TL;DR - The major difference is that while Shortcat uses the accessibility API, KayZeer uses image processing. My idea is that you can use it whether your apps support that API, or even if you are working in a VM.
Shortcat does have the advantage that you can fuzzy search. KayZeer at the moment does no OCR or any of the sort.
On the other hand KayZeer (sorry for the bad name, Kay was my labs name, and "seer") had stuff like "." repeats the last command, and it has a LRU of the last "point" you clicked on. You can also manually add points which is useful for instance for each monitor I add 3 points across the screen which normally tie to a file/project view and 2 editor tabs.
But I do accept (and welcome!) suggestions.
I tried going the ML route but boy.. I just couldn't get it to be accurate and/or fast. Maybe I'll retry someday.
KayZeer also seems much faster (I am not surprised because I tried using the accessibility API and gave up because while is sounds efficient in practice it felt very heavy).
Wow you had me spooked. I'd never seen shortcat before and it just so happens it has the same default key bindings as KayZeer, it is also a "cat" while mine is a "dog". So the moment I trigerred the key binding I got spooked because it did exactly what KayZeer.
seems like they have pretty clear goals in mind. if they were changing distributions haphazardly id otherwise agree, but to me it reads that they're refining their taste.
the fdroid build of android doesn't have a real linux environment that you can install arbitrary binaries on to. you can switch to a termux-ish proot environment and do x-forwarding or TUI emacs but those are shenanigans
Without reading the article: I've used Nix on macOS without nix-darwin or home-manager for some time now. I define my packages in a flake.nix that exports an environment and I use install using `nix profile`.
That's a great setup for package management. Stuff like Nix-Darwin and Home Manager start to shine when you want to also do some configuration management. For just package management, your approach is probably better in that it's simpler.
this 10,000,000,000%!! (dr stone ref.) I love modal editing and vim a ton, but I couldn't stand the half baked solutions terminal editors gave me. We have an entire rich graphical platform, why not use it?
