** What is StumpWM?
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Introduction-What-is-StumpWM-oyycyb91u5j0
:END:
[[https://stumpwm.github.io/][StumpWM]] is a tiling window manager inheriting from [[http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/][RatPoison]], written
entirely in [[https://common-lisp.net/][Common Lisp]] and compiled with [[http://www.sbcl.org/][SBCL]]. While it is not an
dynamic tiling window manager like [[file:awesome.org][Awesome]] is, its ability of managing
windows in frames and using keychords with keymaps like Emacs does is
a huge plus for me, not to mention the fact its configuration file is
written in Common Lisp, a general programming language, a bit like
Awesome. This makes it an [[file:Deprecated/i3.org][i3]] on steroids, sort of. It also uses a lot
of Emacs’ concepts, which is great for an Emacs user such as myself.

** Why not EXWM then?
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Introduction-Why-not-EXWM-then-670dyb91u5j0
:END:
Sometimes, some actions within Emacs are blocking actions, making the
computer not usable while the command runs. It also does not play nice
with video games (pun intended), which is also a negative point for
me. And I also find EXWM more confusing overall than StumpWM.

** What this file is for
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Introduction-What-this-file-is-for-pnyg92a1u5j0
:END:
This file has two main goals:
- This will be the actual source code of my StumpWM
  configuration, thanks to Emacs’ org-mode, and thanks to org-mode’s
  literate config capabilities.

  Almost all of the visible source blocks if not all will be included
  in my configuration files through tangling, which can be done in
  Emacs when this file is opened through ~M-x org-babel-tangle~, which
  will write my configuration files based on the source blocks present
  in this document. This file is not only my config’s documentation,
  it /*is*/ my configuration.
- Be my documentation on my StumpWM configuration. That way, I’ll
  never forget which block of code does what.

  And maybe, hopefully, someone could learn a thing or two if they
  want to get into StumpWM but don’t know where to begin. You should
  be able to read this document as a book, with each chapter dedicated
  to a different aspect of StumpWM.a

** Organization of my files
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Introduction-Organization-of-my-files-40vjne91u5j0
:END:
While I could make this file write everything to the same file (the
actual source will be in a single file after all), I find it easier to
debug StumpWM if everything’s split up. For now, my configuration
follows this architecture:
- ~init.el~ :: My main configuration file, glues everything together. It
  loads all of my configuration files as well as some modules I find
  useful;

- ~colors.lisp~ :: In this file are defined colors that will be used in
  common in my ~theme.lisp~ and ~modeline.lisp~ files. Let’s make my code
  DRY, or as I prefer to say, DRYD (/Don’t Repeat Yourself Dummy/).
- ~commands.lisp~ :: Lisp commands, in case I want to bind some
  complicated actions to a keybind that is not just a simple shell
  command;
- ~keybindings.lisp~ :: My list of keymaps and keybinds which make
  StumpWM actually usable;
- ~modeline.lisp~ :: This defines the modeline, a concept taken from
  Emacs which can display various information such as a list of
  workspaces, including the current one;
- ~placement.lisp~ :: This file manages my workspaces and the default
  placement of various windows;
- ~theme.lisp~ :: manages the color theme of StumpWM, the default
  placement of some windows and StumpWM’s gaps.

* Init file
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Init-file-l3q4snd1u5j0
:header-args:lisp: :mkdirp :tangle ~/.stumpwm.d/init.lisp
:END:
As mentioned in [[https://stumpwm.github.io/git/stumpwm-git_1.html#Init-File][the documentation]], the configuration files can be in
different locations, but I chose an Emacs-like configuration: put
everything in ~~/.stumpwm.d/~. We begin by indicating quicklisp how to
properly initialize:
#+begin_src lisp
  #-quicklisp
  (let ((quicklisp-init (merge-pathnames "quicklisp/setup.lisp"
                                         (user-homedir-pathname))))
    (when (probe-file quicklisp-init)
      (load quicklisp-init)))
#+end_src

