Never used the compile script for years now, and I neither see that
changing nor the files being of any use anymore. They were something I
whipped up when I first started getting into Linux and bash scripting
(and as such a little nostalgic I suppose) but nothing that has actual
purpose anymore.
I rewrote and extended the nsxiv-rifle script recently, and this change
now: removes the old script, adds the new one as a submodule into the
repository and links a working binary into the path.
The new script is essentially still just an image grabber-and-opener,
but supports more image viewers, is a little more advanced and can for
example replace arbitrary parts of urls (and is documented a little more
nicely).
Make qutebrowser use new script and remove leftover references to
nsxiv-rifle. Qutebrowser also gets a third option of viewing images, now
there are:
,i -> open selected link in imageviewer
,I -> open current page in imageviewer
,<C-i> -> open selected image in imageviewer
Added hacky script to quickly cut apart dual-screen wallpapers.
I run two 1920x1080 screens side-by-side, so I just cut double wide
wallpapers in two and display one on each screen.
Script is very inflexible on probably not too useful for the future but
it works for its purposes now.
Lets vidl download to a temporary directory first (by default
~/downloads can be changed through "$TEMP_FOLDER") before moving
downloaded files to target directory as last step.
Massively increases download speed if final directory is on a slow HDD
or a network drive (since otherwise ffmpeg is computing on these slow
devices themselves).
Opens basically any path, local or remote in nsxiv.
Can take multiple paths to open all of them.
Additionally, alias whichever version of the image viewer is available
on the system as `iv`, using `nsxiv-rifle`, `nsxiv`, `sxiv` in order of
preference.
Added quick way to translate from anywhere with the Mod+Shift+T mapping.
Will open a bemenu window into which text to be translated can be input
(as well as any translation options) and will return in another bemenu
window. From there, selected text can be put on the clipboard for easy
pasting.
Internally uses a simple wrapper script for translate-shell on which the
translation is based.
Closes#12.
Added queuing to vidl downloader - will collect newly added files to
download to a queue.
(by default in ($XDG_DATA_HOME/ or ~/.local/share)/vidl/vidl_queue)
The queue of links can be interacted with like any other file.
When vidl is already running it keeps a lock-file active in .cache
directory so only one instance of vidl can ever be running
simultaneously.
When adding new links to vidl, it will now put them in a queue (file)
from which it then begins downloading links one after the other. Only
one downloading instance of vidl will ever be running, but you can still
add more links by invoking it again while it is.
Added one new command line option `-c` to quickly empty the queue and
start over.
Fixes#8.
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.
Added script for downloading videos with ytdl or any of its derivatives.
The script is adapted from one in my rapberry pi setup which serves
videos remotely, and makes some hardcoded assumptions that might not be
the best for all situations.
Added archive script which takes a file and puts a hardlink to it into
an arbitrary archival folder. This means even if the original file is
deleted its data stays on disk because of its hardlinked archive
version.
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 lockscreen trapping and media pausing for lockscreen.
When it is invoked `lockscreen`, all media will be attempted to be pause
and the system will be muted.
Then the lockscreen is engaged.
This should happen automatically when the screen shuts off or the system
suspends or hibernates and can be invoked manually, as before, with
super+x shortcut.
Removed the ascii-art bar animations calculated for e.g. dunst
notifications for the controls of brightness and volume.
The dunst notifications finally have a working bar slider built into
them when invoked with the correct stack option.
Fixed invocations of vifm only passing through the first commandline
option, now passes through everything correctly.
Also fixed silencing of the stderr, stdout redirection.
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.
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.
`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 `-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.
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`).
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 notifications on changing brightness, will stack by default to
show the current level before disappearing.
The script to change and notify can be run through the command
`control-brightness`, and is bound to the sxhkd media key shortcuts for
brightness changes.
Removed the brightness indicator from polybar since it should be easy
enough to check current brightness by doing a quick higher-lower and
that's it.
Kept the module in polybar configuration script since I might reconsider
its removal if it turns out to have been useful.
Sending links to mpv limits the quality to 1080p, to be able to stream
it with my connection, and since I can not display more.
Fixed mpv taking ages to open for ytdl streams. (or anything else which
takes a while to load)
Mpv had to wait until it had enough buffer to begin playing and only
then would open its main window. With this fix it immediately opens the
window, and starts playing whenever it is ready.
`benchmark` can be invoked with an executable file after it. It will
output the running time in milliseconds. Depends on gnu date being
installed on the system.
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.
Fixed compile script to not use ifinstalled anymore.
HACK Fixed compile script to correctly pass through output targets to
RMarkdown, through the implementation is very rough currently.
It will look for additional arguments passed through and run RMarkdown
rendering once for each target. It would presumably be faster (and at
the very least more elegant) to pass all arguments through at once, but
I am not sure how to pass arguments through shell surrounded with
quotes.
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.
Having a general script folder makes little sense if the scripts are
targeted to specific applications. This commit moved every script that
solely, or mainly (like ueberzug), targets a single application into
that respective stow module.
Added tmux session chooser. Aliased to `tm`, calling `tmux_attach_start`
(the original tm script).
When called without arguments displays a fzf list of currently running
tmux sessions, with a preview to their respective open panes. A session
can be chosen in fzf which tmux will attach itself to. When creating a
query in fzf which does not have a valid target and confirming, tmux
will automatically create that session and attach itself to it.
When called with an argument, tmux will attach itself or create a
session of the same name. If called with the name of a session file, as
before, tmux will automatically execute that session file and attach
itself to it.
