OpenBox is pretty amazing and I fell in love with it on CrunchBang. However, I have much to learn, hopefully from you!
How do you use the desktop and get things done in ArchLabs? Are you loving the right-click menu? Are you a keyboard command ninja? Share with me and others the things you cannot live without.
For example, I’ve never been a multiple desktop user on other operating systems. Yet, it’s so smooth on ArchLabs that super + desktop number is becoming second nature to me now that I have installed this on my old laptop.
Help me and others find slick ways to get around, display information, be efficient, and enjoy computing.
I use DWM on my laptop, so nearly everything is keyboard driven.
Openbox on the desktop and change it up constantly. I use obmenu, jgmenu and rofi but predominantly use keybinds to launch most applications there as well. Sometimes conky–> Sometimes not and every once in a while, xcfe4-panel launchers but they’re mostly just for looks
I do a lot of writing in markdown, so I really need to tweak my keyboard commands to launch Ghostwriter quickly.
Of course, I started this thread to learn more keyboard shortcuts because I feel like I should use them more. Yet, I spent the day clicking the desktops in the polybar instead of using my keys.
I generally try to avoid window manager keybinds for launching applications, the one place I do is Mod+Enter; the standard bind to open a terminal across many different window managers. For everything else I just use dmenu (or rofi if preferred) this keeps my configs a bit more simple and I never need to change things if I wanna switch to a different application.