Then, our first StumpWM-related code is declaring we are using the
~stumpwm~ package, and this is also our default package. This will allow
us to avoid using the prefix ~stumpwm:~ each time we are using a
function or a variable from this package.
#+begin_src lisp
  (in-package :stumpwm)
  (setf *default-package* :stumpwm)
#+end_src


Since I install StumpWM with my package manager (I use the AUR’s
~stumpwm-git~ package), StumpWM’s modules are installed to
~/usr/share/stupmwm/contrib/utils/~, let’s indicate that to StumpWM.
#+begin_src lisp
  ;; (set-module-dir "/usr/share/stupmwm/contrib/utils/")
  (set-module-dir "/usr/share/stupmwm/contrib/")
  ;; (dolist (path '("/usr/share/stumpwm/contrib/utils/"
  ;;                 "/usr/share/stumpwm/contrib/minor-mode"
  ;;                 "/usr/share/stumpwm/contrib/modeline"))
  ;;   (add-to-load-path path))
#+end_src

A startup message can be used when initializing StumpWM. For now,
let’s set it to ~nil~.
#+begin_src lisp
(setf *startup-message* nil)
#+end_src

The first thing I want to do after that is to set some decent cursor
pointer as well as get a bunch of stuff started. To see what’s in the
~autostart~ script, [[file:bin.org::#Autostart-a99e99e7][see here]].
#+begin_src lisp
  (run-shell-command "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr")
  (run-shell-command "autostart")
#+end_src

Now, we’ll load a couple of my custom files that will be described below:
#+name: first-loaded-files
| File to be loaded |
|-------------------|
| commands.lisp     |
| placement.lisp    |
| keybindings.lisp  |
| theme.lisp        |
| modeline.lisp     |

#+name: gen-load-files
#+headers: :tangle no :exports results :wrap src lisp :cache yes
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var files=first-loaded-files
  (mapconcat (lambda (file)
               (format "(load \"~/.stumpwm.d/%s\")" (car file)))
             files
             "\n")
#+end_src

This is equivalent to the Common Lisp code:
#+RESULTS[942558619eb0d0a3d694a7808d0b600f0bc4c14c]: gen-load-files
#+begin_src lisp

(load "~/.stumpwm.d/placement.lisp")
(load "~/.stumpwm.d/keybindings.lisp")
(load "~/.stumpwm.d/theme.lisp")
(load "~/.stumpwm.d/modeline.lisp")
#+end_src

Once the modeline file is loaded, let’s indicate StumpWM to activate
it:
#+begin_src lisp
  (when *initializing*
    (mode-line))
#+end_src

Another thing I want to set is how focus is linked to my mouse: only
on click. I /HATE/ it when focus follows my mouse like some damn dog
after its ball. Also, the meta key will be used to move floating
windows.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *mouse-focus-policy*    :click
        ,*float-window-modifier* :META)
#+end_src

Next, some modules will be loaded from the ~stumpwm-contrib~ package
(which is included in ~stumpwm-git~). Here is a short list including a
short description of what they are for:
#+name: loaded-modules
| Module Name      | Why It Is Loaded                                           |
|------------------+------------------------------------------------------------|
| alert-me         | Creates notifications, can also create timed notifications |
| battery-portable | Get information on the battery level of a laptop           |
| beckon           | Bring the mouse cursor to the current window               |
| cpu              | Get the CPU usage of the computer                          |
| end-session      | Gracefully end programs when ending user session           |
| globalwindows    | Navigate between windows from all workspaces               |
| mem              | Get the memory usage of the computer                       |
| stump-backlight  | Native management of backlight in StumpWM                  |
| urgentwindows    | Get urgent windows                                         |

#+name: gen-load-modules
#+headers: :tangle no :exports results :wrap src lisp :cache yes
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var modules=loaded-modules
  (mapconcat (lambda (module)
               (format "(load-module \"%s\")" (car module)))
             modules
             "\n")
#+end_src

#+RESULTS[1978f17a99db4ca68780c378e5e5d9d58f9e08bc]: gen-load-modules
#+begin_src lisp
(load-module "alert-me")
(load-module "battery-portable")
(load-module "beckon")
(load-module "cpu")
(load-module "end-session")
(load-module "globalwindows")
(load-module "mem")
(load-module "stump-backlight")
(load-module "urgentwindows")
#+end_src

Finally, we can notify the user everything is ready.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *startup-message* "StumpWM is ready!")
#+end_src

And it’s done! We can now move on to the creation of the other CLisp files.

