My Mac Configuration

I'm documenting this primarily for personal use. This reposity contains shell configs, vim configs, emacs configs, a list of commonly used applications, and other items.

The overall goal of this repository is to reduce the time it takes to adopt a new computer and equip it with the necessary tooling to do meaningful work.

Neovim

The following snippet fixes the <C-h> issue in neovim on macOS.

$ infocmp $TERM | sed 's/kbs=^[hH]/kbs=\\177/' > $TERM.ti
$ tic $TERM.ti

Italics in tmux and vim

In the file /configs/.tmux.conf there is a line to add italics support to tmux:

set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color-italic"

The $TERM entry, tmux-256color-italic, will be unavailable until you add the file, /configs/tmux-256color-italic, to your terminal database. You can do this with the following command:

$ tic ~/pc_settings/configs/tmux-256color-italic

Ligature Support

To support ligatures make sure Hasklig is installed (link at the bottom). Ensure that you are using an iTerm 2 build that supports ligatures. With both of these tasks completed, ligatures should function in Neovim.
