Why is it so difficult to check for reposting before submitting?

Than awk? I very, very doubt your 0.001-3s findings.

> I'm sure it's way better than just typing "vis"

Of course. Because you can use it everywhere, that's the whole point of learning regex, awk, or any other POSIX tool.

More like nano alternative or whatever.

Why mention Vim at all, if it has nothing to do with the modal editing or anything Vim-related?

You realize Vim will detect "sentence" based on exactly the same regex you can feed to awk? And "tabular data", dear me...

Or, just learn / use awk, since you'll need it anyway.

Not "open sources" their famous edit.com, though, but creates a _new_ open source editor as a tribute to edit.com

Misleading title. Also, has been already submitted.

Maybe making it a frontend for an established dictionary format files (instead ob embedding all the data), so that other people could also use it with other dictionaries, would be a better design solution?

> I claim it's just "fast"

Me, I have three terminal emulators installed on my main machine, alacritty, kitty and xterm. Definitely haven't noticed anything "game changing" (as mentioned in the comment above) from ghostty in this regard.

Funny thing is, I actually use my LXQt exclusively with a vertical taskbar (and it's been years). Don't know about any possible problems.

Thanks!

Yeah, I understand that it sort of sits in between. But what are those "additional" features compared to a more spartan DEs? More included apps / accessories? More access to the machine's properties (like, more GUIs for various options)? Something else?

...And just the other day I was thinking about maybe trying XFCE out :)

Now, currently I'm using LXQt (which is probably even more bare bones and "get the job done" DE), what can XFCE give me? I mean, I certainly see a point when people switch to XFCE from Gnome or KDE. But what about if coming from the other side of the spectrum?