* Commands
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Commands-1wagy001v5j0
:header-args:lisp: :mkdirp :tangle ~/.stumpwm.d/commands.lisp
:END:
This file is going to be short. The only two custom command I have is
for Firefox, in order to either invoke a new Firefox window, or raise
it if it already exists, and for Emacs to invoke the Emacs client or a
new Emacs instance if the server isn’t running. This is done like so:
#+begin_src lisp
  (defcommand firefox () ()
              "Run or raise Firefox."
              (run-or-raise "firefox" '(:class "Firefox") t nil))
#+end_src

And done, next!

* Colors
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Colors-w5493d01v5j0
:header-args:lisp: :mkdirp :tangle ~/.stumpwm.d/colors.lisp
:END:
If you’ve taken a look at the rest of my dotfiles, you may have
noticed I really like the [[https://www.nordtheme.com/][Nord theme]]. No wonder we can find it here
again! Here is a small table listing the Nord colors:
#+name: nord-colors
| Name   | Value   |
|--------+---------|
| nord0  | #2e3440 |
| nord1  | #3b4252 |
| nord2  | #434c5e |
| nord3  | #4c566a |
| nord4  | #d8dee9 |
| nord5  | #e5e9f0 |
| nord6  | #eceff4 |
| nord7  | #8fbcbb |
| nord8  | #88c0d0 |
| nord9  | #81a1c1 |
| nord10 | #5e81ac |
| nord11 | #bf616a |
| nord12 | #d08770 |
| nord13 | #ebcb8b |
| nord14 | #a3be8c |
| nord15 | #b48ead |

I’ll prefix the variables’ name with ~phundrak-~ just in case it might
conflict with another package I might use in the future, so the CLisp
code looks like so:
#+name: gen-colors
#+headers: :tangle no :exports results :wrap src lisp :cache yes
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var colors=nord-colors
  (mapconcat (lambda (color)
               (format "(defvar phundrak-%s \"%s\")" (car color) (cadr color)))
             colors
             "\n")
#+end_src

#+RESULTS[08b3db7a2b4f31d641bcd096ff265eae06879244]: gen-colors
#+begin_src lisp
(defvar phundrak-nord0 "#2e3440")
(defvar phundrak-nord1 "#3b4252")
(defvar phundrak-nord2 "#434c5e")
(defvar phundrak-nord3 "#4c566a")
(defvar phundrak-nord4 "#d8dee9")
(defvar phundrak-nord5 "#e5e9f0")
(defvar phundrak-nord6 "#eceff4")
(defvar phundrak-nord7 "#8fbcbb")
(defvar phundrak-nord8 "#88c0d0")
(defvar phundrak-nord9 "#81a1c1")
(defvar phundrak-nord10 "#5e81ac")
(defvar phundrak-nord11 "#bf616a")
(defvar phundrak-nord12 "#d08770")
(defvar phundrak-nord13 "#ebcb8b")
(defvar phundrak-nord14 "#a3be8c")
(defvar phundrak-nord15 "#b48ead")
#+end_src

And with that we’re done!

* Modeline
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Modeline-g2ofyw01v5j0
:header-args:lisp: :mkdirp :tangle ~/.stumpwm.d/modeline.lisp
:END:
The modeline is pretty easy. First, let’s load the ~colors.lisp~ file we just created:
#+begin_src lisp
  (load "~/.stumpwm.d/colors.lisp")
#+end_src

Next, we can set some colors for the modeline. Let’s set the
background of the modeline to Nord1 and the foreground to Nord5, I
think this is a pretty good combination.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *mode-line-background-color* phundrak-nord1
        ,*mode-line-foreground-color* phundrak-nord5)
#+end_src

