Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Fixes WezTerm keyboard issues on WSL2

Readme

wezterm-pi-helper

Fixes WezTerm keyboard issues when running pi on WSL2.

Problem

WezTerm on WSL2 for Windows has a bug where Kitty keyboard protocol flag 4 ("report alternate keys") causes shifted keys (capitals, @, #, $, etc.) to not be sent at all. This makes typing very inpractical.

Solution

This extension monkey-patches pi's terminal handling to use Kitty protocol flag 3 instead of 7 when running in WezTerm, avoiding the buggy flag 4.

Installation

cd ~/.pi/agent/extensions
npm install wezterm-pi-helper

Or add to your ~/.pi/agent/extensions/package.json:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "wezterm-pi-helper": "^1.0.0"
  }
}

Then run npm install.

How it works

The extension detects WezTerm via the TERM_PROGRAM environment variable. When detected, it overrides ProcessTerminal.prototype.setupStdinBuffer to use Kitty keyboard protocol flags 1+2 (value 3) instead of 1+2+4 (value 7).

  • Flag 1: Disambiguate escape codes
  • Flag 2: Report event types (press/repeat/release)
  • Flag 4: Report alternate keys (causes the bug in WezTerm on WSL2)

Why tmux works without this patch

If you've noticed pi works fine in tmux on WezTerm, that's because tmux intercepts the Kitty protocol query and handles keyboard input itself, masking the buggy WezTerm behavior.
