folder structure

• a folder for each semester
• then a folder for each subject. has to be in short form, for reasons i'll explain later

├── school
│   ├── 5
│   │   ├── DSF
│   │   ├── IAI
│   │   ├── JP
│   │   └── SDP

command line config

• since i use vscode to take notes, i can just use ctrl + ` to open up the built-in terminal
• install any of those "smarter cd" tools.
  • i personally use zoxide
  • i personally alias it to cd. i feel like most people prolly wouldn't want this.
  • make sure to cd to each of the folders once so that zoxide(or whatever) remembers it
  • this is why the files need to be short - to avoid ambiguity when zoxide chooses a file from your history
• make an alias or abbreviation for xdg-open
  • it opens the file using the defaults you set. identical to clicking on a file in a normal gui file manager
  • i personally made it an abbreviation and set it to xo
  • for those who don't know, abbreviation is a feature in Fish shell. instead of replacing the command entirely like aliases, it replaces the abbreviation with the command once you press space. it's pretty much what aliases are meant to be.

why

here's my previous "workflow" of opening up some lecture slide:

1. open up the file manager. luckily i already have a shortcut for this.
2. use the trackpad to click "School" from the sidebar, because Dolphin doesn't allow you to navigate the sidebar with a keyboard
3. click the main ui to change the focus back to the files.
4. use the keyboard to navigate the rest
   1. you have to remember your current semester and the module that you want to select.

this is probably nothing to most people, but im not "most people". i'm constantly tired as hell. i cannot do all of that while i'm barely awake and listening to the lectures. the split second that you usually need to remember what class you're in can escalate to me completely losing track of, urm, literally everything. yeah I have no idea how I'm even alive right now.

anyways, here's a complete example of how I do it nowadays:

1. ctrl + `
2. cd dsf
3. cd assignment if there's a subfolder
4. xo then use tab completion to choose the file

it's entirely keyboard-only, and it only takes a couple of seconds. the only two things I need to remember are my subject and the file I want.

Hopefully this post is helpful to anyone with a similar issue (lemme know if you do because I have never seen anyone talk about this). And if anyone has any similar or better workflows, lemme know too.

i read it. it's pretty good.

obviously the manga of a song about queerphobia is about queerphobia, so be warned.

I'm usually super disconnected with most romance manga. I can't relate to having a social life, being in high school, being a girl, living in a yuri utopia where everyone is gay and homophobia doesn't exist. given my love for yuri, it's ironic that I actually connect more with heterosexual romance manga - both the male and female protag, mostly the latter.

There's Weird Voices Coming from the Room Next Door! is different? i think? It's not realistic by any means - it's a pure lesbian fantasy that will never happen in real life. but it never crosses the line of feeling "fake", like 90% of other manga.

i haven't seen people talking about it at all, and it's not really special on paper. so my theory is that this manga is just... made for me. and most other people will never feel my connected to the protagonist, Nakano. she's an 18-year-old uni student who has to learn to live alone. she's not particularly messy or anything, but she definitely does not has her life figured out. she just like me fr fr.