We /could/ also use some borders in the modeline. But we won’t. Let’s
still set its color to Nord1, just in case.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *mode-line-border-color* phundrak-nord1
        ,*mode-line-border-width* 0)
#+end_src

The timeout of the modeline indicates how often it refreshes in
seconds. I think one second is good.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *mode-line-timeout* 1)
#+end_src

Next we get to the content of the modeline. This format follows the
format indicated in the manpage of ~date~.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *time-modeline-string* "%F %H:%M")
#+end_src

Let’s also indicate how the groupname is displayed.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *group-format* " %t ")
#+end_src

The window format should display first its window number, then its
titled, limited to 30 characters.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *window-format* "%n: %30t")
#+end_src

We can indicate what to display in our modeline. Be aware the ~^>~
string will align the rest of the string to the right of the modeline.
~%g~ will display the group list, while ~%v~ will display the list of
windows that are in the current group, with the active one
highlighted, and ~%u~ will display urgent windows if there are any. ~%d~
on the other hand will display the date in the format set above, while
~%B~ will display the battery level of the laptop.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *screen-mode-line-format* (list "%g %v ^> %C | %M | %B | %d"))
#+end_src

This variable as you can see is a list of elements, although here I am
only using one string. But it is completely possible to insert some
CLisp code in here that returns some string if the user needs some
code to return data that cannot be easily accesible otherwise. I might
add some at some point, but not today yet.

# Also, let’s enable a system tray.
# #+begin_src lisp
#   (load-module "stumptray")
#   (stumptray::stumptray)
# #+end_src

# Don’t forget to run src_lisp[:exports code]{(ql:quickload :xembed)} in
# ~sbcl~ at least once to install its dependencies.

* Placement
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Placement-mhc3sr21v5j0
:header-args:lisp: :mkdirp :tangle ~/.stumpwm.d/placement.lisp :noweb yes
:END:
I’ve been used to ten groups, or workspaces, or tags, since I began
using tiling window managers. I shall then continue this habit. Here
is the list of groups I will be using:
#+name: list-groups
| Groups   |
|----------|
| term     |
| emacs    |
| www      |
| files    |
| media    |

| games    |
| private  |
| discord  |

#+name: gen-groups
#+headers: :tangle no :exports none :cache yes
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var groups=list-groups
  (string-join `(,(format "(grename \"%s\")" (car (car groups)))
                 ,@(mapcar (lambda (group)
                             (format "(gnewbg \"%s\")" (car group)))
                           (cdr groups)))
               "\n")
#+end_src

#+RESULTS[ed2b45d9a542233061373da32e830bd27a68d61b]: gen-groups
#+begin_example

(gnewbg "www")
(gnewbg "files")
(gnewbg "media")
(gnewbg "graphics")
(gnewbg "VMs")
(gnewbg "games")
(gnewbg "private")
(gnewbg "discord")
#+end_example

Groups are specified this way:
#+begin_src lisp
  (when *initializing*
    <<gen-groups()>>)
#+end_src

Next, let’s make sure no previous window placement rule is in place,
this will avoid unexpected and hard-to-debug behavior.
#+begin_src lisp
  (clear-window-placement-rules)
#+end_src

Now we can define our window placement preferences. For now, all rely
on the window’s class, so it will be pretty straightforward to write.
#+name: frame-preferences
| Window Class | Group   |
|--------------+---------|
| Emacs        | emacs   |
| Firefox      | browser |
| Nemo         | files   |
| Gimp         | media   |
| Signal       | private |
| lightcord    | discord |
| Steam        | games   |
| Virt-manager | VMs     |

#+name: gen-rules
#+headers: :tangle no :exports results :cache yes :wrap src lisp
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var rules=frame-preferences
  (mapconcat (lambda (rule)
               (let ((class (car rule))
                     (group (cadr rule)))
                 (format "(define-frame-preference \"%s\"
      (nil t t :class \"%s\"))" group class)))
             rules
             "\n")
#+end_src

This can be written this way:
#+RESULTS[b493d3cb9cae1fc97cdb4eb5dc56c9440fde0b2b]: gen-rules
#+begin_src lisp
(define-frame-preference "emacs"

    (nil t t :class "lightcord"))
(define-frame-preference "games"
    (nil t t :class "Steam"))
(define-frame-preference "VMs"
    (nil t t :class "Virt-manager"))
#+end_src

* Theme
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Theme-1x3c2u31v5j0
:header-args:lisp: :mkdirp :tangle ~/.stumpwm.d/theme.lisp :noweb yes
:END:
As in the modeline file, the first thing we’ll do is to load our colors.
#+begin_src lisp
  (load "~/.stumpwm.d/colors.lisp")
#+end_src

We can now go onto more serious business.

