Added atuin for nice shell history. Trying it out for now
but seems non-intrusive enough that I will probably keep
it for a while even if I don't use it.
Switched terminal environments (bash,zsh,nushell) to starship
prompt (from pure-prompt/no prompt). Is mimicking the pure-
prompt however, so no big change visible. Needs additional
package on the system, which is added to the packages.
Some remaining issues with nushell (vi prompt indicator).
Replaced or extended all default references to zathura with
sioyek so it will automatically take on any tasks meant
for pdf reading. With the current configuration, hardly a
change should be noticed.
fasd is unmaintained and slower than zoxide. The transferral
was painless. I imported my old database and can continue as
before. It does not care about files but that is completely
fine for me. Same `z` invocation as before. Has the
'interactive' mode on `zi` which is also completely fine.
Papis now installed through pipx instead of pacman - reason being that
it allows me to inject plugins only found on github (papis-tui) and also
install my own plugin while they do not exist on the AUR.
Micro is out, I have actually never used the editor after first install.
Tectonic is in, a wonderful platform to process LaTeX files with.
Beets gets the plugins I am using injected through pipx.
Vale is out, if we need it on a system we install with nvim mason.
Pipewire-roc is in, wonderful way to stream audio in local networks.
Packages managed through pipx (and pipx itself) are now also
installed in the initial process. They are marked as coming
from 'P' source in the package TSV. There is a special field
for these packages which declares any injections made by pipx
which will also automatically get injected into the pipx
environment on installation.
Removed long overdue unclutter package which is used on
X11 but we switched to wayland around two years ago
now. For this setup, the river window manager takes
care of hiding and showing the mouse pointer.
Set up wezterm to continue to use Iosevka for everything *except*
italics (in all weights) which will instead be displayed by the Victor
font.
This ultimately results in cursive fonts for italics and Iosevka for
everything else, very pretty.
Switching from my custom, brittle, styling implementation `styler` to
the wonder `flavours` program which does exactly the same only with more
clarity, faster and - I would presume - more stable.
Split the lists into two, with testing getting automatically updated on
packages added (and removed, but only if the package to be removed is
*not* in stable packages already).
This way, I can always be sure that I have my stable setup in the
repository, but packages that I am temporarily testing have a place
without being forgotten and I can more easily change them around until
they find a place in stable or get thrown out.
