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.
Quickly put up a file server in the current directory by typing `serve`
and the rest is figured out automatically.
Makes use of `sfz`, `gossa`, `rossa` in that order to set up the file
server.
Fix sh module packages to make more extensive use of the exist program
that also ships with the sh module.
Simplifies intent of the code and makes it much easier to read.
The autostart function would accidentally start multiple new graphical
sessions in one terminal when connected to the machine over sshd.
This should fix multiple starts while keeping the old functionality and
speed of checking intact.
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 some simple aliases that were missing from the vi → vim → neovim
chain.
Can be useful for the odd moment when one does not know which exact vim
is installed.
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.
Added another building block program. This program will be required
going forward in other modules. `version_at_least` takes two version
numbers and returns true if the second is higher than the first.
That means primarily it is useful to check if a program fulfills a
minimum required version, e.g.: `version_at_least 2.1 $(my_program -v)`.
Will be primarily useful for git version checking in the near future.
It has a second possibility of checking for ordered version numbers
passed in but this is of less use. Check source for more information.
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.
Added script to sh base package to allow checking for internet
connectivity. Checks both through system virtual filesystem and, as a
fallback, through pinging google dns.
Added a simple readme to sh module.
Moved previous default (paper) compilation target for pandoc to its own
file (paper.latex) and saved the current default as a backup file.
This should fix some issues with compilation to PDF, especially with
vertical spacing and quotes which would fail intermittently otherwise.
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
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 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.
`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.
The `nl` preview was still stuck in the default fzf options for a while
and does not work with most things that it is intended for. Removing it
is vastly preferable to the half useless preview window on any fzf
invocation.
A true default preview window may either be possible through a separate
script looking for the right command to invoke, or for individual fzf
invocations which then simple use the correct commands in the first
place (see e.g. `fzfyay`, or `fzfyayrns`).
`fzfyay` and `fzfyayrns` now also respect paru if it is installed on the
system. They will default to yay and fall back to paru.
Renamed the syu file to yay, since it more explicitly captures the
concept in my mind.
Added `--bottomup` option to any paru operation since that is the way I
expect it to work: the 'closest' option is also closest to the
commandline.
Removed outdated `syu` symlink which just hooks into topgrade.
Replaced it with simple function that tries for topgrade, paru, yay,
pacman, in that order. Can still be invoked with simple `syu` command,
but *only* through interactive terminal use.
Switched git pre-commit hook to default to paru instead of yay when
compiling installed package lists for dotfile commits.
Added function to fuzzily search through any documents using rga.
Function code adapted from https://github.com/phiresky/ripgrep-all
Can be interactively searched, should be reasonably fast once indexing
is finished.
tab and shift-tab will select up and down,
ctrl-g moves to the first entry,
ctrl-t toggles the preview window on and off,
ctrl-d/ctrl-u scroll through the preview window.
By default, a preview window of the contents of whatever file is
currently selected will be displayed.
I would rather have the preview hidden by default, but it is hidden in
the default options it becomes hard to show it automatically again for
individual commands, so this seems a better compromise.
We already have a file which is strictly dedicated to xdg setting
environment variables and taking care of folder creations.
Using xdg-user-dirs as an application was basically doubling up on that.
Also, I don't need my directories localized - I just want them to point
to exactly where they should.
`fzfman` will gather all manpage topics and display them in a fzf list
to choose from. Selection will open the corresponding manpage.
Other fzf- functions have been standardized in their naming scheme:
fzf and the function without any spaces, e.g.
`fzfhistory`, `fzfyay`, `fzfyayrns`.
Changed sxhkd being hard-coded to use alacritty as a terminal. Though I
don't see myself switching soon, changed the shortcut to make use of the
already existing environment variable "$TERMINAL" which gets set as part
of my basic env settings on the machine.
Added pre-defined filter for styler entries, removing 256 color versions
of base16 themes, as well as all atelier styles. I never use -256
versions of the themes so they can be hidden. If I want to use an
atelier style (which is rarely), I can quickly remove the pre-defined
filter since it is the last one added.
Added a mapping to academia mode which shows *all* due papers, to get an
overview at a glance. Uses F3, so that academia mappings go F1->F3 from
most restricted to most encompassing views.
Added `fontfamilies` alias which tries to remove duplicate entries from
the `fc-list` command and display them. Can be used for easy finding of
installed font-families, thus the name.
Added optional third argument to exist script which can be used to
identify the program or process that needs the command exist looks for.
This makes it easier to identify *who* called exist and is missing
something.
Removed dimswitch script. I liked it but it has been utterly superseded
by styler; if wanting to switch light and dark I can just switch to
light or dark base16 theme and do not have to rely on alacritty config
file hacking through dimswitch (well, now just through styler, yay.)
exist script will print message to stdout even if it prints to notify,
this makes more sense since now passing a loudness factor just adds it
to the message, instead of replacing printed message with libnotify.
Added stow ignores to top-level files. Not entirely sure if it is
needed, but they were linked on my system and the change shouldn't hurt.
Renamed ifinstalled to exist, moved it into base shell module. It can be
called with just a command name to check for, or with an additional
libnotify urgency level (low, normal, critical).
If called with an urgency as the second argument, the user will be
notified of the missing command with the corresponding urgency.
Fixes tmux xdg-compliance (and, more importantly, Tmux Plugin Manager's)
by setting the environment variable TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH to follow
xdg specifications. Tmux, due to not being xdg-compliant, needs to be
aliased to start with the `-f` option pointing into the configuration
directory.
Fixes tmux vim nagigator's controls being overwritten by other control
schemes in tmux.
The only file left in $HOME is .zshenv, which sets up zsh to source everything from XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zsh.
Shell files are split into sh and zsh directories, for global assignments (which should be posix compliant, work on any posix shell) like environemnt variables, xdg vars, and global aliases. zsh contains zsh specific customization (prompt customization, plugin loading, zsh completions).
Zsh initialization will pull from sh directory first, loading the respective mirror to its startup file (`.zprofile` loads `sh/profile` and `profile.d/*`, `.zshenv` loads `sh/env` and `sh/env.d/*` and `zsh/env.d/*`, `.zshrc` loads `sh/alias`, `sh/alias.d/*` and `zsh/alias.d/*`)
Once all is done, it will have loaded both global variables, aliases and settings, and zsh-only specifications. Other stow modules, if they want to add shell functionality, can include their aliases and functions in one of the above directories to automatically be picked up by zsh.