** Fonts
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Theme-Fonts-28pc8141v5j0
:END:
This gave me quite the headache when I tried to set this up: in order
to use TTF or OTF fonts, we need to use the ~ttf-fonts~ module which
relies on the ~clx-truetype~ library. A few years back, it should have
been possible to get it installed with a call to src_lisp[:exports
code]{(ql:quickload :clx-truetype)}, but it is no longer available!
There’s a quickfix available while we wait for ~clx-truetype~ to be once
again available: clone it in quicklisp’s local projects. You will
obviously need to have quicklisp installed (for that, follow the
[[https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/#installation][official instructions]]), then execute the following shell commands:
#+begin_src sh
  cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects/
  git clone https://github.com/lihebi/clx-truetype.git
#+end_src
This will make ~clx-truetype~ available to quicklisp, and you can run
again src_lisp[:exports code]{(ql:quickload :clx-truetype)} without an
issue (running it again is necessary to install its dependencies).

Now that this is out of the way, let’s add two lines so we can use TTF
and OTF fonts:
#+begin_src lisp
  (ql:quickload :clx-truetype)
  (load-module "ttf-fonts")
#+end_src

Something that didn’t click immediately for me (and I think StumpWM’s
documentation on this could be improved) is that ~set-font~ can be used
to set either one main font for StumpWM, as one might guess reading
the documentation --- or you can set a list of them! And this is
great, since my main font does not support some characters I regularly
have in my windows’ title, such as CJK characters, emojis and all!
Here is my list of fonts I want loaded:
#+name: list-fonts
| Family      | Subfamily | Size |
|-------------+-----------+------|
| DejaVu Sans | Book      |    9 |
| IPAMincho   | Regular   |   11 |

#+name: gen-fonts
#+headers: :tangle no :exports results :cache yes :wrap src lisp
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var fonts=list-fonts
  (format "(set-font `(%s))"
          (mapconcat (lambda (font)
                      (let ((family    (nth 0 font))
                            (subfamily (nth 1 font))
                            (size      (nth 2 font)))
                        (format ",%s" `(make-instance 'xft:font
                                                      :family ,(format "\"%s\"" family)
                                                      :subfamily ,(format "\"%s\"" subfamily)
                                                      :size ,size
                                                      :antialias t))))
                    fonts
                    "\n            "))
#+end_src

The code equivalent of this table can be seen below:

Apparently having two fonts, including one with Japanese characters,
does not help with window titles containing Japanese characters.

** Colors
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Theme-Colors-ctlclb51v5j0
:END:
We can now set a couple of colors for StumpWM. Not that we will see
them often since I don’t like borders on my windows, but in case I
want to get them back, they’ll be nice to have.
#+begin_src lisp
  (set-border-color        phundrak-nord1)
  (set-focus-color         phundrak-nord1)
  (set-unfocus-color       phundrak-nord3)
  (set-float-focus-color   phundrak-nord1)
  (set-float-unfocus-color phundrak-nord3)
#+end_src

Let’s also set the colors of the message and input windows:
#+begin_src lisp
  (set-fg-color phundrak-nord4)
  (set-bg-color phundrak-nord1)
#+end_src

As I said, I don’t like borders, so I’ll remove them. I’ll still keep
the window’s title bar available when it’s floating, and this is also
where I can set the format of its title: its number as well as its
name, limited to thirty characters.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf *normal-border-width*       0
        ,*float-window-border*       0
        ,*float-window-title-height* 15
        ,*window-border-style*       :none
        ,*window-format*             "%n:%30t")
#+end_src

