture this beautie again today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/gruenfink-2026-05-06/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right, they messed up the signing key rotation: https://blog.denic.de/technische-storung-bei-de-domains-behoben/

All sorts of .de domains don’t resolve right now. But not all, movq.de for example still works. All on our server and basically all major other sites are cactus. Maybe some DENIC problem? I’m too tired to investigate, but I’m looking forward to tomorrow to read some report on that. :-) Good night.

@bender@twtxt.net Let me offer some cheese to @xuu@txt.sour.is. :-)

This greenfinch isn’t all that green:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see, thank you. Maybe I remember next time. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Aww, this is beautiful! Too many people for me, but they’re cetainly great to show the scale. Quite some impressive falls. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, nice! I never was brave enough to try to move the OS to a different machine, always reinstalled from scratch. :-S

A mate also had this or a very similar white Samsung netbook. I remember typing on that thing was no fun at all for me, never hit the single right key. :-D

I’m not a fan of netbooks, there’s not remotely enough screen space for my taste. I always had 15 inch notebook. Sure, they are way heavier, but I can actually get work with them done. And yes, glared screens are an invention right from the devil himself. Completely stupid.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s a way much cleaner design. Not so overloaded anymore.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Happy birthday, little machine!

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, I didn’t expect that name either. :-D And it’s actually a cave, too.

@kiwu@twtxt.net Dang it! I first thought it was jitters due to your exams. Hang in there!

@prologic@twtxt.net Oh yeah, very beautiful! I can hear the roaring of the waterfall and like to be there, too. The first shot makes it look like you’re in the middle of a cave. :-)

@thecanine@twtxt.net Very cute. :-)

I completely forgot, I saw my very first badger in the wild the day before yesterday. :-) That was absolutely cool! <3

I heard something comparatively large rustling in the bush right next to me and thought that it must be dear. Naturally, I stopped and tried to see what’s in there. The rustling went up the bank and it suddenly came down again towards the road I was on. That’s when I first layed eyes on it and identified it as a badger. For a split second I thought that it’s going to get after me and was ready to get running. But it just hadn’t noticed me yet. When it eventually spotted me, it froze for a few seconds and ran off uphill. My camera took too long to boot, so it was already gone by the time the photo machine was good to go.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Absolutely right. And I cannot say that I’m not guilty of that either.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, that’s a nice one! :-D

Two mates and I went hiking yesterday. The sun was beating down on us, but luckily, it was also rather windy which helped to cool off. Unfortunately, we also encountered bucketloads of drunk hikers with hardcarts loaded full of beer who had to very loudly please everbody with their shitty taste of music. What a stupid tradition on 1st May public holiday over here. Other than that, it was a great hike.

I was pleasantly surprised that my trains were dead on time, so both super short times to switch connections worked out perfectly on both the way there and back. I did not expect this to happen at all and already braced myself for an additional half hour waiting time. Especially with the stupid Stuttgart Beer Festival right now. Even more drunk idiots everywhere and of course also in the trains. On the return journey, I learned about all sorts of family relations etc. in various Allgäu villages. Oh boy. At least nobody vomited, that’s a bonus.

Also, I sweated more on the first return Sauna-Bahn than on the entire hike combined. It was awfully hot in there.

Anyway, all in all it was a great time in the outdoors with my mates: https://lyse.isobeef.org/monrepos-favoritepark-hungerberg-ruine-hoheneck-2026-05-01/

@yarn_police@twtxt.net Looks like the rendering in yarnd is off. The second subject (prisoner error!) was robbed, its link text got stolen.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks, mate! Yeah, that never gets old, there’s something magically about it. :-)

@bender@twtxt.net How poetic, very well said. :-) It calls for the small man’s adventures.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks. Unfortunately, the weather stations are quite far away.

I have to operate my own one. :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, brilliant! :-D

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’ve got the same problem that you had the other day: finding past temperature data. But yeah, it looked much warmer than it actually was. Maybe 5°C? Possibly less when I found myself in the snow- and rainstorm in the end.

With the wind, my fingers were frozen. I should have worn gloves. Without them, I could only put my hands in the pockets of my jacket. That didn’t help much, though, because I frequently stopped to take yet another photo, so they cooled off again right away. :-D

Balancing the big/long, closed umbrella under my arm while I had my hands burried was also a little tricky.

First world problems. :-)

There was an endless coming and going of sun, clouds and rain. Not to forget about the wind. I called it quits a bit earlier and went into the woods.

