My Archlinux dots file
All custom system configurations should be explained here to ease the process of reinstalling the whole OS for my future me.
Some things are specific to this specific hardware, like nvidia conf or sensors kernel module.
Alacritty: improve padding + overall conf (theme)
Qtile: improve dmenu and status bar style, add focused border on full screen window
Add dots files that are not in .config
Why Qtile ?
Cuz Python comfy
Why Alacritty ?
Out of all the terminals I tried it's the only one with the least delay for redrawing screen after moving window, which is essential when you don't have any animations in your WM and it's tiling.
To load all video memory in ram when suspending so that we don't have to refresh windows after sleep to not have a black screen :
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-power-management.conf
------------------------------------------------------------------
options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp
options nvidia-drm modeset=1
Then regenerate initramfs (maybe optional) mkinitcpio -P
Then systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service && systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate.service.
And finally a reboot is probably a good idea.
nct6687 install DKMS version of this module.
git clone https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d && cd nct6687d && make dkms/install
Remember to remove the folder after this.
/etc/modprobe.d/sensors.conf
-------------------------
blacklist nct6683
/etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf
-----------------------
options kvm_intel nested=1
/etc/modules-load.d/module.load :
i2c_dev
nct6687 #for the fan control again
btusb #to get usb
Folder is in the path, so all of them can be called as is.
record screenNumber fps
Record screen at desired framerate, default to 25fps if no fps is specified. Output file is ~/Vidéos/screen.mp4
Screen number is 1 or 2.
Screen capture the selection.
Gets saved in ~/Images/screen.png
Copy to system clipboard the image.
Takes a number ranging from 0 to 100 to set hardware luminosity through ddcutil and redshift.
If the number is 0 then a low-blue light filter will be applied, if it's 100 it will be removed.
Used through the shortcut ctrl+t in zsh.
Opens up a fuzzyfinder menu to select a folder that will open OR attach a tmux session in that folder.
Slightly modified version of ThePrimeagen script: https://github.com/ThePrimeagen/.dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/scripts/tmux-sessionizer
Shortcuts:
- leader + k : delete current session without prompt
- leader + n or o : go to next or previous session
- leader + s : list all sessions menu
Reload config from terminal if broken: qtile cmd-obj -o cmd -f reload_config
Shortcuts:
- mod + v or r : demenu_run
- mod + neoi : change windows focus colemak-vim style
- mod + ctrl + neoi : change windows size
- mod + shift + neoi: change windows position
- mod + alt + n or o : swap focused column to left or right
- mod + m : change screen focus
- mod + luy, : change virtual desktop of focused screen
- mod + shift + luy, : send focused windows to selected desktop
- mod + return : open new terminal window
- mod + w : kill window
Shorcuts:
- ctrl + shift + space : enter alacritty vi-mode, allows previous stdout selection vi-style
- ctrl + - or = : change zoom
In vi mode, we need to select with v before yanking, and we need to paste with system wide paste.
oh my zsh + p10k ctr + t open tmux-sessionizer ll=ls -l t=tmux a vim=nvim crkb="cd /home/xenio/Documents/qmk_firmware/keyboards/crkbd/keymaps/BouleJaune" conf="cd /home/xenio/.config/"
Shortcuts :
- ctrl + t : open a sorta fzf menu to go to channels
- esc : scroll to end of conv
rofi + git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi.git Et suivre l'installation