** Message and Input Windows
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Theme-Message-and-Input-Windows-jxwhch51v5j0

The Input windows as well as the message windows should both be at the
top of my screen. And I believe a padding of five pixels for the
message windows is good.
#+begin_src lisp

** Gaps Between Frames
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Theme-Gaps-Between-Frames-bqngnt51v5j0
:END:
I love gaps. When I was using i3, I used the ~i3-gaps~ package, not just
plain ~i3~. In Awesome, I still have gaps. And in StumpWM, I shall still
use gaps. In order to use them, let’s load a module dedicated to gaps
in StumpWM:
#+begin_src lisp
  (load-module "swm-gaps")
#+end_src

Now that this is done, I can now set some variables bound to this
package.
#+begin_src lisp
  (setf swm-gaps:*head-gaps-size*  0
        swm-gaps:*inner-gaps-size* 5
        swm-gaps:*outer-gaps-size* 15)
#+end_src

Finally, let’s enable our gaps:
#+begin_src lisp
  (when *initializing*
    (swm-gaps:toggle-gaps))
#+end_src

* Keybinds
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Keybinds-c6wgf961v5j0
:header-args:lisp: :mkdirp :tangle ~/.stumpwm.d/keybindings.lisp :noweb yes
:END:
Buckle up, this chapter is going to be *long*, because me loves LOTS of keybinds.

First, let’s declare again we are using the default package ~stumpwm~:
#+begin_src lisp
  (in-package :stumpwm)
#+end_src

This will avoid us always repeating ~stumpwm:define-key~ or ~stumpwm:kbd~
instead of simply ~define-key~ and ~kbd~.

StumpWM behaves a bit like Emacs in terms of keybinds. You have
keymaps, which are a collection of keybinds, which in turn call CLisp
functions. However, unlike Emacs, you have to declare a lot of
keymaps, because StumpWM cannot (/yet/) understand keybinds such as
src_lisp[:exports code]{(kbd "C-x c l")}, so you end up creating a
keybind to a keymap which contains other keybinds, which might contain
a couple of keybinds to other keymaps. I hope this will get improved
soon.

There are also two keymaps you need to be aware of:
- ~*top-map*~ :: This is the keymap available litteraly everywhere. With
  this keymap, you can emulate most of your keybinds you have in other
  window managers. For instance, I cannot live without ~s-RET~ for
  creating new shells, so I’ll bind it to ~*top-map*~. But it’s good
  practice to avoid polluting ~*top-map*~ with too many keybinds.
- ~*root-map*~ :: This keymap is the default keymap that is already
  somewhat populated. It is available after hitting the prefix key set
  with ~set-prefix-key~ which we will see just below.

It is interesting to note that once you entered any keymap, except
~*top-map*~, if you hit ~?~ you will see the list of available keybinds.
I’d like it if something similar to ~general~ in Emacs too could be
implemented: give any arbitrary name to the keybind you just declared
which would be displayed instead of the actual function or keymap
called by keybind. It would be nicer to see ~frames~ rather than
~*my-frames-management-keymap*~.

Anyways, as mentionned above, ~*root-map*~ is already pre-populated with
some cool stuff for you, and you can access it with a prefix which is
by default ~C-t~. But if this doesn’t suit you, you can always redefine
it with ~set-prefix-key~. I personally like to have my space key as a
leader key, but in order to not have it conflict with Emacs, I also
need to press the super key too.
#+begin_src lisp
  (set-prefix-key (kbd "s-SPC"))
#+end_src

Also, let’s enable ~which-key~:
#+begin_src lisp
  (which-key-mode)
#+end_src

#+name: keybinds-gen
#+headers: :tangle no :exports none :cache yes :noweb yes
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var map="m" keybinds=frames-float

               (format "%s" (let ((key    (string-replace "~" "" (car keybind)))
                                  (function (string-replace "~" "" (cadr keybind))))
                              `(define-key ,map
                                 (kbd ,(format "\"%s\"" key))
                                 ,(if (string-prefix-p "'" function t)
                                      function
                                    (format "\"%s\"" function))))))
             keybinds
             "\n")
#+end_src

** Frames and Windows management
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Keybinds-Frames-and-Windows-management-g4s6j371v5j0
:END:
As you’ll see, I have loads of keybinds related to frames and windows
management. They are all categorized in a specific keymap, called
~*my-frames-management-keymap*~. But before that, let’s define the
keymap ~*my-frames-float-keymap*~, with keybinds dedicated to actions
related with floating windows and frames.

