hi. sorry if this is a FAQ. (though i've been following the list a while, so, if so, it isn't *that* F of AQ.) i would find it convenient if all the patches for, e.g., dwm, and/or files, for surf, say, were in a git repository (either for dwm, respectively surf, says). would that make sense?

I'm not at all saying that sixel is a hack, I'm just saying it's useless. it doesn't solve any important problem in a generic enough way. drawterm is not just a "graphical terminal", it's more more comparable to remote X11, remote framebuffer, VNC, all of which are rather generic solutions to

One could argue its a little more convenient. I personally like it because it won't disturb any window layout I had open already. Here's a thought: Rather than adding all the code to the terminal, a simple patch could be made which detects a certain escape and will pipe everything after that for X

there's nothing convenient in your pityful setup. "won't disturb any window layout I had open already" fix your window manager, seems it's not able to manage shit. that escape you're talking about is called execve and it works just fine. On 3/20/17, Aditya Goturu
