Another one is called slate: https://github.com/jigish/slate

Very flexible, my favorite feature is that configs can be written in JS, here's mine: https://gist.github.com/tnajdek/48ea2a2ccac365b91f29


Slate is my favorite as well - there's a fork that accumulated a bunch of patches over the years as the original author appears to have abandoned it:

https://github.com/mattr-/slate

Unfortunately, it was declared unmaintained as of a few days ago...


Yup been using Slate for a while now. I wrote a grid system for it that I find works well: https://github.com/jjt/ac-slater


I've tried that and failed. Few problems to expect: switchable graphics, external screens, crazy DPI, wifi drivers. For more details have a look at my blog entry: http://doppnet.com/2013/02/running-linux-on-2012-macbook-pro...

I've ended up going for Asus U500. It's good but not ideal.


I've just ordered one over the phone, Farnell adds a surcharge so the grand total is a little over £36. Surprisingly no wait time on the phone whatsoever! The number is 08447111111.


I just called them on that number and was told they've sold out, next batch available in 4 to 5 weeks. Bummer :(


Seems like there have been mostly negative comments here, admittedly I haven't used this yet but I think it's a great idea. Ultimately this is not supposed to replace key-bindings but rather allow me to quickly access features that I normally don't access without hunting for it in the toolbar menu. Sounds especially useful in applications where you heavily use keyboard (like text editors for example).

I believe/hope that experience will be similar to the 'command palette' of Sublime Text 2 where you can execute a feature that you don't use very often (e.g. convert to lower case <ctrl+shit+p> low<enter>) without hunting for it in the menu.

For me theory sounds good, I need to test it myself to decide whether I like it in practice or not.


I like it too. I'm just worried about what I would do when I open a new application for the first time. How do I scan what it can do? How do I learn the functions of the application?


Read the help file.


doesn't seem to work. I still have one domain that is not pointing at anything at the moment but is registered with godaddy (will move it soon!) and byedaddy says it "doesn't appear registered with GoDaddy"?


Same with one of mine. I'm wondering whether the site is merely checking to see if the domain is using godaddy's name servers (mine don't) rather than lookup and parse the Whois info (the only way to really tell).


I can confirm that. Try for example: stackoverflow.com or github.com


fixed, now it's reliable


"The domain "boxsocial.fm" doesn't appear registered with GoDaddy."

Another one to test against as I've not moved it yet.




Could anyone translate these into English for the non C speakers?


All it does is allocate a block of memory, write data to it, fix it up a little, and then execute it.


I love how simple yet functional it is. If I can suggest just a few minor things:

1. We have the 'hide video' options, can we please have 'hide list' option which makes video bigger?

2. Can we have the 'always select best quality' switch?

With these features roll.io would make it to my favorite music players list.
