Greedy bustards hiked price in regional currencies (28% in my case) right before I decided to buy a dlc! Even Factorio (legendary for no sale policy) haven't hiked yet. Great game btw.

It's because gtk+ 4 will no longer support general-purpose loadable modules – the very feature which makes the palette possible. Also the maintainer is disappointed with the attitude of GNOME to third party developers: https://github.com/p-e-w/argos/issues/75#issuecomment-475844...

There is a proposal[0] but I'm afraid it's pretty much dead now.

Re:Firefox Experiments I Would Have Liked to Try on Monday March 04, 2019 @08:34PM (#19307390)
It is possible to write extensions (aka WebExtensions Experiments) which are pretty much as powerful as the old Addons; the cost is that one can run them only with Developer/Beta/Aurora release of Firefox and there are no guarantees for stability of internal Firefox APIs [0][1][2].

So I managed to write a proof of concept extesion [3] which exposes API to create sequence keyboard shortcuts (eg. Ctrl+x Ctrl+c in emacs) and creates bindings to Awesome Bar prefixes for filtering suggestions [4]. Although it is heavy experimental by now.

I suppose it may be pretty easy from here to add a feature for managing all the built-in shortcuts and commands of the browser.

Besides I think there are some effords to improve shortcuts stuff in Firefox [5].
