<p>In Nyxt, every buffer has its own configuration (state). Hence, by applying modes such as nosound-mode, we can change a buffer's state- muting it.</p>
|
|
<p>But, what if you wanted to mute multiple buffers? Or maybe all of them?</p>
|
|
<p>Well, this can be done! First, you need to execute the command enable-mode (<code>C-space</code> <code>enable-mode</code>).</p>
|
|
<p>Then, the prompt will ask you which buffers you would like to act on. Using <code>M-a</code> (alt-a) you can select all of them if you want.</p>
|
|
<p>After pressing return with the chosen buffers being selected, you will see another list with all modes available to use. In this illustrative example, we are using nosound-mode.</p>
|
|
<p>After choosing nosound-mode, you'll notice that all sound coming from your selected buffers will be muted. If you go and check each previously selected buffer you will notice that <code>nosound-mode</code> is displayed in the status bar.</p>

|
|
<p>This idea can be easily generalized, and you can think of enable-mode as a leverage to do similar things with other modes. For instance, putting all (or some) buffers in dark-mode when you're feeling like batman :)</p>
|
|
<p>If you like math, think about this as a function composition <strong>f(g(x), xs)</strong>. Enable-mode (<em>f</em>) receives a list of variables/buffers (<em>xs</em>) and a function <em>g</em> (another Nyxt mode) that will be applied to each variable (<em>x</em>).</p>
|
|
<p>This is pretty different from the regular user experience of clicking in and out in each tab of those popular browsers out there, right?</p>
|
|
<p>And this is just an appetizer, stay tuned. May the power of Nyxt be with you!</p>
