    I guess I should have written the post a bit more clearly. I’ve got the for_window part, it’s just that after I set the opacity for all windows app_id=.*, the following lines of the config cannot override that for the specific windows I want different opacities for.






  • The best way to understand really is to install both and try yourself, but basically I would say Kakoune is more "radical" than Helix, which feels more like Vim. Both move the selection in normal mode, but Helix has you extend it using what's basically visual mode, whereas Kakoune cuts out visual mode altogether and has you hold Shift. As you can see in the config, reconfiguring what Shift does causes issues with normal Vim bindings (like joining selections with J), so Kakoune solves this with Alt.

    After using it for a few days, it made a lot of sense to my brain—I would say, in general, Kakoune feels enormously well thought-out and carefully considered in every element of its design.

    P.S—

    My main problem is screen tearing (my display refresh seems to be 59.999, and I notice this when moving windows around or watching 60 FPS video or even just scrolling PDFs)—is that something Wayland would even help at all? Am I just wasting my time here?