Towards the end I was completeley surrounded by rain curtains in all directions. This looked super cool. I thought I might make it home just in time without having to use my umbrella, but the rain clouds were way quicker than I anticipated. Just after the rain hit me, I met an acquaintance who just started his walk. The wind picked up hard and rain hammered down, mixed with snow. Holding the umbrella was a workout. Shortly after I returned, the rain stopped again.

I didn’t notice the kestrel sitting on the tree when I took the last photo. That was a nice surprise when I sorted through the nearly 300 pics.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-02-17/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de There are always some folks who would appreciate that. But I fear they are the minority. The rest just doesn’t give a shit.

The selfcontradiction is that those who proudly use and promote AI also claim to be sustainable and green and so on. I’ve no clue how this is not considered fraud, but there we are.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Our ads are one of these rubbish ones, unfortunately. They just speak about “an attractive salary”. I reckon I will tell my boss about this talk tomorrow (even though I doubt that any of them are from our department).

I’ve got the impression that salary is amongst the most top secret topics in Germany in general. My conspiracy theory is that companies don’t put any numbers in job ads because that would just reveal that most employees are underpaid.

All gray the last few days, but there was one morning exception: https://lyse.isobeef.org/morgensonne-2026-02-12/

@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry if I raised the wrong hope. Only the German talk is about the “why good people don’t want to work at your company” subject. Among the key points are the absolutely terrible job adverts, team leads not themselves looking for people to hire but letting other dudes do that, company cultures and communication.

A mate just recommended this German talk why people don’t wanna work at your company: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2025-3321-es_es_ka_em_warum_gute_leute_nicht_bei_euch_arbeiten_wollen It’s really good. I fully agree with most parts.

The speaker referenced https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xmEgtRhw7o (Mårten Mickos: Believe in Something Bigger Than Yourself) which is also very interesting, if you make it through the first bit. He talks about his CEO role at MySQL AB.

For several days again, YouTube fucks up all the Atom feeds every European morning. A bunch of hours just 404s. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de They don’t notice anything at all. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I also had to laugh. :-D And that’s what crossed my mind for a splitsecond, too. Two decades ago or so, that would have worked. But these days are long over. Wasn’t it even an INI file or something like that?

We just wanted to play one or the other quick round of Rummikub after quitting time and suddenly it’s now three hours later. :-)

Fuck me dead! I accidentally confused an HTML file for a YAML file and manually opened it in my browser. Unfortunately, I clicked on the OK button of the popped up dialog a bit too fast, it just caught me off guard. It asked which program to open the YAML file in. Of course Firefox thought that it could handle that and suggested itself by default. Conveniently, the “don’t prompt me again and always use this selection from now on” checkbox was enabled.

And then the endless loop of death started. Turns out, this fucking browser can’t do shit with YAML files and delegated to what had been just configured. Oh, would you look at that!? Firefox! Empty tabs after empty tabs appeared. Killing and restarting Firefox just loaded the last session with all the tabs and the loop continued.

Some bloody snakeoil on my work machine slows down link openening requests by two, three seconds. It’s always absolutely anoying, but luckily, it actually limited the rate of new tabs popping up. I still could not close the many tabs fast enough that had accumulated before I noticed what was going on in the background.

Going to the settings to change them was always interrupted with a new tab opening in the foreground.

Finally, killing Firefox and renaming the file on disk before restarting Firefox did the trick and broke the loop. I was still holding down Ctrl+W for a minute or so to get rid of the useless tabs. I didn’t want to loose the important tabs, so just ditching the session wasn’t an option.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, great!

I have to analyze what is taking yt-dlp so long start up. Two and a half, three seconds just to determine that a video is in the download archive and then abort is nuts. I’m wondering what this program does before that.

@bender@twtxt.net Yes. Give me a big enough backpack… :-D

@dce@hashnix.club Wow! Moving without a vehicle, that seems impressive to me. Was it just down the street or how did you accomplish this? I hope you didn’t loose all your belongings due to a fire or similar catastrophe.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Nice, it’s coming together! Despite it being ages ago that I used a hex editor or viewer, these different representations of information appear very handy to me. If I had to mess around on binary formats, I’d definitely appreciate them. I can’t remember if the hex viewer back then had these options. Don’t even recall what software that was. :-)

I, too, only very, very rarely use the mouse in the terminal. Apart from selecting text to copy into the clipboard. But that probably has the potential for trouble and interference with button clicks, etc. If one isn’t careful.

How did the startup times develop?

