Using urxvt, you put the following in .Xdefaults: URxvt*urgentOnBell: true Now you have to set mcabber to bell when a message arrives: set beep_on_message = 1

Speed does matter, and it affects all systems, but i think the suckless codebases are small enough that there shouldn't be an apparent difference. > I see no point why git should be more Unix-like than mercurial.

The bloat you are talking about is mostly in small scripts that are layered above git core functionality. And mercurial does have many "bloat" and plugins in its core distribution as well. And i think every suckless-alarm-bell should ring when you merely can hear the word python ;)

thats actually not true:

[dev] tiny dmenu patch
Dear suckless list,
attached is a trivial 1 line patch that aligns the text in vertical mode
on the left. This makes the output nicer on long prompts.

Re: [dev] [dwm] zoom() monocle

The idea is to view zoom as a method to bring a window to the front of the window-stack. That way you can use your windows in a LRU manner, which saves you endless moving through the window list just to toggle between two windows.

Now you need window 4, so you press mod+j/k 3 times, so in between you focus 2,3. If you need 1 again, you have to mod+j/k 3 times again. It gets annoying if you have to alternate between those windows often. With the modified version, you would call zoom() after you focused window 4, which results in the stack 4,1,2,3,5,6. Now you can exchange window 4 and 1 with one call to zoom, which will result in the window stack 1,4,2,3,5,6. zoom() allows you to toggle between window 1 and 4 with one key press.
