# dotfiles Read-Me and Roadmap
|
|
|
|
## Quick-Start
|
|
|
|
There are two ways of using these dotfiles:
|
|
|
|
To fully provision a completely new arch linux setup
|
|
|
|
`$ curl -Lks http://bit.do/marty-dot | sudo /bin/bash`
|
|
|
|
Or, to **only** use these dotfiles two steps are necessary
|
|
|
|
1. install git & zsh if not already installed on your machine (should often already be available)
|
|
1. run `chsh -s /bin/zsh` to switch the shell to zsh
|
|
1. go to home directory & run `git clone https://gitlab.com/marty-oehme/dotfiles.git df && cp -rf df/.git ~/ && rm -rf df && cd ~ && git checkout -f master`
|
|
1. install tmux (or remove the corresponding tmux config entries) [this should not be necessary anymore since tmux scripts check for an installation]
|
|
1. install a powerline compatible font (nerdfont patched fira code is what I use)
|
|
|
|
## Introduction & Idea
|
|
|
|
[The basic ideas](https://www.anishathalye.com/2014/08/03/managing-your-dotfiles/)
|
|
|
|
[My Set-Up](https://developer.atlassian.com/blog/2016/02/best-way-to-store-dotfiles-git-bare-repo/) -- just exchange alias config with alias dotfiles (is already done *in* the dotfiles)
|
|
|
|
## Examples & Inspiration
|
|
|
|
|
|
[holman dotfiles](https://github.com/holman/dotfiles) -- dotfiles from the dotfiles-are-meant-to-be-forked dude. Peruse and steal what looks good
|
|
|
|
[LukeSmith dotfiles / LARBS setup, use it for my initial bootstrap](https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/LARBS)
|
|
|
|
[Github does dotfiles, a whole array of dotfile setups to choose from](https://dotfiles.github.io)
|
|
|
|
[awesome dotfiles](https://github.com/webpro/awesome-dotfiles) -- way more info on dotfiles than you ever needed
|
|
|
|
[VSCode & Vue focused dotfiles setup](https://github.com/sobolevn/dotfiles) -- looks interesting, maybe steal some tidbits
|

# Roadmap
|
|
|
|
## Perfectly setting up Arch
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Fix ReadMe.txt being copied into home dir when cloning dotfiles.
|
|
- [x] Re-Map caps lock to ctrl
|
|
- [ ] Automatically switch between US/DE keyboard layout for laptop/pc
|
|
this should probably be done with loadkeys and keymap per pc in zshrc or a config derivative
|
|
see esp https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Linux_console/Keyboard_configuration#Creating_a_custom_keymap
|
|
so we could load de-latin1/en-us, specified in the branch that is checked out. and then apply a custom
|
|
keymap over it to apply universal customizations, like Capslock=Control and so on.
|
|
- [ ] automatically install xcape to enable capslock remapping functionality
|
|
|
|
## Overall Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- [x] Set up Copy and Paste in X -- using clipmenud&clipnotify.
|
|
I can copy stuff to and from urxvt w alt+ctrl+c/v, w/o alt for the rest of the system. invoke clipmenu to show last clips.
|
|
- [-] Install & Configure Compton
|
|
Put on hold for now. What do I need it for? transparency? shadows? maybe removing screen-tearing.
|
|
: Will perhaps re-investigate when i want to use e.g. windowsflash - to highlight the currently active i3 window
|
|
- [ ] Setup i3
|
|
- [x] Window switching shortcuts
|
|
- [x] Set up leaving question w/o mouse
|
|
- [x] Closing/Opening of windows shortcuts
|
|
- [ ] Multi-monitor setup (w/ barrier)
|
|
- [ ] Set up initial load of windows to specific screens
|
|
- [ ] Get Barrier running
|
|
Barrier by default installs the deps for its GUI (qt5 etc) -- if no GUI is necessary run it with build args to *not* make GUI (available in aur)
|
|
: try to get a nicely working setup in the gui in antergos and then copy this to this .file repo, no gui necessary
|
|
- [-] Install & Configure rofi
|
|
Happy with dmenu for now
|
|
Could use https://github.com/enkore/j4-dmenu-desktop to get a faster menu, independent of i3.
|
|
- [ ] Install & Configure polybar
|
|
- [theme ideas](https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes)
|
|
- [community scripts](https://github.com/x70b1/polybar-scripts)
|
|
- [ ] Set up ranger
|
|
Set up video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6Vu7WPkoJo
|
|
- [ ] set up fzf for ranger
|
|
- [ ] set up movement,newtab,copy,move behavior
|
|
- [ ] set up visual selection
|
|
- [ ] set up tar-ing/untar-ing
|
|
- [ ] Set up sxiv/feh
|
|
- [ ] set up (n)vim
|
|
set jk to get out of modes
|
|
-> using xcape can accomplish mapping escape to capslock when released on its own.
|
|
That way we can get out of insert mode with jk AND capslock, whichever we prefer.
|
|
- [ ] Get Password Sync going (enpass?)
|
|
- [ ] Set up integrations with my hosted setup
|
|
- [ ] dmenu script and look [see ~10minutes in for automounting using dmenu example](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKviflL9XeI)
|
|
- [ ] Set up *in the cloud* ide and dev environment (gce perhaps)
|
|
- [ ] Investigate mondo - automatic re-theming (can cycle through multiple themes and reload your .files etc)
|
|
- [ ] Use tmux for one main editing session. Use a single vim instance within this session.
|
|
for music, quick exporations etc other urxvt instances are fine?