Hmmm, that’s a pity. I never realized that before. The following Go code

var b bool
…
b |= otherBool

results in a compilation error:

invalid operation: operator | not defined on b (variable of type bool)

I cannot use || for assignments as in ||= according to https://go.dev/ref/spec#Assignment_statements. Instead, I have to write b = b || otherBool like a barbarian. Oh well, probably doesn’t happen all that often, given that I only now run into this after all those many years.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Heck, no! This must be a violation of all sorts of rules! Staged for sure.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, I’d take that, too. :-)

I don’t mind most sauna goers. It would be just nicer if there were fewer people or parallel Aufguss sessions, so that it’s not overcrowded.

@shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe I don’t have a use for it, just curious, why did you fork it?

It was so great going to the sauna again, we were looking forward to that the whole week. :-) It’s been over a year, holy cow, time flies. We definitely have to pick up on that tradition again, that’s for sure.

We attended two Aufguss sessions, the first and last one in our four hour visit. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it to the other two, because the crazy people already occupied the entire sauna 15 minutes before the start. Yeah, no.

Now, the bellies are stuffed with kebabs. Yum! Let’s see how often I wake up tonight to rehydrate.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de You’re right, that’s neat. I also saw Pask’s take on that which he referenced. I don’t know if I will ever attempt anything like that. Can’t imagine to succeed in that mission.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see. Yeah, if you gotta have to tediously plow through, it feels deeper. And sometimes it actually is.

We had super thick fog this morning. It rolled in extremely quickly, maybe 15 minutes at most. Visibility was below 50 meters. Looked cool from inside.

Ich hab es jetzt endlich geschafft, diese alte Podcastdatei anzuhören, die ich auf meiner Platte fand. Omega-Tau 293 über Wasserstraßen und im Speziellen den Neckar. Total interessant. Ich bin bisher noch nie über diese Serie gestolpert und habe keine Ahnung, wie ich überhaupt zu der Datei kam. Leider ist der Podcast mittlerweile eingestellt, das TLS-Zertifikat der Website die Tage abgelaufen und die Folgenseite tot, aber die Audiodatei gibt’s noch: https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/omegataupodcast/omegatau-393-wasserstrassen.mp3

A few minutes of nice colors in the sky: https://lyse.isobeef.org/abendhimmel-2026-02-04/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, so just half a millimeter then! :-D That’s plenty these days for everything to shut down, I’m afraid. If only the same élan was still in action as back then:

Image

And here I am watching Mattias Björnström’s gas pedal freezing at full throttle around -40°C. Well, falls apart and gets stuck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLgmV15XeSY

I’m not an expert on this subject at all, but I reckon an automatic in addition with all its sensors is much worse than a manual one. All wheel drive, studded tires and diff locked is what one wants in icy situations. :-D

Building a Roman crossbow completely by hand is soo fascinating and damn cool: https://youtube.com/watch?v=sSCwmXy_8Bo

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Welcome home! How many decimeters did you get? It just snowed a tiny bit, but absolutely zero survived on the ground here.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t have any statistics, just observe what is around me, so it’s very subjective. I know a bunch of kids with names I’ve never heard before. Sometimes, I first thought other kids were making fun of their friends by calling them by made-up nonsense. But no. Without question, I live under a rock. I just looked up some of them that came to mind immediately and they seem to be of Greek, Swedish and Latin origin, etc.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh yeah, that sounds really nicely.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I reckon up until then you had to have another first name that clearly differentiated. Didn’t read through the court decision, though.

Interesting, I always thought that Kiran was a male first name. But I only know one person with that name. As last name, though.

Now I’m wondering, was that also the beginning when parents started giving their kids really weird names?

@bender@twtxt.net Hahahaha! :-D

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Haha, I just noticed because my client colors mentions differently depending on whether I follow the feed or not. ;-)

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net I just wanna let you know that in your last two messages there are backslashes at the end of the mention URLs.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I see. Never watched that show.

@bender@twtxt.net Ta! :-)

I’ve got sore muscles. The sticky snow couldn’t be pushed, it had to be laborously cleared shovel by shovel. :-D

In my lunch break, I went on a short stroll. Oh boy, walking through deep damp snow is exhausting! There were sections with easily 30 centimeters and more. Some big wind drifts had piled up. Despite melting off quickly in the 4°C, especially turning the trees brown again, the white landscape still looks so nice. I’m glad these road marking sticks finally came in handy for the snow plow guys. :-) The black and orange stripes are 30 cm high.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-01-26/

That’s probably it. There’s no significant snowfall announced for the rest of the week and temperatures are supposed to stay in the 2-4°C range by day.

