- sxhkd (hotkey manager)
- dunst (notifier)
- picom (compositor)
- bash (shell)
Features
Polybar VPN Status/dmenu_vpns
This feature only supports openfortivpn at the moment, because that's all I currently use. More will be added as I use them.
The dmenu_vpns script looks at .config/openfortivpn for config
files and lists them as options. This menu is bound to super + v.
If you select one, it will connect to the VPN in an st terminal
with the class st-vpn and a relevant title. This class is used
in the bspwmrc to send the terminal to the #10 desktop, VPN.
The vpninfo script is used as a custom script by polybar to output
the currently connected VPNs to a polybar module. This is convenient.
These two combined have reduced the necessity of nm-applet for me, so
I no longer have nm-applet installed.
dmenu_configs
The dmenu_configs script will open a menu that lists config files.
This menu is bound to super + e. The selected config file will be
opened in vim in an st terminal that has the class of
st-config-dotfile and a relevant title. The class is used in the
bspwmrc to send the terminal to the #8 desktop, CNF.
These menu items are made manually. You'll have to add the config files you want to add to this menu by editing the script.
dmenu_phpstorm
The dmenu_phpstorm script will traverse through the Sites
directory, which is what I maintain as my PhpStorm project
directory. You can edit the script to fit your needs.
As you traverse the directories, you can open a directory, which will open it in PhpStorm. If you select a file, it will open that file in vim for quick editing.
WARNING: This script was made on a whim and is probably buggy. Will evolve.
dmenu_calcurse
The dmenu_calcurse script will look in ~/.config/calcurse
for individual calcurse configs. For example,
~/.config/calcurse/personal and ~/.config/calcurse/work.
These config folders are then listed in dmenu.
This menu is bound to super + alt + c. If one is selected,
calcurse is launched with that configuration in an st terminal
with the class st-calcurse. This class is used in the bspwmrc
to send the terminal to the #3 desktop, TRM.
cas
The cas script can be used to quickly change audio sources.
I use it to write keybindings that allow me to quickly switch
between bluetooth and analong speakers. For example,
super + alt + 1 changes my audio output to analog speakers,
and super + alt + 2 changes my audio output to bluetooth.
scs
The scs script simply outputs sxhkd hotkeys with their
comments to fzf, allowing for a quick fuzzy search of hotkeys.
It's basically a cheat sheet for sxhkd hotkeys. The main use
is for popping up a helpful, floating terminal window that can
used to search hotkeys and quickly closed by typing enter. This
is bound to super + question (?).
