Programs

Below is the list of programs that this repo has configurations for. Each program contains a list of custom documented keybindings.

bspwm

The default window manager. This config should work on single or multi monitor setups. Each monitor gets 9 independant workspaces.

Keybinds

See BSPWM Movement.

lf

lf is a terminal file manager. The left column is the parent directory, the middle column is the current directory, and the right column is the contents of the selected file, or child directory.

Note: Icons are defined in .zprofile. if they don't work for you, simply comment out set icons in ~/.config/lf/lfrc

Keybinds

Nvim Telescope

LSP

Built-in Language Servers

Nvim LSP

Neovim is a community rewrite of vim. The config file .config/nvim/init.lua is well documented if you want to see what features are included.

This is arguably the most interesting part of this configuration. If you want to use my vim config without having to install the rest of the system, you can simply copy the files inside of the .config/nvim/ directory to your local neovim config directory.

If you don't know how to find your local neovim config directory, you can open neovim and use the following command

:echo stdpath('config')

Note: The config should mostly work out of the box, except for Telescope which may require ripgrep to be installed. See Searching for more info.

Additions/Keybinds

All keybinds are accessible through WhichKey by pressing <Space><Space>. Below are some important ones.

  • (space) The leader key.

Tabs

Tabs are styled using bufferline.

  • <ctrl> + l move to next tab. Same as gt
  • <ctrl> + h move to previous tab. Same as gT

Windows

Window keybinds are handled through use of the arrow keys.

  • up/down/left/right Move to different window.
  • ctrl + up/down/left/right Resize current window.

Searching

Custom search is handled through Telescope.

Note that telescope might require ripgrep to be installed. You can run :checkhealth Telescope to see if you need it.

  • <leader> + ff Find files: Fuzzy find file names in the current directory.

  • <leader> + fg Live Grep (requires ripgrep): Fuzzy find text content of any file in the current working directory.

  • <leader> + fb Find Buffers: Fuzzy find currently opened buffers.

  • <leader> + fh Find Help

File Tree

The file tree is NvimTree.

  • <leader> + t Toggle NvimTree
  • <leader> + T Focus NvimTree

Commenting

When visually selecting lines, the following commenting keybinds are available.

  • gcc Toggle line commenting on current selection
  • gb Toggle block commenting on current selection

Commenting is also context aware thanks to TreeSitter, and will work in JSX files.

LSP

This is what gives neovim the amazing autocompletion settings.

  • gD Goto declaration of token
  • gd Get definition of token
  • gI Get info
  • gS Get Signature
  • gi Get implementation
  • <leader> + rn Rename token
  • gr Get references
  • <leader> + ca Get code actions
  • <leader> + f Get info about errors
  • [d Goto previous error
  • ]d Goto next error
  • <leader> + q Set loc list

Git

Git signs are handled by gitsigns.

TODO: Assign mappings

MarkDown Preview

Neovim can automatically display markdown documents and live changes. To do this, use the following command

:MarkdownPreview
  • <leader> + m + p Enables MarkdownPreview in the default browser.

VimTeX

VimTeX handles the compilation of LaTeX documents through neovim.

  • \ll toggles compilation of current document
    • Opens in default pdf viewer
  • \le close the quickfix window
  • \lt display a table of contents
  • \lk stops compilation
  • \lc clears auxiliary files

For more commands available through VimteX, see Motion Commands.

Themes

These can be changed in ~/.config/nvim/lua/al/ui/theme.nvim by changing the variable

local colorscheme = "gruvbox"

Other included colorschemes are

  • gruvbox (default)
  • melange
  • oceanic-next
  • blue-moon
  • everforest
  • darkplus

polybar

Changing the polybar depends on your system. At startup in ~/.xprofile, a script named polybar-start (located at ~/.local/bin/polybar/polybar-start) is ran. In previous versions, this script would launch the polybar defined by $POLYBAR on every visible display.

However to allow users to load different polybars on different screens, this script is now symlinked by the user. It is recommended to define your polybar-start scripts next to your polybars in ~/.config/polybar/. By default, the polybar-start is linked to the single.sh script which has the same functionality as before.

Linking a Custom Start Script

Back up the existing start script using

mv "$HOME/.local/bin/polybar/polybar-start" "$HOME/.local/bin/polybar/polybar-start.bak"

You can link a new script with the following command

ln -s "$HOME/.local/bin/polybar/polybar-start" "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/polybar/<PATH>"

Where <PATH> is replaced by the relative path of your custom start script.

Modules

  • wifi/ethernet (network module)
  • volume
  • cpu
  • memory
  • date
  • bspwm

sxhkd

The simple x hotkey daemon. This is the program that handles all keyboard shortcuts on the system. Note that it also handles all keyboard shortcuts for bspwm, since it does not come with any shortcuts by default

You can change all of these shortcuts at ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc

Keybinds

Note: the keybinds for bspwm are handled through sxhkd. Note: super is the windows key.

