Install

I recommend cloning this repository into ~/dotfiles so the wallpaper image and the install guide work without any adjustment.

git clone git@github.com:Florian-Merle/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles

Zsh

sudo apt install zsh

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

ln -s ~/dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -s ~/dotfiles/.oh-my-zsh/themes/agnoster-custom.zsh-theme ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/agnoster-custom.zsh-theme

Tools

fzf

Used to search files more efficiently in Neovim and do so fuzzy finding magic 🪄

sudo apt-get install fzf

xsel

Used to forward stuff in the clipboard

sudo apt-get install xsel

bat

Basically cat with syntax sighlighting.

sudo apt install bat

delta

Used to have fancy git diffs.

In order to always have syntax highlight for PHP (even chunks without an opening php tag <?php) the following workaround should be applied.

Also, make sure both bat and delta versions are compatible (mainly because from what I understand, delta reads bat cache, but bat cache structure can evolve). I found that bat v0.19.0 (the version I currently have installed) works with delta v0.12.1.

To sum up, you can download delta from its repository, then build bat cache and finally create a symlink for the ~/.config/bat/syntaxes/PHP.sublime-syntax file.

wget https://github.com/dandavison/delta/releases/download/0.12.1/git-delta_0.12.1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i git-delta_0.12.1_amd64.deb
rm git-delta_0.12.1_amd64.deb

bat cache --build

ln -s ~/dotfiles/bat/syntaxes/PHP.sublime-syntax ~/.config/bat/syntaxes/PHP.sublime-syntax

Phpactor

# phpactor binary
cd ~/.local/share
git clone git@github.com:phpactor/phpactor.git
composer i
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s ~/.local/share/phpactor/bin/phpactor phpactor

# phpactor configuration
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/phpactor ~/.config/phpactor

Lsp logs

tail /home/florian/.local/state/nvim/lsp.log

## Psalm

Just like phpactor, psalm can be used as a lsp.

```sh
composer global require vimeo/psalm:5.0.0-beta1
sudo ln -s ~/.config/composer/vendor/bin/psalm  /usr/local/bin/psalm

Gnome terminal profile

# Create profile
dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/ > gnome-terminal-profiles.dconf

# Install profile
dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/ < gnome-terminal-profiles.dconf

Note that the color theme I use are downloaded with Gogh

Regolith 2 config

Global configuration

ln -s ~/dotfiles/regolith2/Xresources ~/.config/regolith2/Xresources
ln -s ~/dotfiles/regolith2/i3/config.d ~/.config/regolith2/i3/
ln -s ~/dotfiles/regolith2/i3xrocks/conf.d ~/.config/regolith2/i3xrocks/

Catppuccin

Clone https://github.com/catppuccin/regolith

Then

# Install the regolith look
./install.sh
sudo python3 /usr/share/regolith-look/catppuccin/theme-switcher.py latte sky

# Install GTK flavored catppuccin
cd gtk && ./install.sh

Then using Gnome Tweaks, you can set the theme to Catppuccin Latte.

Installation on an X1 carbon

Remap Print Screen with Context menu

On my X1 carbon, I like to remap the print screen key to the context menu. This can be done following this guide.

# /usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/evdev

default xkb_keycodes "evdev" {
    // ...

    // Custom
    alias <MENU> = <PRSC>;
};

Swapping Ctrl with Function

I also like to invert the function and the ctrl keys, this can easily be done in the BIOS.

Swapping Caps Lock with Escape

In order to achieve this, I used a tool called keyd.

Also, it by holding the caps lock key and hjkl, you can use the directionnal keys.

ln -s ~/dotfiles/keyd/default.conf /etc/keyd/default.conf
sudo systemctl enable keyd && sudo systemctl start keyd
sudo keyd reload

Font

The font I use is called CommitMono. I patched it with Nerd Fonts, see the repository Florian-Merle/CommitMono-FontPatcher and its script FontPatcher/commit.sh.

Note, that I do not like ligatures, so the script disables them.

Spotify

Theming

In order to theme Spotify, I used Spicetify. For more info, see the following guide. Use the advanced installation guide in order to setup the correct permissions on Spotify files.

git clone https://github.com/morpheusthewhite/spicetify-themes.git
cd spicetify-themes
cp -r * ~/.config/spicetify/Themes

spicetify config current_theme "Ziro"
spicetify config color_scheme "green-light"
spicetify apply

Notifications

In order to get rid of notifications, see the following guide.

Trackpad

Magic Trackpad

When at home, I like to use an Apple Magic Trackpad, but unlike the laptop Trackpad, I prefer the middle click to be triggered with two finger instead of being aera based.

xinput

In order to achieve this, the following command can be run whenever the trackpad is plugged in. XX being the id of the trackpad (this can be found with xinput list), YYY being the number of the property and Z, Z, Z being the value for the property (this can, be found with xinpuit list-props XX).

xinput set-prop XX YYY Z, Z, Z
xinput set-prop 23 345 0, 1

Running the script automatically

To automatically run the script when the trackpad is connected, I used udev with systemd. Systemd ensure the script is run by the user (not root).

systemd

# install
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
ln -s ~/dotfiles/systemd/user/connect-trackpad.service ~/.config/systemd/user/connect-trackpad.service
systemctl --user enable connect-trackpad.service
systemctl --user daemon-reload

# testing
systemctl --user start connect-trackpad.service

# when changing the service, you can disable it and re-enable it to apply changes
systemctl --user disable connect-trackpad.service
systemctl --user enable connect-trackpad.service

# monitor the service
journalctl --user -fu connect-trackpad

udev

Udev works with rules.

# install
sudo ln -s ~/dotfiles/scripts/90-connect-trackpad.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/90-connect-trackpad.rules

sudo udevadm control --reload
sudo udevadm trigger

To build the rule, use the following command to find the relevent udev event.

udevadm monitor --environment

Then using the DEVPATH, use the following command to find attributes (please note, that the path is prefixed by /sys). --attribute-walk find every attributes from the device and its parents.

udevadm info --attribute-walk --path="/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb3/3-10/3-10:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:256" | less

Finally, to build the rule, I used both the idProduct and idVendor.

Additional notes

In order to use the trackpad via bluetooth, the trackpad, should be disconnect, then turned off and on again and it should be available in the list of bluetooth devices. See https://github.com/mwyborski/Linux-Magic-Trackpad-2-Driver
