NOTE: some configs are not yet "stow friendly"
These are my dotfiles for ArchLinux with Openbox. I am using GNU stow to manage symlinks across the system. stow makes it very easy to have a central repository of dotfiles that can be used in many machines and by different users.
TODO: explain how to install with stuff. See the installation steps gist.
LightDM is used to startup a GUI environment. I use to login and to start an Openbox session.
Since I am using LightDM, ~/.xprofile is used instead of the usual ~/.xinitrc to start applications/scripts on session startup.
Besides ~/.xprofile, some applications (mostly GUI) are started by Openbox's ~/.config/openbox/autostart. In reality, ~/.xprofile only invokes ~/.scripts/startup.
| Key Binding | Description |
|---|---|
| ShiftAltC | closes the current window, except when the window is a urxvt terminal, in which case nothing is done. I like this because it prevents me from accidently closing a tmux session with multiple windows/panes. |
| ShiftAltReturn | Open or focus on a currenly existing urxvt terminal. Since I use tmux, I don't need multiple terminal windows |
| AltP | show a dmenu_run prompt to execute applications |
| ShiftWinUp/Down | Maximize/Minimize window |
| Win1..4 | Show desktop number 1..4 |
| ShiftAlt1..4 | Move current window to desktop number 1..4 |
| WinArrow | Go to desktop |
| AltI/M | Grow window up/down |
| AltH/L | Grow window left/right |
| ShiftAltI/M | Shrink window up/down |
| ShiftAltH/L | Shrink window left/right |
| ShiftAltArrow | Move the window |
| CtrlWinL | Lock screen |
| ShiftAltT | Keep current window on top |
TODO: update this since I switched to termite
I use urxvt as my terminal emulator, zsh is my shell and tmux is how I manage multiple shell sessions.
I like to have only one terminal window open (with as much tmux windows inside), and so I have a script to open a new urxvt terminal only if it doesn't already exists, in which case it simply focus on the terminal
I always have issues when dealing with these two together, so here is what I usually need to install and modprobe to make them work:
# pacman -S virtualbox virtualbox-host-modules virtualbox-guest-modules virtualbox-guest-iso virtualbox-guest-utils
# modprobe vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxpci vboxnetadp vboxguest
After this, you should be good to vagrant up. Or not.