Just showelled 20cm of snow for half an hour, fuck me! I’m totally shattered. But it’s worth it. Looks so beautiful. And all the disbelief and terror in the eyes of the people. Well, that’s what our winters were like three decades ago. I’m just glad that I can work from home.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, I don’t know what that is. :-?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Feature creep is killing it. :-(

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was also extremely surprised and couldn’t believe it myself. But around the hair were definitely two, three millimeters of ice with a bunch of snow on top. I couldn’t simply brush it off, the hair were all frozen together. Back in the house, it took maybe three minutes to melt the solidified white stuff and free up and disconnect the individual hair. Crazy.

Yeah, 0°C in town, maybe -2°C on the summit. It definitely didn’t feel all the cold, but I came prepared with a few layers of cloth.

What a beautiful, beautiful 0°C Sunday arvo and evening! The weather forecast delayed the snow by the minute. An hour or so after it finally started very, very lightly, I headed off for the woods to check out the lake again. Unfortunately, with the fresh snow layer, the crazy wild surface texture of the ice sheet wasn’t visible anymore. But it brought some other nice views and photo opportunities.

I initially thought that I just go for a quick turn. However, with the snowfall a wee bit increasing I was hooked and kept going. Visibility was poor, but the snow blankets just looked too stunning. The road surfaces were quite slippery, so I often just walked alongside the pathways. On downhill slopes I had some good fun sliding down the road on my feet. With varying success. Luckily, I managed not to fall.

On the summit of the mountain the twigs had those absolutely magnificently looking windblown crystal coverings. Awwwwwww! They never get old. It was already getting dark, so the camera was tired and wanted to sleep. The snow program then made use of the flash and I’m quite pleased with how these shots turned out.

Two deer crossed the road in front of me and ran into the woods, that was sight for sore eyes. Although I felt bad that they had to flee from me in this white terrain. By the time I got home, the snow had accumulated around eight centimeters in height, even in town down in the valley. Walking on this fresh snow is just amazing. And I love the sound it makes. Today, the snow consistency must have been just right, because the crushing sound was really loud.

I cannot recall that I had frozen hair and beard before, but today, there was a thick ice buildup. In case I had, it was definitely never this much. Felt really cool.

Enough of this preliminary skirmishing, there ya go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-01-25/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Cool, cool, cool! Happy hacking. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Probably already dry by the time you get there. ;-)

@bender@twtxt.net I love that you set your alarm. :-D Lucky for my new teammates (or maybe not) I’m not gonna leave them. No week has passed where my old mates didn’t consult me, so I reckon I’m still a secret service agent in the old team. :-P

@bender@twtxt.net Hahaha! It was already too dark for this poor camera. Yes, this pond was frozen solid. I will check it out tomorrow during daylight and have another attempt.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Maybe ask the guys at CERN whether you can quickly put your soaking wet stuff in their Laundry deHumidifying Centrifuge every so often.

It’s been slightly ice cold: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-01-23/

@shinyoukai@yume.laidback.moe @prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de /me raises his hand, too.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very interesting!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de :-D LOL!

@klaxzy@klaxzy.net Hahaha, that’s funny! :-D

There are the two poles: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?from=48.735473%2C9.718418

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah…

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hehe. :-) This steep footpath connects a hiking parking lot outside the village and the edge of the village in a fairly straight line. Garden owners are allowed to drive their vehicles down from the village to their lots on this pathway and up again. These two poles are placed about a third up from the botton on a short, comparatively flat section to stop people from taking this shortcut to get down to the country road. Said road goes through the village but there are hairpins getting up and down. The road markings have been added recentlyish. I suspect to warn shooting down cyclists of the danger ahead. I haven’t seen something like this anywhere else either. :-)

My mate and I went on a hike earlier. Yesterday, we had lovely 12°C. But today, it was down to at most 4°C. Oh well. At least the sun was out and and there was just a tiny bit of wind. We knew upfont that scarf, beanie and gloves were mandatory. Especially at the more windy sections like up top the hills. The view was absolutely terrible, but we made the best of it.

With the sun shining on us during our lunch break at a forest edge bench, we still enjoyed the lookout in 01. I brought some old carpet scraps to sit on and was happily surprised that they isolated even better than I had hoped for. Some hot tea helped us staying warm.

