Since switching to `dash` as the default sh shell, rofi would display
ostensibly hidden strings (like comment tags, or rofi meta options).
This is due to this bug https://github.com/davatorium/rofi/issues/1201
or behavior of dash. Could be possibly fixed by using octal, for now,
the script works with bash rather than sh (i.e. dash).
Added option to input nomie api key either directly as an environment
variable, or to pass a command (also through env var) to nomie which it
will call to get the api key.
So, if you have e.g. pass as password manager running, you can just do
`NOMIE_API_KEY_CMD="pass show path/to/key/file"` and it will use the
returned credentials.
Added a command to send the current page to the outline service, which
acts as a readability layer (and lets you read e.g. medium articles
without pulling your hair out).
Just use the `send-to-outline` command, or use keymapping <leader>bo to
send the current page to outline.
Embiggened default font size in alacritty. I have come to really like it
(and don't need so much real estate at the moment), it shows off the
beauty of my dear Iosevka font, and lets the tmux bottom bar be flush
with my monitor.
Might change it back at some point, but for now it's perfect.
Prepending history with datestamps (which are already correctly saved in
my shell history), so I know WHEN I last run a command (roughly) and can
also search for the dates using `fzfhistory`.
Fixed the completions for the `t` alias that takes over task
functionality on the shell. Only works on zsh, and presumably not on
every system since it relies on some ps trickery to find out the
currently running shell. Maybe there's a better version out there
somewhere...
Added basic distinction into work/personal contexts, since, with my
current job having a complex enough task list I want that either not
cluttering up my enjoyable tasks, or *only* that cluttering up all my
tasks.
Fixed keymap incompabitility introduced with switching to lspsaga code
actions. It used `gc` for normal/visual mode code actions, which I already
make use of for toggling comments in code.
Switched to `ca` instead.
Fixed bug introduced in 15f5f0b when removing the environment variable
for two XDG directories, but not their creation.
The test would check an empty directory for its existence and, not
finding '' to be a directory, attempt to create it instead - resulting
in the attempt to create a directory of an empty string.
amixer mutes all individual output streams when it mutes (master,
speaker, headphone) but only unmutes master by default.
This is a simple fix to unmute everything when we do.
`control-brightness` and `control-volume` both now have the exact same
progress bar indicator.
Additionally, by using the same dunst 'stack' they replace each other if
invoked in quick succession, which I really like.
By invoking key combination fn+F9 (XF86Search button), we can quiet
dunst notifications.
This change will be picked up by polybar and a small do not disturb
symbol is shown in the top bar (a tiny moon).
Both scripts are very simple and make use of a temporary file, so a
little brittle but workable.
`pavolume` was nice, but my own volume script is just more flexible. No
real changes yet, but includes notification through dunst and works the
same way as `control-brightness` script does, just invoked through
`control-volume`.
Added lspsaga to enhance some of the lsp actions I can do - mappings are
mostly the same as before, pretty much all lsp actions can be invoked by
g<mnemonic> (e.g. `gr` for rename, `gh` for symbol help, `gd` for go
definition, `K` for help hover, `gc` for code completion and some more).
`[e` and `]e` move between lsp diagnostic errors.
Switched out many syntax highlighting plugins for treesitter, which is
an experiment for now, but I would love to keep it like this if it works
out.
Added videos directory to vifm quick marks (`v`).
Fixed (hopefully) qutebrowser statusbar hiding and showing.
Improved mail checking script password file handling by switching the
hard-coded path to one still somewhat hard-coded, but encapsulated in a
variable to make changing it later on easier. The script is a bit
slap-dash anyway, so when refactored should be refactored overall.
Added `gallery-dl` handling by mpv, whenever a link starting with
`gdl://` is passed in.
Added `-a` option which can be supplied with an article id that wallr
will open directly.
Article ids can take the absolute form of e.g. `-a 1048` opening article
with id 1048.
