  • v137 on KDE, there’s no minimize or close to tray option in the settings, like some screenshots suggest.

    Thunderbird extensions for that don’t work on recent versions, and KDocker - which I used for a couple of years - doesn’t seem to work on Wayland. So the only option on some DEs seems to migrate to Betterbird.


  • yeah, I use Thunderbird, but it bothers me how slow it feels and the frequent little UI bugs with unread flags not updating and the delay of messages to show up in the unified inbox.

    It’s nice that Betterbird has a system tray (I can’t believe how a standalone desktop app for emails neglects this, like TB does), but it still inherits a lot of the problems TB has.








  • Things I already have:

    • rebind ctrl-r and up (configurable) to a full screen history search UI
    • old history file is not replaced

    Things I could find useful once in a while:

    • switch filter modes via ctrl-r; search history just from the current session, directory, or globally

    Things I don’t care about and probably wouldn’t use:

    • back up and sync encrypted shell history
    • log exit code, cwd, hostname, session, command duration, etc
    • calculate statistics such as “most used command”
    • quick-jump to previous items with Alt-<num>
    • enter to execute a command, tab to edit

    I really don’t want:

    • the same history across terminals, across sessions, and across machines

    Not really a feature:

    • store shell history in a sqlite database
