Brought back an old universal clipping script and updated it to work
better - well, at all. Can now decide between wl-copy, xclip and xsel
and will do so in that order.
Can take clipping material from the following arguments (will clip any
and all following arguments) or from stdin. Stdin has precedence.
Not much more to say really, but makes writing other applications a bit
more universal when they rely on this universal little tool.
Finally made the switch from alacritty to kitty. I have been thinking
about this for a while. Both, fundamentally, serve my purposes just
fine. Both are fast, customizable, gpu accelerated, and so on.
Kitty feels a little faster on the input, but this should not provide
major differences.
One big difference, however, is now very apparent and I can feel it:
Alacritty, on wayland, does not support any picture preview. It does not
support sixel, and things like w3mimg or ueberzug are based on and
require X11 to run.
Kitty brings its own graphics display library and it seems both pretty
stable and fast.
I have not done much more with it than use it in things like vifm image
previews but it should be much more stable than things like ueberzug,
much faster than things like sixel. Time will tell.
Switched other modules to make use of kitty instead of alacritty:
vifm uses kitty previews,
river spawns kitty instances,
systemd units use kitty instances,
waybar presents extra mouse-click interactions through kitty,
and styler contains a processor to style kitty permanently.
I would love to converge this all a bit more on the `$TERMINAL` env var,
but this is unfortunately difficult for things like systemd and waybar.
For waybar I currently see no real way except for a custom
`ideal-terminal` script which just goes down the list of terminal
emulators I want to run, depending on which is installed,
since it does not read env vars,
while for systemd it might be feasible to import user environment
variables,
but also connected to additional complexity and overhead which it does
not seem worth for the currently two simple service units it affects.
Also removed some obsolete sxhkd and sh settings from the move to
wayland.
Added a simple wayland configuration.
Currently set up simple wayland configuration based on river window
manager and waybar.
Rivercarro is the layout manager, being the same in principle as rivertile,
the default layout manager for river, only it comes with smart gaps
(gaps turn off if there is only one window open)
and monocle mode (give one window all space).
Runs `keyd` in the background to replace the old `xcape` capslock switching
(capslock is escape and if held control).
Uses `swaybg` to set a wallpaper.
Added powermenu and lockscreen scripts.
Improved lockscreen script to detect and work for wayland.
Moved old rofi mode 'powermenu' to more general powermenu script,
which works with any rofi-like selector (dmenu, bemenu, wofi, etc.)
Loses some of its design quality but since it was wonky anyway,
and I rarely see the menu,
we could repurpose its functionality for a more general powermenu
concept.
Currently hardcoded for `bemenu` but can be easily swapped and possibly
even extended back to rofi.
Fixed file upload link sharing to clipboard.
Updated rofi-pass to pass-pick.
Made rofi-pass universal and less integrated to rofi - that's also the
reason for the name change.
`pass-pick` works with rofi (default), bemenu or dmenu. In theory it
should also work with any other picker that contains a stdin listing
function similar to dmenu.
It has been definitely tested both on rofi and bemenu.
The best user experience still reigns on rofi, where available keys are
displayed on the picker and the keys themselves make the most sense.
But all functions can be reached from bemenu as well, though the key
mappings are more arbitrary and can not be changed as in rofi.
The autofilling tool works with both xdotool and ydotool, so should work
both on X11 and on Wayland. Ydotool ideally requires its daemon to be
running, otherwise some of the typing may get gut off. Otherwise no
change should be necessary.
Updated qutebrowser open_download for bemenu.
Updated download opening script to work with both rofi and bemenu.
Prefers original rofi implementation but works with both, and can be set
to use a custom dmenu-like file picker as well.
Add brightnessctl and removed custom audio / brightness scripts since they
became unnecessary.
Updated bootstrap script to include system files:
With `keyd` taking its configuration from the `/etc` directory and not
home, a second stow stage was necessary. These stow files are in a
module called `system-packages` inside the top-level `bootstrap` stow
package.
They will not be installed by the default dotfile stow invocation but
have been integrated as an extra step into the install script.
Installing this module requires sudo privileges!
Switched vifm überzug to sixel graphics rendering.
überzug relies on X11 functionality to work, while sixel does not.
Unfortunately, alacritty does not work with sixel graphics yet, only
foot does (somewhat).
Waybar currently runs the gruvbox dark soft color scheme.
Added the old polybar archupdates script to waybar and extended it to
output json format with additional metadata that waybar can read.
Can still output the old plaintext format that polybar expects.
Added a wireguard connection to waybar,shows if currently
connected to either a wireguard or tun VPN service.
If so, shows an icon in the waybar - that can be hovered over to show
the full assigned IP address.
Added an upcoming event display to waybar,
a simple event indicator to show upcoming events on the calendar, on
hovering over it the tooltip lists all upcoming events.
Added `screenshot` script to take simple screenshots and
rectangle region shots of the current output.
Can be invoked through the river shortcut PrintScr:
`PrintScr` - Fullscreen screenshot
`Mod+PrintScr` - Region screenshot
`Shift+PrintScr` - Fullscreen screenshot and file upload
`Mod+Shift+PrintScr` - Region screenshot and file upload
Extended `sharefile` to take paths through stdin and make
use of `fd` if it is found on the system.
Moved pictures and videos back to home directory since they are, first,
not part of a 'media' collection and, second, on a different share to
my personal media assortment.
Renamed fuzzy find functions to simpler and more logical names:
`fzf` to find and select anything recursing from current directory.
`fzfcd` to find and enter any directory recursively under current one.
`fzfhome` to locate and select anything from user's home directory.
Added shortcuts for above commands:
<space>f `fzf`
<space>c `fzfcd`
<space>F `grep` from current directory.
Added shortcuts to create and extract archives:
xx to extract selected archive.
xa to archive selected files, giving name of file under cursor.
xc to archive and compress selected files, giving name of file under
cursor.
Move ability to sync current pane to other one from mapping (c-y) to
command (`:syncme`). This is a command only used once in a while and
does not necessarily need its own full mapping. Additionally, having it
as an invocable command mirrors the built-in `:sync` command to do the
exact opposite - sync the other pane to the selected one.
Improved the automatic directory creation somewhat:
It now looks for either a file existing there (could be a directory,
could be an actual file), or a symbolic link pointing somewhere else.
Only if none of those things are at the xdg location will it try to
create a new directory there.
Additionally, it will set the correct permissions for the whole folder
chain being created, NOT just for the last folder in the chain.
vifm: Switch to new xdg directory structure
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.
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).
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.
Using `gx` the currently selected file(s?) will get extracted,
automatically using the correct extraction program for the compression
algorithm and creating a folder if necessary to avoid a file explosion
in the current directory (all default features of the `atool` program
which is a dependency)
Added preview and opening of doc(x) files with nvim.
Makes use of docx2txt, catdoc to display the files, meaning they are
required.
Added some spellchecking words.