#+name: frames-float
#+caption: ~*my-frames-float-keymap*~
| Keychord | Function       |
|----------+----------------|
| ~f~        | ~float-this~     |
| ~F~        | ~unfloat-this~   |
| ~u~        | ~unfloat-this~   |
| ~C-f~      | ~flatten-floats~ |

We can now pass onto ~*my-frames-management-keymap*~. My keybinds are organized this way:
#+name: frames-and-window-management
#+caption: ~*my-frames-management-keymap*~
| Keychord | Function                  |
|----------+---------------------------|
| ~c~        | ~move-focus left~           |
| ~t~        | ~move-focus down~           |
| ~s~        | ~move-focus up~             |
| ~r~        | ~move-focus right~          |
| ~C~        | ~move-window left~          |
| ~T~        | ~move-window down~          |
| ~S~        | ~move-window up~            |
| ~R~        | ~move-window right~         |
| ~C-c~      | ~exchange-direction left~   |

| ~/~        | ~hsplit~                    |
| ~-~        | ~vsplit~                    |
| ~h~        | ~hsplit~                    |
| ~v~        | ~vsplit~                    |
| ~H~        | ~hsplit-equally~            |
| ~V~        | ~vsplit-equally~            |
| ~.~        | ~iresize~                   |
| ~d~        | ~remove-split~              |
| ~D~        | ~only~                      |
| ~e~        | ~expose~                    |
| ~f~        | ~fullscreen~                |
| ~F~        | ~'*my-frames-float-keymap*~ |
| ~i~        | ~info~                      |
| ~I~        | ~show-window-properties~    |
| ~m~        | ~meta~                      |
| ~o~        | ~other-window~              |
| ~q~        | ~delete-window~             |
| ~Q~        | ~kill-window~               |
| ~s~        | ~sibling~                   |
| ~u~        | ~next-urgent~               |
| ~U~        | ~unmaximize~                |

As you can see, with the binding to ~F~, we make use of the
~*my-frames-float-keymap*~ keymap declared above, which means if we find
ourselves in ~*my-frames-management-keymap*~, pressing ~F~ will bring us
in ~*my-frames-float-keymap*~.

#+begin_src lisp
  (defvar *my-frames-float-keymap*
    (let ((m (make-sparse-keymap)))
      <<keybinds-gen(map="m", keybinds=frames-float)>>
      m))

  (defvar *my-frames-management-keymap*
    (let ((m (make-sparse-keymap)))
      <<keybinds-gen(map="m", keybinds=frames-and-window-management)>>
      m))
#+end_src

Let’s bind ~*my-frames-management-keymap*~ in ~*root-keymap*~:
#+begin_src lisp
  (define-key *root-map* (kbd "w") '*my-frames-management-keymap*)
#+end_src

That way, if we want for instance to split our current frame
vertically, we’ll be able to type ~s-SPC w -~ and ~vsplit~ will be called.

I also bound a couple of these functions to the top keymap for easier access:
#+name: top-window-map
| Keychord | Function                 |
|----------+--------------------------|
| ~s-c~      | ~move-focus left~          |
| ~s-t~      | ~move-focus down~          |
| ~s-s~      | ~move-focus up~            |
| ~s-r~      | ~move-focus right~         |
| ~s-C~      | ~move-window left~         |
| ~s-T~      | ~move-window down~         |
| ~s-S~      | ~move-window up~           |
| ~s-R~      | ~move-window right~        |
| ~s-M-c~    | ~exchange-direction left~  |
| ~s-M-t~    | ~exchange-direction down~  |
| ~s-M-s~    | ~exchange-direction up~    |
| ~s-M-r~    | ~exchange-direction right~ |

