Should I fork the fenster library?

Would provide the following benefits:

  • All the fenster code is within my control
  • I could add Wayland support
  • I could improve the window:loop() return value, making sure it exits cleanly instead of erroring
  • I could improve upon the window options like disabling resize
  • I could improve the window.modcontrol, window.modshift, etc. update conditions, so the modifier keys are updated even without pressing another key
  • I could see if there is a native scaling feature, instead of scaling it manually in lua-fenster

I should also check out existing forks of fenster and some of the PRs there. Maybe someone implemented some of the improvements above already.

Give this a 👍🏻 if you want me to start my own fork!

I have started my own fork: https://github.com/jonasgeiler/fenster Let's see how much work I will actually put into it, but there are a few fixes that probably don't take much...
