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 seems to resemble Atom's One Dark theme that I'm using in Vim, Emacs,
wallpaper already. Would be nice to keep everything consistent. I should update
the i3 Status Bar and Chrome to support One Dark themes as well.
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...
See the comment for an explanation about this revision.
- we want to support to GUI
- it's difficult to reuse GUI windows elegantly unless the server is started
from the GUI itself
- consider starting the emacs GUI when X initializes
`company-mode' can be pretty noisy in some modes. In fact, I'm writing this in
`fundamental-mode', which is proving to be equally as noisy as the
auto-completion in `markdown-mode'. Stay tuned for an update that disables
`company-mode' in fundamental mode.
This is intended to be an i3 status bar integration eventually. As long as the
monzo_creds file stays encrypted and out of a public GH repository, this should
be fairly secure.
This is a bit of a workaround since ideally wpc/ensure-kbds and wpc/kbds minor
mode should eclipse the major-mode's KBDs. I couldn't fully debug the issue, and
in the interest of getting on with things, I resolved to just unbind those keys.
It appears that (auto-fill-mode 1) may be buffer-local. Adding a hook to
fundamental-mode to ensure auto-fill-mode is enabled for most buffers. Stay
tuned, because this may need to be setup for prog-mode-hook as well. Or
neither... we'll see what works.
Sometimes just capturing what I want to buy is as satisfying as actually buying
the item. These org-capture templates really alleviate a lot of the anxiety I
associate with trying to remember many things.
This allows configuration for device specific settings - usually or
perhaps exclusively hardware related. Supporting disabling laptop
touchscreen, increasing laptop cursor speed, reversing the scroll
direction of the laptop mouse.
Until I change my hostname, I'll need to use wpcarro. Internally on
Google networks, this laptop is resolvable via wpcarro.roam.*
Idea: consider defining in ~/.profile:
DESKTOP_NAME=<name>
LAPTOP_NAME=<name>
CLOUDTOP_NAME=<name>
...and then refer to these environment variables throughout my
configuration that depends on them. E.g. -
- configs/install
- configs/uninstall
- .zshrc
- .ssh/config
For now, I'll stick with the path of least resistance.
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.
My Emacs installation would fail on new machines because:
* use-package
* evil
* paredit
use-package is needed to install everything else.
evil and paredit were required in functions.el and other places before they were
called like (use-package evil ...). This should improve things but not fix the
entire issue.
Removing more files that clutter my `gst`
This time I ran...
```bash
git rm -r --cached .
```
...which is supposed to help ignore files that `git` already tracks. This may be
the missing piece I've been looking for.
After yet another unpleasant experience starting up GPG on a new system, I
decided to encode my learnings and mistakes as aliases, functions, scripts,
hoping to protect my future me from myself. Fingers crossed!
I've been sloppily managing my fonts for awhile. At this point in time,
it seems reasonable to carry around ttf, otf, and other font files.
These are 4.0K in size anyhow, which doesn't seem burdensome to me for
the convenience I get in return.
Lists the packages installed by `nix-env`. Moving forward, it might be
useful to run something like...
`$ nix_installed >nix-env.txt`
...and commit that to this repository a la the brew.txt file that
previously floated around this repo. For now, I'm unwilling to commit to
that solution, because I'm hoping a better alternative exists.
Perhaps this should be an alias. Still unsure why I write aliases
sometimes and functions other times. It might be worth documenting as a
principle that I can lean on.
Supports ZSH themes based on which device I'm working. This might get
annoying after awhile, but I think the idea of having the prompt reflect
when I'm on a different machine than my own might be useful.
Adds "cloudtop" alias in ssh config.