This translates to:
#+begin_src lisp
  <<keybinds-gen(map="*top-map*", keybinds=top-window-map)>>
#+end_src

Being a [[https://bepo.fr/wiki/Accueil][bépo layout]] user, the ~hjkl~ keys don’t exactly fit me, as you
might have noticed with my use of ~ctsr~ which is its equivalent. Due to
this, the interactive keymap for ~iresize~ is not ideal for me, let me
redefine it:
#+begin_src lisp
  (define-interactive-keymap (iresize tile-group) (:on-enter #'setup-iresize
                                                   :on-exit  #'resize-unhide
                                                   :abort-if #'abort-resize-p)
    ((kbd "c") "resize-direction left")
    ((kbd "t") "resize-direction down")
    ((kbd "s") "resize-direction up")
    ((kbd "r") "resize-direction right"))
#+end_src

** Applications
:PROPERTIES:

:END:
When I speak about applications, I speak about programs and scripts in
general. With these keymaps, I can launch programs I often have use
for, but I can also launch some scripts as well as take screenshots.

First, let’s create my ~rofi~ scripts keymap.
#+name: rofi-scripts
#+caption: ~*my-rofi-keymap*~
| Keychord | Function                                      |

| ~s~        | ~exec rofi -show ssh~                           |
| ~p~        | ~exec rofi-pass -t~                             |
| ~P~        | ~exec rofi-pass~                                |
| ~e~        | ~exec rofi-emoji~                               |
| ~m~        | ~exec rofi-mount~                               |
| ~u~        | ~exec rofi-umount~                              |
| ~w~        | ~exec wacom-setup~                              |
| ~y~        | ~exec ytplay~                                   |
| ~Y~        | ~exec rofi-ytdl~                                |

Here’s the equivalent in Common Lisp.
#+begin_src lisp
  (defvar *my-rofi-keymap*
    (let ((m (make-sparse-keymap)))
      <<keybinds-gen(map="m", keybinds=rofi-scripts)>>
      m))
#+end_src

Let’s also create a keymap for screenshots.
#+name: screenshot-keymap
#+caption: ~*my-screenshot-keymap*~
| Keychord | Function                                             |

| ~d~        | ~exec scrot -d 3 -e 'mv $f ~/Pictures/Screenshots'~     |
| ~s~        | ~exec scrot -e 'mv $f ~/Pictures/Screenshots'~          |
| ~S~        | ~exec scrot -s -e 'mv $f ~/Pictures/Screenshots'~       |
| ~g~        | ~exec scrot -e 'gimp $f; mv $f ~/Pictures/Screenshots'~ |

Here’s the equivalent in Common Lisp.
#+begin_src lisp
  (defvar *my-screenshot-keymap*
    (let ((m (make-sparse-keymap)))
      <<keybinds-gen(map="m", keybinds=screenshot-keymap)>>
      m))
#+end_src

We can now define our applications keymap which will reference both
the above keymaps.
#+name: application-keymap
#+caption: ~*my-applications-keymap*~
| Keychord | Function                |
|----------+-------------------------|

| ~e~        | ~emacs~                   |
| ~g~        | ~exec gimp~               |
| ~n~        | ~exec nemo~               |
| ~r~        | ~'*my-rofi-keymap*~       |
| ~s~        | ~'*my-screenshot-keymap*~ |

This translates to:
#+begin_src lisp
  (defvar *my-applications-keymap*
    (let ((m (make-sparse-keymap)))
      <<keybinds-gen(map="m", keybinds=application-keymap)>>
      m))
#+end_src

The application keymap can now be bound to the top map like so:
#+begin_src lisp
  (define-key *top-map* (kbd "s-a") '*my-applications-keymap*)
#+end_src

I will also bind to the top map ~s-RET~ in order to open a new terminal
window. The screenshot keymap is also bound to the ScreenPrint key.
#+begin_src lisp
  (define-key *top-map* (kbd "s-RET") "exec kitty")
  (define-key *top-map* (kbd "Print") '*my-screenshot-keymap*)
#+end_src
