i started using micro and its pretty great. but when i try to open the terminal within the editor

ctl+e

it seems to just open a whole new terminal window with no context within my document.

anybody got ideas?

    Unbind ctrl+e from your window manager / terminal emulator. The shortcut is never reaching Micro at all.

    Alas no but from your screenshot I learned all about grim. Thanks!

      It’s pretty nice, especially in combination with slurp which lets you select a part of the screen.

      I have this mapped to my printscreen shortcut: grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy, which lets you select a part of the screen to screenshot, and copies the image to the clipboard.

        Ha! Just checked and it turns out this is the exact line that’s already in my screenshot script. Which apparently I pilfered without trying very hard to understand - as usual! Can confirm it works great.

    I feel like there is an alternate reality where I use micro. I remember getting excited when it was first announced, then I just never really needed it.
