9bc3cbece2 Drop i3 support for spawning apps in horizontal or vertical mode
Prefer using i3's "active edge" to control where apps are spawned.

79ef9e0c63 Drop support for extending Emacs's default word regex
This was causing problems with my Emacs initialization. I don't have time to
troubleshoot, so I'm removing this for now.

7d2bfc8a28 Support alias for Google's Intellij path
Hardlink paths are hard for me to remember.

NOTE: It's now more reliable with the DISPLAY fix

created.

c492c8f4bf Update regexp used with evil-mode's * and # KBDs
I'd bet that there is a better way to achieve this, but I couldn't find
it, and I need this experience to be better.

10aef4e40d Support dmenu integration for Chrome bookmarks
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`.

8220336205 Support sandboxing languages like Elixir, Haskell
The previous commit foreshadows this change. This also introduces so changes for
the Docker tooling.

c88f3da4ac Augment clipmenu KBD to paste-in-place
Introduces the `xdotool` dependency, which is a way to simulate X window events
from the CLI.

7646143843 Support .docker/config file
Useful since helpful aliases and functions around creating sandboxed REPL
environments for languages like, Elixir, Haskell are on the way. Other languages
that might be interesting to support would be Clojure.

cc3aecb1e3 Support Java alias for jshell
The `jshell` alias currently imports libs like guava and jOOL into the `jshell`,
which is nice for experimenting.

Experimenting with keeping some helpful `.jars` in `~/programming/jars`. This
may be a bad idea, and there may exist a more idiomatic way to do this instead
of wrapping `jshell` in an alias, but for now, I need to move on.

Also documents some abbreviations for applications. `jv` will be necessary so
that I don't conflict with `j` or `js` for javascript. Eventually I'll need to
be more organized to avoid naming collisions, but this is okay for now.

54c13a8848 Update Cider KBD to use google-chrome
This allows me to take advantage of the --app=<URL> flag that google-chrome
supports, which is nice for a version of cider that bleeds all the way to the
window's edges. It makes Cider feel more like a native application experience.

653ffd381a Support $mod+Return for starting up a terminal
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...

d69d6421b2 Support KBD to unfocus parent container
Been missing this for awhile. Useful since I'm using $mod+a more often.

97c156be88 Support SpeWall in bash variables
NOTE: consider migrating from GH private repo to Google's Git on Borg. This is
preferable since GH gets hacked and private repos can be exposed. While a path
to a Google 3 repo like SpeWall may not pose a large security risk, it certainly
isn't optimal. Imagine a path to a repository whose name leaked a secret
project. Two options:

1. embrace encryption options like Mozilla's `sops` and remain on GH private
2. switch wholesale from private GH to GoB
3. classify "sensitve" parts of dotfiles as such and move those to GoB and keep
   everything else on private GH

One added perk of switching to GoB is saving the $7 monthly fee to support
private GH repos.

79387acb96 Create generic loop fn

loop 'PAGER="" hgst' 1 y
```

loop 'du -hs .'

370f0346de Augment browse function
The nohup.out file was creating a bunch of noise and polluting my FS. It may
have been the correct thing to add, but if it was, I'm unsure why. Removing it
for now since it's been bothering me quite a bit.

ac34df2372 Add daily Google ENG tips to prodaccess
Wraps the existing `prodaccess` executable and displays a quote from Google
ENG's fortune db.

Fortune is a GNU tool intended to support random quote compilation, display,
etc. It's pretty interesting.

NOTE: the `prodcertstatus` executable that this function is using as a guard
looks like it might be useful moving forward.

f4e3e98594 Support gca
We already have `gcan`... looks like `gca` was already defined by some ZSH git
extension. This further weakens my dependency on that extension, which I think
is a good things.

161a09e6df Adjust i3 colors, update KBDs, remove icons from i3statusbar
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.

e1d42452b5 Resupport mod+Shift+{3,4} KBDs in i3
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...

06bf69085e Ensure GPG import.sh script is executable
I must not have tested this before adding it to the repository; otherwise, I
would have found this. Oh well... it worked like a charm when copying the GPG
information from my desktop to my laptop.

0eaf4602d8 Support brightness adjustments on laptop
I used `light` on my MBP running NixOS. I got `xbacklight` working on my Dell
Precision running gLinux. It wasn't easy, and I still don't fully understand the
integration story. Thankfully I'm not alone and the documentation from the Arch
Linux came to rescue (per usual).

7b46b6bfe1 Adds emoji font and function to test emoji support
In my quest to learn more about terminals, I added a function to output ten
emojis. Technically this tests the same thing as test_unicode.

Unfortunately I couldn't get `st` to output any colored emojis. This is a bit of
a buzzkill for my grand plans to create a terminal-based chat client that
supports emojis.

Defines functions for creating, deleting, renaming files.
Defines functions for encrypting/decrypting files.
Defines functions for archiving/unarchiving files.
Adds TODOs for wishlist items.
Adds `help` function to view `lf` documentation.

TODO: write generic explanation of desire to share KBDs between Emacs, Vim,
other programs that I can link to in documentation to avoid repeating myself.

f5ace0b0a9 Prefer $(pwd) to $PWD
I'm unsure if this is idiomatic POSIX shell scripting or not, but I generally
prefer function calls to variables. Thankfully things like Haskell don't
differentiate between the two. In other cold and hostile environments like shell
scripting, us programmers must take care to prefer functions to variables where
it makes sense.

7167764622 Support aptitude removals
If you're going to install things and support that with an aliases, might as
well support the removals of packages with an aliases. Better to keep systems
lean -- especially if entropy is the tendancy.

7bcfa26f51 Support shared, device-specific i3 configurations
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.

12ba60eb13 Prefer TwoDark theme for bat
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.

cf39cf760a Prefer Emacs client-server setup
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...

b1275671a8 Return (server-start) to Emacs initialization
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

0039022c6e Disable company-mode when editing markdown
`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.
