I have been using #karousel on #KDE for several weeks, and yesterday shifted to #PaperWM on #GNOME. Took some time to configure things like I wanted, but it's much smoother than karousel (and fancier).

Overall, I like the scrolling tiling pane paradigm. I realized I've been manually doing something like this using workspaces with 1-2 windows per workspace with two keybindings - one to change workspace and one to switch windows inside a workspace. So, this window management model really clicks for me.

I switched from GNOME to KDE several years ago due to getting burnt by extensions breaking too frequently, but hopefully things are better now.

#Emacs #TIL : I learned about save-interprogram-paste-before-kill - which saves the existing system clipboard text into the kill ring before replacing it. This ensures that Emacs kill operations do not irrevocably overwrite existing clipboard text.

A common workflow for me is to copy some text from a different application and paste it inside Emacs. But, if I want to first delete a word or region to replace, the deleted word or region goes to the system clipboard and replaces my copied text. This config saves the previous entry in the system clipboard so I can do a C-p after paste to choose the previous paste.