|
|
can we use i3 to, when pressing mod+enter, not just open a new term but find out if tmux is running
|
|
and either open new tmux pane or new term if it is not?
|
|
- [ ] Look at ack to replace grep (https://beyondgrep.com/why-ack/) -> look at the talk for ideas of customization
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Restoration & Atomicity
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Make it possible to get an arch install up and running with the same settings with a couple commands either
|
|
- [ ] Set up file system backup to restore from (borg backup)
|
|
- [ ] Set up meta-packages & dotfiles to clone from
|
|
- [ ] Set up ansible to automatically bootstrap Arch for both desktop & laptop
|
|
|
|
## Dotfiles
|
|
|
|
- [x] Make the dotfiles status command automatically not show untracked files (i.e. most files in homedir) -- [fix](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dotfiles)
|
|
|
|
## ZSH, dotfile installation
|
|
|
|
- ~
|
|
- .zgenrc
|
|
- .zshrc
|
|
- .zgenrc.d/
|
|
- .Xresources
|
|
- .xres/
|
|
- .config/
|
|
- .tmux/
|
|
|
|
- .zsh/
|
|
- .zgen/
|
|
|
|
- [x] I would like my home folder to be a bit more manageable, ideally it would *only* contain
|
|
- .zshrc
|
|
- .bashrc
|
|
- .xinitrc
|
|
- .Xresources as files and:
|
|
- .ssh/ -- ssh related configuration ->
|
|
*secret* stuff which should not be kept in the repo
|
|
(an ssh setup script e.g. should be kept in dotfiles if it does not contain keys etc.)
|
|
- .config/ -- program configuration.
|
|
If it changes how *another* program on the computer runs, it should go in configuration.
|
|
- .dotfiles/ -- the version history etc of my dotfiles (i.e. handled by git)
|
|
- [x] Re-Organize zsh.d/ config files
|
|
after organizational pattern in .zshrc (e.g. move k-alias script to internal script dependencies)
|
|
- [ ] Modify larbs setup script to ask for dotfile installation,
|
|
- [ ] Installation should ask *which* submodules of programs in csv to install:
|
|
(should be distinguished somehow, perhaps with tags) as in
|
|
'Audio' packages, 'Music' packages, 'xorg' packages, 'Window Manager' packages (maybe use pkg groups?)
|
|
- [x] todo command alias to open up a preconfigured todo file OR a todoist cli (if i find a good one)
|
|
https://github.com/sachaos/todoist looks good. Needs to be synched and works best with peco -- see readme.
|
|
A working alias set might be useful here to set up commands for interaction
|
|
Todo Alias opens ROADMAP.md for now.
|
|
- [ ] readme command alias to open up the current project README.md
|
|
or ask to create a new one if none is found in current dir / parent dirs
|
|
- [ ] check for existence of xcape before trying to invoke its command in 5-capslock-to-ctrl
|
|
- [ ] make :q quit the terminal (perhaps doing alias as exit), :wq save the session in tmux and quit out of it
|
|
|
|
## URxvt
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Enable Ctrl+Arrows to jump back/forward word-wise;
|
|
- [x] enable (easy) copy/paste - Ctrl+Shift+C/V?
|
|
Copy paste works with Alt+Ctrl+C/V, text needs to be selected (only mouse for now) - does *not* work in tmux yet
|
|
- [ ] Select text with Shift keys
|
|
- [ ] enable some sort of command mode a-la vim?
|
|
- [ ] Unify tab switching -- mod+num for workspaces, alt+num for tabs (in qutebrowser,urxvt,fm,...)
|
|
- [ ] enable unified copy paste throughout whole system
|
|
- [ ] enable vim quitting - q to exit session, wq to save as tmux session and quit
|
|
|
|
## mpv
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Enable Seeking with vim controls (hjkl)
|
|
- [ ] Open file shortcut?
|
|
- [ ] Set up playlist creation from browser/yt etc
|
|
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/TOOLS/umpv
|
|
will have 'umpv' command be a unique mpv instance for which any additional play item will get
|
|
*appended* -> perfect for playists. (see script for more info)
|
|
|
|
## qutebrowser
|
|
|
|
- [x] Open current page/ hint link in mpv (Ctrl + m / M)
|
|
https://qutebrowser.org/FAQ.html - commands for settings.
|
|
- [ ] Make it use umpv script in dotfiles confing to enable playlist queuing.
|
|
- [ ] Fix for getting stuck in text-field:
|
|
Either press tab (works sometimes to select next element)
|
|
or do this https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2668
|
|
## i3
|
|
|
|
- [x] Switch to hjkl
|
|
- [ ] Make custom workspaces: 1 - browser, 2 - term, 9 - agenda, 0 - music
|
|
- [ ] Superkey to Right Shift
|
|
- [x] Alias Capslock to shift - aliased to Ctrl now
|
|
- [ ] make it work with laptop as 2nd monitor
|
|
if I switch over to left window from i3, i want to land on the right window of my laptop as the next selection
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Various important packages
|
|
|
|
- i3 [i3blocks, i3gaps]
|
|
- tmux
|
|
- pulseaudio (&pavucontrol)
|
|
- lightdm, lightdm-mini-greeter
|
|
- nvidia, nvidia-utils etc
|
|
- xorg-xinit, xorg-server, xorg-apps
|
|
- mopidy, mopidy-spotify, mopidy-spotify-tunigo, ncmpcpp or iris
|
|
- xcape - to enable capslock to act as control and escape at the same time
|
|
