thumbnail

GitHub - isamert/jaro: a highly customizable xdg-open alternative
thumbnail

Program advanced features like opening youtube links in mpv, or a program just like this if already called from a terminal, or with a terminal window if not currently in one.

Seems really useful for advanced opening coding (e.g. fzf in floating mode from shortcuts, or just in term, and so on)

Prefer Terminal for GnuPG Pinentry - Kevin Locke's Homepage

This post describes the GnuPG pinentry process and provides a script which automatically chooses between a terminal or graphical interface based on the PINENTRY_USER_DATA environment variable.

A neat introduction to the way pinentry works. (Or seems to work, I have not done my due diligence here)

GitHub - lovasoa/pagelabels-py: Python library to manipulate PDF page labels
thumbnail

Python library to manipulate PDF page labels.

Meaning: you can change the labelling of page sections (preface getting roman numerals and different numbering scheme than main section, etc)

Should be really useful for later on programatically going to the correct pages and extracting the correct page citations from annotations etc

Can be used to e.g. pin a hosted website on the decentralized web for free, see here.

GitHub - salman-abedin/devour: X11 window swallower
thumbnail

Removes a (n X11) window when another program is launched and thus 'replaces' it with the other window.
Then re-establishes the original window when the first one closes.

Could be kinda neat for things like launching mpv in-place, or switching between fileview and filecontents (e.g. pdf reading)