Programs

  • super + q close the focused window
  • super + shift + q force close the focused window
  • super + d run any script or program through dmenu
    • This is how you open programs that don't have direct keybinds
  • super + enter opens a terminal
  • super + r opens the file manager (lf)
  • super + w opens the default web browser (firefox)
  • super + p opens pulsemixer
    • This is how you change your audio settings
  • super + t opens the torrent manager (tremc)
    • Only works when the VPN is on.

BSPWM Movement

  • super + h/j/k/l to change the focused window
  • super + shift + h/j/k/l to switch the position of the focused window
  • super + 1-9 switch between workspaces
  • super + shift + 1-9 moves the focused window to that workspace

BSPWM Window State

BSPWM offers different types of windows, here is how to switch between them.

  • super + alt + t Tiled (default)
  • super + alt + f Fullscreen
  • super + alt + s Floating
  • super + shift + alt + t Pseudo-Tiled

Other

  • super + + Volume + 5

  • super + shift + + Volume + 15

  • super + - Volume - 5

  • super + shift + - Volume - 15

  • super + alt + + Screen brightness + 10%

  • super + alt + - Screen brightness - 10%

  • super + PrintScreen Take a screenshot

  • super + BackTick Open emoji menu

  • super + shift + esc Reload sxhkd

  • super + backspace Shutdown Computer

  • super + alt + backspace Reboot Computer

sxiv

The simple x image viewer.

Keybinds

  • n next image (if any in current dir)
  • p previous image (if any in current dir)
Custom Additions

The prefix to use these commands is ctrl + x

  • w change the selected image to be your wallpaper
  • c copy the file to a given directory
  • m move the file to a given directory
  • r rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise and save
  • R rotate the image 90 degrees counterclockwise and save
  • f flips image across the y axis
  • y copies file name to clipboard
  • Y copies full path to clipboard
  • d delete the file
  • g open the file in Gimp
    • note that Gimp is not installed by default so you will need to install it to be able to use this

zsh

The zoomer shell of course. Comes with syntax highlighting and a nice prompt. Prompt powerlevel10k, Plugins

Keybinds

  • esc or caps lock Go into vi mode

Installation

It is highly recommended you only install these dotfiles on a clean arch-based system using llGaetanll/autorice since the script performs some automatic post installation cleanups not covered by this repo.

I have successfully installed these dotfiles on both Arch and Artix.

Post-Installation

Changing the Wallpaper

  • With lf
    1. Navigate to the picture of your choice
    2. Press b
  • With sxiv
    1. Go to the picture of your choice
    2. Press ctrl + x followed by w

This triggers the setbg script which changes the file at ~/.local/share/bg.

Changing the Polybar

All system-dependent environment variables are placed in ~/.config/xinitrc. Change the $POLYBAR variable to the path of the bar you want to use.

Different polybars are available in ~/.config/polybar.

Note that you may need to install any required fonts by the polybar. Such fonts are listed in the bar's ini file and can be downloaded directly from the AUR.

Finally to apply the changes simply restart bspwm using the following command

killall bspwm

Bringing back Caps Lock

In this system, I remapped caps lock to escape. This is to help me work in vim more easily but I can understand how this may turn off some people. To bring back caps lock simply comment out or delete the following line in .xprofile.

# remap caps lock to escape. I absolutely need this to survive in vim
setxkbmap -option caps:escape

Reverse Scrolling Direction

If you're installing this on a laptop, there's a chance you might want to reverse the scrolling direction like me. This blog post describes how to do this very well.

In my case, swapping 4 and 5 reversed vertical scrolling, and switching 6 and 7 reversed horizontal scrolling.

If like me you got multiple slave pointer devices, simply try switching these numbers around on each of them, and undo your changes if you don't notice a difference in scrolling direction.

Changing the DPI

The system DPI can be controlled in 3 different places across the system.

  • In ~/.config/Xresources for web browser and other system apps
  • In ~/.config/polybar/modules.ini for polybar scaling
  • In config.h, in st's configuration files for the terminal

Getting WiFi

Network Manager is installed so you have access to nmtui. It's not the best terminal user interface, but for easily connecting to wifi quickly, it does the trick.

Monitor Backlight doesn't Change

If your keyboard backlight doesn't change when you perform the system shortcut, it might be because of file permissions.

For more information, check the script in .local/bin/system/setbacklight.

TODO

  • Add docs and list of shortcuts
  • Add more pictures (never enough)
  • Remap Caps Lock to Esc at a udev level
    • programs outside of xorg won't respond to it. vscode and minecraft have already stopped
  • Look for pywal alternatives.

nvim

  • Git diff support?
  • More autocomplete
    • Latex/Markdown keybinds for italicizing, bolding, underlining...
      • Not sure if this is possible?

lf

  • Make window spawn in tiling mode.

polybar

  • Add Mullvad VPN module
    • should prompt user for server through dmenu.
    • server list should be updatable from mullvad.net

bspwm

  • Add keybind to switch highlighted window to the current workspace of a monitor
  • Add keybind to fullscreen window across all monitors
  • Hide all other windows behind a currently fullscreen window
    • Fullscreen transparent windows will show other windows behind it which doesn't look nice
