26bc3c01e5 Update displays.el
Today is my first day back in the office at Google (this time at MP2 in
Sunnyvale)! As such, I have a new desk, new monitors, so expect some changes to
my configuration until I stabilize everything.

b70dda5dcb Refactor window-manager-logout
`sudo systemctl suspend` wasn't working because it required a secure password
prompt to read the user's password for `sudo`. The recommended way to call
`shell-command` with a `sudo` command (from what I read online) is to set
`default-directory` to `/sudo::` before calling `shell-command`. This works just
fine, so I refactored the function, `window-manager-logout`.

2e1ccb7a90 Uninstall telegram-desktop
I'm spending way too much time on Telegram (both on my phone and on my
computer). I'm going to remove it from my computer, so that I can better focus.

fbd5e7fb18 Remove evil dependency from window-manager.el
When `keybindings` requires `window-manager`, the `evil-want-integration`
warning emerges. If I remove the `evil` dependency from `window-manager`, it
resolves the issue.

f3ee628a4c Support display-arrangement macro
I was tired of using `arandr` to manually configure my monitor positions, so I
encoded the settings in Elisp in the `display.el` module.

TL;DR:
- Drop support for `position` kwarg in `display-register` macro
- Support `coords` kwarg in `display-register`.
- `defconst` the `xrandr` arguments and command in `display-register`.
- Define `display-arrangement` macro that consumes the `xrandr` arguments that
  `display-register` defines to create an interactive function,
  `display-arrange-<NAME>`, which -- when invoked -- runs one xrandr command to
  configure a display "arrangement".

4187e888c8 Disable company-mode during git commits
Why didn't I configure this earlier? For years, my workflow involved checking a
buffer's major mode and then extending that major-mode's hook. Confusingly (to
me), the `major-mode` for `COMMIT_EDITMSG` is `text-mode`, and I didn't want to
disable `company-mode` for *all* `text-mode` buffers, which is what the
following would have done:

```elisp
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda () (company-mode -1))
```

Thankfully I recently invested some time into learning more about Emacs's
offline help system, `Info-mode`, so -- putting that knowledge to work -- I ran
`info-apropos` and searched "magit commit". After ~5 minutes of reading I knew
the recommended way of configuring this was to modify `git-commit-setup-hook`.

How validating!

6eac1de187 Debug Emacs initialization
Since "Briefcase" doesn't exist, `window-manager--switch` fails and so does
`exwm-init-hook`. It'd be nice to catch these errors earlier...

ce61987959 Extend named-workspace struct to include display information
I want to couple my EXWM workspaces with monitors. E.g. - I'd like my "Chatter"
workspace to prefer my `4k-vertical`. This change supports that.

I also did a small amount of formatting, which I don't think belongs in a
separate commit.

fc0c795c4e Debug failed Emacs initialization
My newly minted macro for defining monitors introduced two bugs:
1. Laptop defined its position in terms of 4k-horizontal and 4k-horizontal
   defined its position in terms of laptop, I introduced a circular dependency.
2. The identifier, `laptop-monitor`, which `window-manager.el` depends on, is
   now defined as `laptop`.

A friendly reminder to myself to always test new Emacs builds to make sure that
everything can initialize properly. This is something that my CI should be
automating, but ever since I moved flats, I lost my CI and need to restore it.

This is another reminder to drop into a TTY when Emacs fails to initialize, run
`nix-env --rollback`, then attempt to restart X. But this time, debugging this
entirely from a TTY wasn't so disappointing.

831dba20bf Define display-4k-vertical
I recently acquired a new monitor, which I'm orienting vertically for logs,
chats, etc. As such I needed to add more functions, KBDs to wrangle the
setup. To DRY up my code, I define a macro, `display-register`, as a DSL for
supporting new monitors. This:
- defines two functions for enabling and disabling the displays
- defines a constant, `display-<name>`

It's basically just a wrapper around `xrandr`, and that's good enough for now.

34ec3104f7 Debug dottime in modeline
My modeline was displaying the local time (not UTC time) and appending the UTC
timezone offset, which was confusing me.

When it was `00:03` in London, my modeline would read `00:03+01`. One way of
interpreting this is that it's `00:03` in London and the `+01` is a reminder
that I'm one hour ahead of UTC. However, I was reading it as though it was
`00:03` UTC and thus `01:03` in London.

I had to set `display-time-string-forms` instead of `display-time-string` to
pass the `t` argument to the `ZONE` parameter to indicate that I'd prefer to use
UTC time and not local time when expanding the variables.

2edcaca6b4 Expose path to GOOGLE_BRIEFCASE as env var
After ~1-2 hours of debugging, I realized that locally I was reading from .envrc

ideally handle this, so for now I'm including GOOGLE_BRIEFCASE as an environment
variable and moving on with my life.
