sxhkd: Control mpv with mpris + playerctl
I personally love this setup for language learning and it emphasizes how
far one can go with customizing their setup when using a window manager
like bspwm + sxhkd. Although it's possible to achieve the same effect in
other desktop environments, sxhkdrc makes adding new keybinds extremely
simple and easy to maintain.

sxhkd: Add clipboard to browser
This makes it easy to search for text without having to worry about
browser extensions or even being in the browser itself.

sxhkd: Prioritize color scheme over background
In the future it may be nice to automatically add a selection of
backgrounds that can be rotated through, or support getting those
images from an external source.

sxhkd: Replace alt keybinds with super
This prevents us from having keybinds that conflict with other keybinds.

Now it's possible to see exactly how much brightness the display has.

sxhkd: Use Super+Shift+P to screenshot selections
This is part of the process of changing all keybinds to use Super to
avoid conflicts with other programs.

sxhkd: Change fn keys to super + F1-F12
This change has 3 main benefits:

1. We no longer have to worry about switching between the fn keys and
   F1-F12 keys, and can benefit from both keybinds at the same time.
2. Keys that don't return anything under xev (such as the chat icon and
   telephone icons) can now be customized.
3. We no longer have to worry about accidentally pressing the networking
   key that disables the internet connection.

sxhkd: Add placeholders for fn keys
Note that instead of having to remember to switch between fn and non-fn
keys, especially when working with both at the same time, we can simply
map commands that would use those fn keys with super instead.

In this way, we no longer have to worry about the same keystroke performing
a different command. The current commit serves as an easy way to remember
what the existing fn keys were if needed.

sxhkd: Copy selections to clipboard by default
Since selections are more likely to be temporary than full screen
screenshots, copying their contents to clipboard by default is useful,
although in the future it may be more practical to create an image and
copy to clipboard at the same time, similar to other screenshotting
tools like ShareX.

sxhkd: Use a single instance for kitty
This makes kitty slightly faster when opening multiple windows, among
other things.

sxhkd: Show notification instead of image on screenshot
This lets us take advantage of screenshots in full screen applications,
without the interruption that another window would provide.

Revert "Remove sxhkd"
Similar to the other revert commits, keeping my sxhkd config is useful
if I want to use bspwm in the future, since I won't have to re-create
it later.

Remove sxhkd
Ditching bspwm+sxhkd admittedly makes my setup a bit more simple, which
I like. I also like how sway supports multiple monitors out of the box.

sxhkd: Add variable DPI support to dropdown.sh
This makes the dropdown terminal render properly in both 96 and 192 DPI,
as well as any multiples thereof.

meta: Remove rofi-pass
As much as rofi-pass may appear to be useful, it is simply easier to
just use the pass command directly, especially if you have a passphrase
set on the private encryption key you use to unlock passwords.

meta: Remove rofi-calc and rofi's window mode
Although rofi-calc was certainly cool to use, it is not in the
official repositories. Instead of trying to rely on it as a
dependency, I've gone ahead and removed it instead.

sxhkd: Use rofi launch script
This gives the task of setting environment variables to rofi's
launch.sh, instead of trying to do it in sxhkdrc.

Another benefit is that rofi can be launched properly from anywhere,
regardless of whether or not sxhkd is being used.

sxhkd: Add bspc hidden flag functionality
Note that window order is not based on the order in which windows are
hidden, but something else entirely. For this reason, it is recommended
to hide only one window at once.

A more robust solution would be to let the user choose from a list of
available hidden windows, potentially through rofi's dmenu capability.

sxhkd: Remove redundant environment variable
Since QT_FONT_DPI is already set in bspwmrc, there is no need to define
it here with the same value.

docs: Add READMEs for mpd, mpv, and sxhkd
Contrary to the similarity in naming, mpd and mpv are two completely
different programs that both serve completely different purposes.

stow: Split bspwm into separate packages
It turns out that placing similar config files (i.e. bspwm-related) in
the same directory is not the way to go about handling dotfiles since
each config file (or dotfile) *should* manipulate only a single program.

This was not the case back when I used urxvt (which would require the
old method of .Xresources), but now that I understand more about how
*modern* dotfiles work (with $XDG_CONFIG_HOME), separating dotfiles by
program became the obvious choice.

Combine bspwm-specific dotfiles
There are many dotfiles that we don't have to worry about when using a
desktop environment like Plasma or Xfce. These dotfiles are bspwm
specific and should all be stowed at the same time when stowing bspwm.

Update polybar config
This commit adds a "secondary" bar type, which takes up the entire
available space horizontally. Alternatively, use the main bar if you
want to go for a floating appearance instead.

polybar:

- Properly referenced all the xrdb colors

  new windows)

sxhkd:

- Updated polybar show / hide with new top_padding value