After five hours we returned just after sunset. I’m quite tired now, completely out of shape.

https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2026-01-17/

Well, the Atom feed entry IDs changed, too. I had to mark everything as read again.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I still think that your original domain is cool as fuck! :-)

I didn’t change any subscriptions, and I still see your messages, so whatever you did worked fine. :-)

Wow, as I anticipated, this is waaay out of my capabilities to really understand it. But I’m quite happy to just have spotted a mistake in an explanatory comment in section 4.5.2 “The icode Array”. Of course, it should be /e + tc + /i + ni + t\0. Let’s hope that my e-mail with the patch actually makes it into Briam’s inbox. I fear GMail just hides it in the spam folder.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Just 323 pages! That’s cool, let’s have a look. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net Tada! Maybe one day I might look into this lowlevel stuff, too. But I can’t see it on the horizon yet. Happy hacking! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess so, yes. I read something about that in some ticket. In v3 the terminfo support was dropped, though. I’m still on v2 at the moment.

And tcell seems to support my urxvt in general: https://github.com/gdamore/tcell/blob/v2/terminfo/r/rxvt/term.go#L144

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Woah, that’s really amazing progress! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, I know that terminals are super weird and messy. In both the KDE Konsole (identifying itself as TERM=xterm-256color) and xterm (TERM=xterm) it just works flawlessly. My urxvt (TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color) just doesn’t. I also tried messing with TERM in urxvt, but no luck so far.

Well, in Xterm, I actually do get key combinations with the Shift modifier. Also, combinations of several modifiers just work exactly as I expect. But not in URXvt. Hmm.

Here am I looking at the different tcell.Key constants and typing different key combinations in the terminal to see the generated tcell.EventKeys in the debug log. Until I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Backspace… :-D Yep, suddenly there went my X…

So far, it appears as if I can have either only Ctrl or Alt as modifiers. But not in combination. And Shift is just never ever set at all. Interesting.

Ha, I just stumbled across https://codeberg.org/tslocum/cbind, perfect!

@bender@twtxt.net ICQ, yeah, I vaguely remember these times, despite I still know my ICQ number like it was yesterday. :-D

@shinyoukai@neko.laidback.moe No, it’s not dead. The one account in question actually is on jabber.org.

I’m trying to implement configurable key bindings in tt. Boy, is parsing the key names into tcell.EventKeys a horrible thing. This type consists of three information:

1. maybe a predefined compound key sequence, like Ctrl+A
   
2. maybe some modifiers, such as Shift, Ctrl, etc.
   
3. maybe a rune if neither modifiers are present nor a predefined compound key exists
   

It’s hardcoded usage results in code like this:

func (t *TreeView[T]) InputHandler() func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p tview.Primitive)) {
    return t.WrapInputHandler(func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p tview.Primitive)) {
        switch event.Key() {
        case tcell.KeyUp:
            t.moveUp()
        case tcell.KeyDown:
            t.moveDown()
        case tcell.KeyHome:
            t.moveTop()
        case tcell.KeyEnd:
            t.moveBottom()
        case tcell.KeyCtrlE:
            t.moveScrollOffsetDown()
        case tcell.KeyCtrlY:
            t.moveScrollOffsetUp()
        case tcell.KeyTab, tcell.KeyBacktab:
            if t.finished != nil {
                t.finished(event.Key())
            }
        case tcell.KeyRune:
            if event.Modifiers() == tcell.ModNone {
                switch event.Rune() {
                case 'k':
                    t.moveUp()
                case 'j':
                    t.moveDown()
                case 'g':
                    t.moveTop()
                case 'G':
                    t.moveBottom()
                }
            }
        }
    })
}

This data structure is just awful to handle and especially initialize in my opinion. Some compound tcell.Keys are mapped to human-readable names in tcell.KeyNames. However, these names always use - to join modifiers, e.g. resulting in Ctrl-A, whereas tcell.EventKey.Name() produces +-delimited strings, e.g. Ctrl+A. Gnaarf, why this asymmetry!? O_o

I just checked k9s and they’re extending tcell.KeyNames with their own tcell.Key definitions like crazy: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/master/internal/ui/key.go Then, they convert an original tcell.EventKey to tcell.Key: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/b53f3091ca2d9ab963913b0d5e59376aea3f3e51/internal/ui/app.go#L287 This must be used when actually handling keyboard input: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/e55083ba271eed6fc4014674890f70c5ed6c70e0/internal/ui/tree.go#L101

This seems to be much nicer to use. However, I fear this will break eventually. And it’s more fragile in general, because it’s rather easy to forget the conversion or one can get confused whether a certain key at hand is now an original tcell.Key coming from the library or an “extended” one.

I will see if I can find some other programs that provide configurable tcell key bindings.
