  • Lollypop is actually a GTK3 app (it looks pretty dated on my mostly GKT4 GNOME setup) and it’s imo still the best GNOME music app. I’m honestly suprised they say Lollypop’s UX sucks but then praise RecordBox’s because I can’t stand RecordBox (why make me double click to play a song* and don’t get me started on the Artist+Album view). Also surprised Gapless didn’t get mentioned here, I think this is actually pretty decent though its queue system could use work.

    *The dev says this choice is so you can select songs and instead you should use the little play button next on the right side of all playable entries.












  • A ‘mode’ in emacs is a set of bindings which associate specific keys with specific functions.

    Not quite, a mode is basically a lisp function defined with a different macro that integrates it into the various systems (like showing up in the modeline when active). It can do basically anything, including setting keybinds.

    ‘modes’ can be stacked on top of each other, with higher modes being able to intercept key presses before they reach lower modes, and changes / manipulate lower modes (I think?)

    No, a keybind can only run one function and what that function is is whatever last defined a binding for that key. Like, if one mode defines a key to be something and you activate another that also binds that key, the latter takes over.

    Emacs does have something like you describe, where functions can be ‘advised’.