They can also take the relative form of e.g. `-a +2` which will open the
third-to-last entry in wallabag, i.e. count backwards from newest.
That means you can use `-a +0` for example to always directly open the
newest entry.
Since I always have entr installed, I can use it to monitor for file
changes and reload the respective git overview panes.
This has the advantage that I can use any interactive displays (e.g.
less) in the respective panes, while still reloading when files actually
change.
I still have to find a way to replicate the switch between git log
and staged changes view whenever files become staged, have not been able
to fix this with entr and it still makes use of the watch command.
Set statusline to show more relevant information, and removed 'tip of
the day' functionality since I've never been looking at it.
Set ruler to show me how many files are hidden in a directory.
Added shortcut to quickly combine a bunch of PDFs (`gc`) that are
selected.
Added shortcut (`<leader>f`) to invoke fzf on current directory and
navigate to the result. This mirrors my vim use and mapping.
Additionally, added commands to invoke the fzf functionality (`:FZFfind`
and `FZFlocate`) by hand.
Lastly, moved the file classification and opening functionality a bit
out of the way.
Should still think about handing off opening files to xdg-open since
that's what it's there for, and only make vifm handle the file preview
stuff (i.e. the opposite window buffer preview).
Removed functionality that auto-saves all currently open windows
whenever vim loses focus, since that function is more bothersome than
helpful (and I remember to save my files 99.9% of the time anyway).
That 0.1% will also be impressed in my memory after forgetting once or
twice.
Simple, experimental replacement for now. Tries to keep the previous key
functionality intact:
use <leader>e to open working directory in vifm, <leader>E to open the
directory of the current file.
Some problems will remain - currently it is hard to navigate away from
an open vifm instance with C-hjkl since it is not recognized as a vim
window anymore.
Additionally, invoking vim functions does not work from the vifm window,
which means that if I start nvim pointing to a directory, i.e. with vifm
open, it not possible for me currently to directly start up fzf to open
another file, or a buffer from the history, or similar.
Fixed 'pushall' option xargs error.
Added dealing with 'main' branch instead of 'master' branch in checkout
and rebase aliases, so that when invoking the commands it will default
to a master branch and fall back to a main branch before complaining
that no corresponding branch exists.
Should (silently) fix git repositories which switched to main in the
last few months, and simultaneously allows me to switch this repository
to main branch (already done.)
Updated the block lists, for qutebrowser's host blocking and its new
brave adblocking.
Fixed some errors in config file, and now formatted with black
formatter.
Should improve default javascript toggling, as well as fix the toggling
of tabs and statusbar at the same time.
I am not entirely sure why
`config-cycle -t tabs.show always switching;; config-cycle -t statusbar.show in-mode always`
works to cycle both at the same time, since (in my head) putting it like
this should *alternate* between both showing. But in fact, it does the
opposite and putting both in the same order (always not-always) will
alternate between them. Why, I do not know.
Use $mod+m to 'mark' the currently highlighted window with any single
letter. (i.e. $mod+m > k will mark the window as k)
You can then refocus the window from any position and any point by
invoking $mod+' (apostrophe), mirroring vim's standard keybinds.
Added plugin to automatically load all files in the current directory
into the playlist on startup.
Will keep files 'before' the current file also 'before' in the playlist,
vice versa for files following in the directory.
Renamed general reader script to `wallr`, indicating wallabag as the
underlying reader input.
Fixed listing of unread articles which showed read articles before.
Added shortcuts to sxhkd's academia mode:
the existing `r` invokes wallr with unread article display;
newly added `shift+r` invokes wallr with all articles displayed.
Added script to easily read wallabag articles on the command line (or
open them in browser), using the wallabag-cli python program in the
background.
Once invoked, will fetch a list of articles (optionally restricted to
read/unread/starred), and allow a choice through fzf.
Will then display the article in the user's preferred pager, editor, or
browser.
Can be invoked through the shell via `reader`, or through sxhkd shortcut
`r` from 'academia' mode (`alt + a`).
