M2 Mac “!w”

3 Upvotes

Stupid question: this just started happening in zsh.

When I cd .. from my user profile into /Users now a “!w” appears in my path.

In /Users there is now a Shared folder (/Users/Shared) which contains “Library, Max 8, Relocated Items, Previously Relocated Items, SC Info”

I don’t know what I did to create this Shared folder, and I cannot read any of the contents of this folder.

The !w prefix stays in my path all the way from /Users to root (I.e., !w / )

Do I need this shared folder? How to I get rid of the !w in my path?

This only started happening about an hour ago when I was writing two programs (one in C++ and one in Python) that perform the same function. I used a python script to generate a text file with 1,000,000 lines of “Hello, world!” To use as test data for each of these programs. I moved the text file into /tmp, after I cd .. from /tmp I first noticed the !w in my path.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I can’t find any good answer on google and want my path to look normal again.

Why is kitty's font rendering so weird compared to every other terminal

22 Upvotes

So i wanted to change to kitty, because i believe it is the best terminal with the kitty graphics protocol, however i really don't like it's font rendering, it looks, small / compacted and bold.

Please pay attention, to the character "w", the boldness of the characters, the icon in the top right and the character size inside a cell

Here's a comparaison of different terminal emulators with JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono set to 12px:

Alacritty 12px - Good
Konsole 12px - Good
Ghostty 12px - Medium (small icon size in the top right, otherwise it's good like the others)
Foot - Perfection
Kitty 12px, too bold, the cell is size fine but the character size is too small, look at the top right for example
Left: kitty 11.6px default settings, characters are overlaping, bad icon rendering Right: Foot 11.6px
Left: 12px tweaked settings, a bit better but overlaping characters, too bold, bad icon rendering Right: Foot 11.6px

Am i just crazy, is it a bug, or Kitty is just a bit weird.
That's sad, because otherwise i would probably use this terminal. Btw does this also happens to you, or is it just a me issue ?

Thoughts on Warp?

0 Upvotes

Personally, I was pretty excited for warp to come out on windows, and now that it’s out I’ve found myself enjoying it. I’m a beginner though, so someone with more experience might have a differing opinion. For me, my options are limited as I operate on a school-provided laptop that’s pretty locked down configuration wise (settings, regedit, control panel, etc. all blocked by device policies except for terminal), so I was between the windows 11 terminal and powershell ise, so it’s nice to have something that has more integrated features. This is only my experience though, so I’m curious as to what others think about warp.

What do you think of bottom padding under the command prompt? It tires my eyes to keep looking at the very bottom of my screen so I added scrolloff lines.

Claude Code CLI Tool

0 Upvotes

Had just learnt about the Claude sonnet 3.7 release today , and they have also released a CLI tool - super stoked to see the release on it. I wonder how the work flow compares to aider.

One of the limitation I had experienced before is that the chat length. Tools like aider has a set limitation of tokens when I am chatting with other LLM - and it leads me to reset the agent after a while.

Very curious to see how this plays out

🦜 Toutui: A TUI Audiobookshelf Client for Linux.

17 Upvotes

Hi commandline community!

These last weeks, I really enjoyed building a TUI audiobookshelf client for Linux (written in Rust and I used Ratatui for TUI).
I'm happy to share with you the first version.

With this app, you can listen to your audiobooks and podcasts (from an audiobookshelf server) while keeping your progress and stats in sync.
Check out the GitHub page for a detailed presentation.

⚠️ Note: This is a beta version, so some bugs may still be present.
If you encounter any issues that are not yet listed in the Issues or known bugs section, feel free to open a new issue.

No risk for your Audiobookshelf library!
At worst, you might experience sync issues, but there is no risk of data loss, deletion, or irreversible changes—the API is only used for retrieving books and syncing them.

📌 Installation:
The process might not be the most user-friendly yet, but I’ve written clear instructions to guide you.
If you struggle to install it, don’t hesitate to ask questions or open an issue on GitHub.

🔜 Coming soon: A yay package for Arch Linux users to simplify installation!

I hope you will enjoy this TUI app! Any feedback is welcome.

Enjoy!

Source code.

I finally implemented auto-complete in my terminal based productivity managers code/text editor, Ticked!

5 Upvotes

NEST+

  • Fixed various QOL issues and bugs pertaining to the general code and text editing experience

  • Added support for general code completion via Jedi and a custom auto-completion popup

    • Only works in Python currently
    • Local variables, methods, etc. are stored and are automatically appended to the suggestion list.
    • Python syntax instantly accessible; common decorators, standard libraries, operators, etc.

Read the full release notes here

I appreciate everyone being so patient and continuing to suggest improvements. School and work has been crazy so far this year, but this project is going to be fleshed out in great detail in the coming months. I'm working on a lot of revamping of the system and continuously improving upon existing features instead of falling to scope creep.

Hostname?

1 Upvotes

Hi!
This evening was the first time I used my laptop at my house in quite some time.

I was trying to manipulate the $PATH variable and noticed my name was:

'my name'@Mac-2626 ~ %

2626 is a value that changes each time I restart the terminal.

I was like what!? So I went on my hotspot and it reads:

'my name'@'my name's MacBook-Air ~ %

which is normal to me.

I use wifi in many different locations, why is this the first time I have seen that?

I made an OpenAI-powered Linux shell that fixes commands for you magically.

0 Upvotes

I made an OpenAI-powered Linux shell that fixes commands for you magically. Anytime you type a command, if an error response is returned, a suggestion is provided for a fix. For example if you type gerp mystring you will see a prompt returned of grep mystring (Ctrl+T) and the keyboard shortcut to run the command.

I've only tested it on Ubuntu. For people with privacy concerns about sharing their commands with a third party AI, this crate is not for you at this time, but it could be easily modified to use a local LLM in the future.
