Looks like MOC or cmus. One of the comments on that site got it right, though. Why do we need python-gtk2 for an ncurses UI?

Someone said to me once: “graphical environment on Linux serves only to open more terminals”.

I tried it on Debian testing.
According to the Debian Wiki (which is maybe a little outdated on this subject) config needs to be in .wmii-3.5, which is where I put my wmiirc that comes with the wmii package at /etc/X11/wmiirc

However, when I first login, there is a dialog that prompts to select the default modifier key. After this, another folder is created in .wmii with a default config file wmiirc_local, with two lines that define the modifier key.

Overwriting this file with the content from the default wmiirc results in an bricked wmii session.
It seems to me that the wmii version that is in the repository is newer or no longer compatible than the config file that is packaged with it.

I’ve tried to edit the wmiirc_local manually, but as soon as I start playing around with the keyboard shortcuts, it goes to hell. Any idea how I could fix this?

Thank you for this!!!

It’s important not to blur the distinction between a CLI and a TUI.

In my order of preferences, CLI > TUI > GUI.

Same here, I have a similar machine as Bryan’s and the only graphical app I use regularly is firefox (vimperator).

The use of the word ‘addiction’ has made me wonder if it really is true, although I first started to use CLI apps because they were more practical (and cool ), now I feel really awkward in front of some graphical ones, specially if they depend heavily on the mouse, and after using them for a while I even start having some headache.

Also, I have always wondered why don’t you use a tiling wm, since you use terminal multiplexers, which are very similar to these.