Updated pass and surfraw to make use of capital letter shortcuts to keep
the general shortcut space a bit less cluttered (`Super + P/Q`
respectively).
Added a shortcut to automatically enter emoji, using rofimoji, via
`super + E`.
Added a shortcut to invoke a floating file picker which will
automatically be shared through `sharefile`, via `super + U`
`v` used to call nvim and nothing else.
Now, it checks for nvim and calls that,
checks for vim and calls that,
or checks for vi and calls that before failing.
Added freecinc target for syncing tasks over the web.
Using freecinc is easy and relatively painless, which is why, for now,
this is the syncing server I have chosen.
Once the taskwarrior workflow in this setup matures and stabilizes a bit
the syncing target should undoubtedly move to a self-hosted instance of
taskserver, ideally encrypted.
Until then, the tasks currently available will exist *unencrypted* on
the freecinc server.
taskopen still needs to be configured and tested, but is added to the
package list for now, so I don't forget.
Specifically, it at the very least needs to be configured following the
xdg directory configuration model.
Simple today report added, mimicking the overall next report list (i.e.
sorted by urgency), but only focusing on things due today. This reflects
my setup in Todoist a bit better, and should perhaps provide a bit of a
crutch until I get more used to the taskwarrior way of doing things.
Additionally, added a simple fix for the annoying tendency of
taskwarrior to add today's tasks to its overdue list.
This happens because tasks added without a specific time will be added
as due at the very *first* minute of a day (instead of e.g. at the very
last, every task needs an exact time).
This simply removes tasks due today from overdue reports.
This is not perfect! Two things remain: Tasks still carry the virtual
`+OVERDUE` tag around with them, and those tags that actually should be
done at a certain time during the day will also not be shown in the
overdue report - though they definitely are overdue then.
A possible workaround for the second issue is the taskwarrior hook here:
https://gitlab.com/marty-oehme/dotfiles/-/snippets/2054237
But, I am happy enough with the setup as-is for now, without
complicating it with the hook.
To use taskwarrior, an alias to `t` has been created. If you invoke any
taskwarrior command through `t`, it will behave just as taskwarrior
would (just with a shorter name).
If you invoke `t` without any additional arguments, it will instead open
up the tasksh program and let you play around in there.
Uses arch aur-packaged installation of sumneko_lua, and invokes it for
any lua file.
Takes care of some additional configuration to enable easier programming
for neovim itself.
Added opening of docx files from vifm through either pandoc
interpretation as markdown if installed, or docx2txt invocation as a
fallback. (pandoc generally interprets the layout better than docx2txt,
especially contained tables).
Similarly, added option to open pdfs with pdftotext program in neovim,
to edit/grep/view only the text without pdf markup in neovim.
Changed key binding to open selected file in neovim from `o` to `e`,
mimicking the edit command found in some other file viewers.
Switched theme of zsh, just to declutter a little and make startup
slightly faster.
Removed nvm from automatically initializing to majorly speed up zsh
startup times - removing around 750ms on my system.
TODO could potentially move to a conditional startup system, in which
nvm only gets sourced on its first invocation or similar workarounds.
Switched out the suspend action from the rofi powermenu (called through
super + backspace in current sxhkd setup) to instead call hibernate.
This needs a correctly set up system to engage hibernate - all the
documentation necessary can be found at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Power_management/Suspend_and_hibernate
Generally, needs a swap file and resume (i.e. hibernation) correctly set
up in both the kernel parameters and the initramfs.
On this machine (laptop), the way things work now is that simply closing
the lid leads to the default sleep action (suspend), and invoking the
manual rofi-powermenu way will instead completely hibernate the system,
leading to less power usage but taking a little longer to switch off and
restore.
qutebrowser 2.0 changed the option names for host blocking, and this
update simply fixes that change accordingly. See your
qute://help/changelog.html#v2.0.0 file.
