I'd like to regain control of my browsing bookmarks with a simpler solution
using `dmenu`, `i3`, and a text file.
TODO: drop support for Chrome bookmarks by porting all remaining bookmarks to
bookmarks.txt
NOTE: maybe change bookmarks.txt to bookmarks.json to support nesting. Could be
simply with `jq`.
This comes with the default configuration on i3. I removed this KBD originally
because I was hoping to use the $mod+{,Shift+}t KBDs frequently. I still do, but
as I get more comfortable with i3, splits, parent containers, etc. I may prefer
to create terminals this way. We'll see...
May need to find a better KBD for `snip_it`, since I really enjoy Tmux's M-s to
switch sessions.
Learned about i3's "edge" concept. Re-supported KBDs for settings split
directions. Also adjusted theme colors.
Also adjusts the formatting of the timezone information to show GMT as LON, EST
as NYC, and Pacific as MTV.
I originally dropped support for these because I wanted to imitate OSX's
screenshot KBDs, which were mod+Shift+{3,4}. I'm not sure I want to imitate OSX
now that I don't have any Apple hardware besides my iPhone. I'm getting more
forgetting those KBDs. At the moment, however, I cannot find a better KBD for my
snip_it function. Stay tuned...
Separated i3/configuration since some of my devices support XFree86 keysyms
while others do not. This introduced some cascading changes.
- Removed ~/.config/i3/config from this repo. Since I will be switching between
devices semi-regularly and that file will be generated each time I switch to a
different device running an X session, I don't want the i3/config to spam my
`gst` and `gd` when I haven't changed configuration in either config.shared or
config.device.
- Update aliases, variables, etc. to point to config.shared instead of the
generated file.
- Ensure that X sessions generate the i3/config file.
- Ensure that i3 reload and restart command generate the i3/config file.
This change affects:
- alias e
- i3 KBDs
- .xsessionrc
It will be interesting to see how this works over SSH. In theory, the
ALTERNATE_EDITOR variable should kick in and `vim` should be used. Time will
tell if this is the preferred setup. Until then...
Dropping support for OSX. Moving forward these dotfiles will depend on Linux
systems. Furthermore, since I'm support a ~/bin, the machines that consume these
dotfiles depend on i386 architectures. Linux and i386 are two dependencies that
I'm okay with since the leverage this assumption provides, makes their existence
tolerable.
There is some Google leakage herein, which includes aliases, functions, and
mentions of cloudtop. For now, this is okay. I may break the Google specific
code into its own repository, but for now, this is less maintenance.
This also introduces a ~/.profile instead of erroneously defining environment
variables in my zshrc file, which was unadvised.
This is a large commit and also introduces new aliases, variables, functions
that I accumulated over the past week or so while migrating away from OSX and
onto my new setup. Hopefully in the future I'll be more precise with my commits.
