My dotfiles for vim, tmux and i3

Zsh Setup

Nothing fancy here. Just used the defaults from Oh My Zsh

Vim Setup

Vim-plug for plugin management.

Copy the .vimrc and .vim folder to your $HOME directory

Run PlugInstall to install all the plugins

The plugins are located under a seperate file named plug.vim inside the .vim directory

tmux setup

tmux setup is preety straightforward. I have used a starter pack from Oh My Tmux. Follow the installation directions and just replace the .tmux.conf.local file in the $HOME directory.

The necessary fonts are located on .fonts folder. Copy the fonts to ~/.fonts If the installed fonts doesn't show up on the preferences of your terminal. You will have to install Gnome Tweaks and setup the system wise fonts. The font I have used is Fura Code Mono Medium

Final Screenshot

Troubleshoot

You should also install xbacklight and pulseaudio for your volume keys and brightness control keys to work.

#For volume controls
bindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec --no-startup-id pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 +5% #increas    e sound volume
bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec --no-startup-id pactl -- set-sink-volume 0 -5% #decreas    e sound volume
bindsym XF86AudioMute exec --no-startup-id pactl set-sink-mute 0 toggle # mute sound
   
#Sreen brightness controls
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec xbacklight -inc 5
bindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec xbacklight -dec 5

If your xbacklight does not work by default and using intel graphics Add these to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, if it does not exist by default create one. For further troubleshooting check this thread:
