[[http://spacemacs.org][file:https://cdn.rawgit.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/442d025779da2f62fc86c2082703697714db6514/assets/spacemacs-badge.svg]]
This is my collection of dotfiles for my daily GNU/Linux environment, tweaked
to my liking. If you wish to get the same setup as mine, follow the
instructions below.
As you can see, I personally use [[https://fishshell.com/][fish]] as my shell of choice, and [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] 27.0.90
(custom build) using [[http://spacemacs.org][Spacemacs]] (still with Emacs keybinding in Insert mode but
with Evil in Normal mode) as my main text editor.
When it comes to my graphical UI, I do not have any desktop environment.
Instead, I have two tiling window managers. The historical first on my
configuration is [[https://github.com/Airblader/i3][i3-gaps]], an [[https://i3wm.org/][i3]] fork by [[https://github.com/Airblader/i3][Airblader]] with which I use two bars
generated by [[https://polybar.github.io/][Polybar]]. My other TWM, and the one I use most often, is
[[https://awesomewm.org/][AwesomeWM]]. Both TWMs use [[https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal][pywal]] to define their color scheme, as well as [[https://github.com/davatorium/rofi][rofi]]’s
color scheme.
Finally, you can find my configuration for my Ergodox keyboard [[https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/ergodox-ez/layouts/5WrVw/latest/0][here]]. It is
optimized for usage with the Bépo layout set as a software layout, and for
shortcuts from i3.

- Emacs configuration perfectly tailored for my own use
- Beautiful and comfy i3 and polybar configuration
- And enough information below to get basically the same distro install as I
have on my main computer and my travel laptop.
Most of the org files you will find in this repos are the actual source code
of much of my config files. For instance, the bootstrap found in
[[file:installation.org][installation.org]] exports almost all of its code snippets to
[[file:.config/yadm/bootstrap][.config/yadm/bootstrap]] thanks to =M-x org-babel-tangle= from within Emacs.
Below I will also present and comment some of my short config files which do
not deserve to have a full org file dedicated to them.
** Tiling Window Managers
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-b70d9b3b-4259-4311-aa23-4792656220bb
:END:
*** AwesomeWM
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-dbfc71a0-9d96-4f53-a064-f8d6f9567813
:END:
AwesomeWM is the TWM I use the most on my computer between itself and i3. My
configuration for it is documented in detail in its corresponding document,
which you can find [[file:awesome.org][here]].
*** i3 configuration
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-c918e370-d867-412c-8b0e-078e4e3772e0
:END:
The i3 configuration is detailed in its corresponding README which you can
find [[file:i3.org][here]].
** Graphical tweaks
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-08018a9b-f0c8-4bff-b18d-834ec0dc11a8
:END:
*** GTK Settings
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-1e9b2c5f-9ce4-4706-af5b-fb3b423cdb82
:END:
**** GTK2
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-6b46d7ef-3015-46e6-b9f4-58be449ff9b6
:HEADER-ARGS: :tangle ~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini
:END:
Regarding GTK2, I have only one configuration file: the filechooser’s
configuration file.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
[Filechooser Settings]
#+END_SRC
The first option alows me to open the file chooser in the current working
directory:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
StartupMode=cwd
#+END_SRC
Next, setting the location mode to ~path-bar~ will show the path as buttons
that can be clicked rather than the full path.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
LocationMode=path-bar
#+END_SRC
With this configuration, by default we won’t see hidden files.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
ShowHidden=true
#+END_SRC
And we'll also see the size of the visible files.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
ShowSizeColumn=true
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s choose the geometry of our file picker. These two first lines
set where the file picker appears:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
GeometryX=566
GeometryY=202
#+END_SRC
And these two describe the size of the window:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
GeometryWidth=800
GeometryHeight=400
#+END_SRC
With these two lines, we set how our files are sorted: by name, and in the
ascending order.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
SortColumn=name
SortOrder=ascending
#+END_SRC
Our default view mode is a list of files:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
ViewMode=list-view
#+END_SRC
And finally, setting our icon view scale to ~-1~ sets the icon view to the
max size.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
IconViewScale=-1
#+END_SRC
**** GTK3
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-0de8173e-2c28-4ac2-811e-e6c1a437ef51
:HEADER-ARGS: :tangle ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
:END:
The following file helps me choosing the aspect of various GTK+ 3 software,
including their theme and icons. First, let’s declare the header:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
[Settings]
#+END_SRC
Now, let’s hint to GTK that I prefer dark themes. This can have an
influence also on some websites that can detect this preference and
therefore set their own theme to dark by themselves.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
#+END_SRC
Next, the icon theme is the Flat Remix Dark icon theme:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
gtk-icon-theme-name = Flat-Remix-Dark
#+END_SRC
Now, the general theme for GTK3 is Arc Dark.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
gtk-theme-name = Arc-Dark
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
gtk-can-change-accels = 1
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintslight
# gtk-xft-rgba=rgb
#+END_SRC
Since window decorations are handled by my WMs, I will leave this variable
empty.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf-unix
gtk-decoration-layout=
#+END_SRC
*** Picom
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-c539fde3-3f1a-4855-8d63-28729ed806a5
:END:
Picom is a standalone compositor for Xorg, and the successor to Compton,
itself successor to xcompmgr-dana, itself a fork of xcompmgr. You can find
my Picom configuration [[file:picom.org][here]].
*** Xresources
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-e6f48975-3b86-4a75-a7e5-5cc9edbd9869
:HEADER-ARGS: :tangle ~/.Xresources :exports code
:END:
My Xresources file is very short. Indeed, it only contains two lines which
are dedicated to my =st= terminal to set its font and shell. The font is set
as follows.
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
st.font: Source Code Pro for Powerline:style=book
#+END_SRC
And I will set my shell like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
st.shell: /usr/bin/fish
#+END_SRC
I can also set the transparency of st (my terminal emulator) like so:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
st.alpha: 0.9
#+END_SRC
I used to have lines dedicated to UXTerm and URxvt, but I cast them out of
my system.
** Text and source code editing
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-2730f882-e775-41a3-b169-5049c142cc54
:END:
*** Emacs configuration
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-f6d2561f-5c02-4540-8287-4acf3037b3d5
:END:
Emacs is my main text editor, which I use for almost everything. Because,
you know…
#+begin_quote
Emacs is a great operating system, it just lacks a good text editor.
#+end_quote
You can find my Emacs config, based on Spacemacs, in my [[https://labs.phundrak.com/phundrak/dotfiles/src/branch/master/.spacemacs][.spacemacs]] file, and
my user configuration in my [[file:spacemacs.org][spacemacs.org]] file.
*** Nano
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-1724166b-55b7-4a64-9ff1-47c2a9e76f46
:END:
Although it is a very simple piece of software, nano does offer some
customization. Mine can be found in my [[file:~/org/config-website/nano.org][nano.org]] file.
*** Rustfmt
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-0ae9005c-76a6-49f6-947c-0c8464616e10
:END:
You can find my Rustfmt configuration [[file:rustfmt.org][here]].
** Custom scripts in =PATH=
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-d582e107-fa66-4f79-869e-2b49116ed1ec
:END:
I have written some scripts that help me daily accomplish some simple tasks,
like mounting and unmounting a drive or Android device, an emoji picker, a
utility to set up my Wacom tablet, and so on. You can find them stored in
[[file:.local/bin/README.org][.local/bin]] along with their detailed explanation in the README placed in the
same folder —which is actually their source code once the org-mode file gets
tangled.
** Fish configuration with useful abbreviations
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-f35ed9a3-c9fc-458c-8a62-693f679f6992
:END:
You can also find in my Fish shell configuration in my [[file:~/org/config-website/fish.org][fish.org]] file, which
contains my usual abbreviations.
** And some minor configuration files
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-1a819f94-ab79-41e6-9509-a2781ab10b79
:END:
*** Email signature
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-f6c48286-a320-493f-b330-ee0a697e6d79
:HEADER-ARGS: :tangle ~/.signature
:END:
This file gets inserted automatically at the end of my emails.
#+BEGIN_SRC text

#+END_SRC
*** Global gitignore
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-4f92eb29-7cfa-48ec-b39d-39037ace3682
:HEADER-ARGS: :tangle ~/.gitignore_global
:END:
Sometimes, there are some lines that always reappear in gitignores. So,
instead of always adding them, let git now that some elements are to be
ignored by default, hence the [[file:.gitignore_global][~/.gitignore_global]] file. First, we don’t want
nano’s backup files.
#+BEGIN_SRC text
~*
#+END_SRC
And object files and output binaries generated by =gcc= and the likes aren’t
welcome either.
#+BEGIN_SRC text
,*.out
,*.o
#+END_SRC
** Tmux configuration
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-4f48b912-b67b-4549-a671-802e76221f46
:END:
You can find my tmux configuration in [[file:tmux.org][tmux.org]]. It depends on the submodule
[[https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git][.tmux]] by [[https://pempek.net/][Gregory Pakosz]].
* Dependencies
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: h-5849dbcf-a650-4323-9a90-bec549a7b982
