1 Presentation
++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 fish as my shell of choice, and Emacs 27.0.90 +(custom build) using 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 i3-gaps, an i3 fork by Airblader with which I use two bars +generated by Polybar. My other TWM, and the one I use most often, is +AwesomeWM. Both TWMs use pywal to define their color scheme, as well as rofi’s +color scheme. +
+ ++Finally, you can find my configuration for my Ergodox keyboard here. It is +optimized for usage with the Bépo layout set as a software layout, and for +shortcuts from i3. +

+3 Features
+-
+
- 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
+installation.org exports almost all of its code snippets to
+.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.
+
3.1 Tiling Window Managers
+3.1.1 AwesomeWM
++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 here. +
+3.1.2 i3 configuration
++The i3 configuration is detailed in its corresponding README which you can +find here. +
+3.2 Graphical tweaks
+3.2.1 GTK Settings
+3.2.1.1 GTK2
++Regarding GTK2, I have only one configuration file: the filechooser’s +configuration file. +
+[Filechooser Settings]
+
++The first option alows me to open the file chooser in the current working +directory: +
+StartupMode=cwd
+
+
+Next, setting the location mode to path-bar will show the path as buttons
+that can be clicked rather than the full path.
+
LocationMode=path-bar
+
++With this configuration, by default we won’t see hidden files. +
+ShowHidden=true
+
++And we'll also see the size of the visible files. +
+ShowSizeColumn=true
+
++Now, let’s choose the geometry of our file picker. These two first lines +set where the file picker appears: +
+GeometryX=566 +GeometryY=202 ++
+And these two describe the size of the window: +
+GeometryWidth=800 +GeometryHeight=400 ++
+With these two lines, we set how our files are sorted: by name, and in the +ascending order. +
+SortColumn=name +SortOrder=ascending ++
+Our default view mode is a list of files: +
+ViewMode=list-view
+
+
+And finally, setting our icon view scale to -1 sets the icon view to the
+max size.
+
IconViewScale=-1
+
+3.2.1.2 GTK3
++The following file helps me choosing the aspect of various GTK+ 3 software, +including their theme and icons. First, let’s declare the header: +
+[Settings]
+
++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. +
+gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
+
++Next, the icon theme is the Flat Remix Dark icon theme: +
+gtk-icon-theme-name = Flat-Remix-Dark
+
++Now, the general theme for GTK3 is Arc Dark. +
+gtk-theme-name = Arc-Dark
+
+gtk-can-change-accels = 1
+
+gtk-xft-antialias=1 +gtk-xft-hinting=1 +gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintslight +# gtk-xft-rgba=rgb ++
+Since window decorations are handled by my WMs, I will leave this variable +empty. +
+gtk-decoration-layout=
+
+3.2.2 Picom
++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 here. +
+3.2.3 Xresources
+
+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.
+
st.font: Source Code Pro for Powerline:style=book
+
++And I will set my shell like this: +
+st.shell: /usr/bin/fish ++
+I can also set the transparency of st (my terminal emulator) like so: +
+st.alpha: 0.9 ++
+I used to have lines dedicated to UXTerm and URxvt, but I cast them out of +my system. +
+3.3 Text and source code editing
+3.3.1 Emacs configuration
++Emacs is my main text editor, which I use for almost everything. Because, +you know… +
+++ ++Emacs is a great operating system, it just lacks a good text editor. +
+
+You can find my Emacs config, based on Spacemacs, in my .spacemacs file, and +my user configuration in my spacemacs.org file. +
+3.3.2 Nano
++Although it is a very simple piece of software, nano does offer some +customization. Mine can be found in my nano.org file. +
+3.3.3 Rustfmt
++You can find my Rustfmt configuration here. +
+3.4 Custom scripts in PATH
++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 +.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. +
+3.5 Fish configuration with useful abbreviations
++You can also find in my Fish shell configuration in my fish.org file, which +contains my usual abbreviations. +
+3.6 And some minor configuration files
+3.6.1 Email signature
++This file gets inserted automatically at the end of my emails. +
+Lucien “Phundrak” Cartier-Tilet +https://phundrak.com (Français) +https://en.phundrak.com (English) + +Sent from a Free and Open-Source Linux operating system with GNU/Emacs ++
3.6.2 Global gitignore
++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 ~/.gitignore_global file. First, we don’t want +nano’s backup files. +
+~* ++
+And object files and output binaries generated by gcc and the likes aren’t
+welcome either.
+
*.out +*.o ++
3.7 Tmux configuration
++You can find my tmux configuration in tmux.org. It depends on the submodule +.tmux by Gregory Pakosz. +
+4 Dependencies
++Of course, some dependencies are needed for my dotfiles to work well. Here is +a non-exhaustive list of software needed by these configuration files: +

+5 Installation
++For an installation walkthrough of my Arch Linux installation, check out my +installation.org file where I walk you through the first manual steps and +through the bootstrap you can execute to automatically take care of a lot of +elements. +
