posting from my mnt pocket reform :blobmelt:

Stream of consciousness:

reform-handbook opens the Reform Handbook 2nd Edition, not the Reform Pocket Handbook *Edit* pocket-reform-handbook :blobpats:

Are there keyboard controls for volume? 🤔 Edit: Hyper-F3/F4/F5 for lower/higher/mute

NVMe was installed but comes unconfigured by default. Might mount it as /home *Edit* reform-setup-encrypted-nvme

The blog post from 2022 lists a lot of "preinstalled" software that did not come preinstalled on my device mntre.com/media/reform_md/2022

mntre.comIntroducing MNT Pocket Reform—MNT Research GmbH

Shipping times vary for a very wide variety of reasons, but as a data point, I ordered my Pocket Reform on 2024-09-19 and received it on 2025-01-22.

Changing the Pocket Reform keyboard backlight with Hyper+Trackball for brightness and hue is very satisfying

Lagrange running on the MNT Pocket Reform. That was easy!

@annika
Lagrange looks amazing as usual! 🤩

Is that still sway? 🤔

Annika Backstrom

@m0xee Yep still Sway, lots of keybinds to remember but I'm trying to stick with it.

@annika
Ah, it's a custom bar — that is why it looks unusual to me.
I'm using a built-in bar — I use colour emoji for workspace names so they are more descriptive, but seeing colour Firefox icon still surprised me 😄
I'm using sway on most of my machines — it's not for everyone perhaps, but once you learn or remap the shortcuts and bind the software you use most often to the keys of your preference, it gets quite comfy.

@m0xee Ah yeah, the docs say it's "waybar" but I haven't dug into it yet

@annika
Binding application windows to a particular workspace also helps, e.g. I always have Matrix client in workspace 1, so when I need it I hit Win/Cmd/Super + 1 and there I go, I always have web browser in workspace 4 — similarly: Super + 4 and here it is! Way better than switching between windows the "traditional" way.
