meta: Change default browser from librewolf to qutebrowser
Browsers were always a pain point for me due to the manual intervention
they often required to get extensions configured properly across
separate user profiles. qutebrowser has improved significantly since the
last time I tried it (around 2017) and supports modern browsing due to
its usage of Chromium 102 with QtWebEngine 6.4.0.

kitty: Disable audio bell
Now it's possible to use the terminal in peace, and with the volume set
to a cool amount, without worrying about audio bells when scrolling
through man pages.

meta: Replace firefox with librewolf
I am personally not amused by some of the defaults that firefox ships
with and would rather not have to deal with them on new configurations.
Although it's possible to sync settings across devices or simply copy
the profile directory, the advantages of librewolf outweigh the cons for
my individual use case, at least for now.

kitty: Make fcitx ui work under wayland
This fixes an issue where kitty wasn't able to show the ui of fcitx
under wayland. By forcing x11 specifically, kitty now has reasonably
good support for fcitx under wayland.

kitty: Use practical layout hierarchy
This makes it easy to switch layouts in kitty and usually get what we
want rather quickly, without having to worry about the current layout
being used.

kitty: Enable dynamic background opacity
At some point I disabled this setting, possibly because of a bug or
other issue at the time, most likely related to my use of w3m or a
similar image preview script.

Now that I take advantage of all of kitty's features in 2022, especially
since it has proper fcitx support, there shouldn't be a reason to not
enable dynamic background opacity, as it seems to work flawlessly.

kitty: Enable remote control with listen support
This enables us to automatically change kitty colors when changing pywal
color schemes, which means that kitty window management, such as its tab
feature, will honor the new colors of pywal automatically, without
having to restart kitty.

kitty: Don't use spacing between windows
This looked nice in rice screenshots but isn't practical since it limits
the amount of text available on the screen at any given moment.

kitty: Use grid layout by default
This makes kitty's first 3 windows mimic the bspwm experience.

kitty: Hide window decorations
This maximizes the working space for the terminal contents.

Update kitty config
Some nice changes here, although I may stick to alacritty for now since
it seems to be faster and I can focus on using tmux instead of having
multiple ways to manage windows.

Remove ctrl+alt keybindings from kitty
Since I don't use urxvt anymore (which I assume is where I got the
ctrl+alt from), I no longer confuse the two.

kitty: Decrease window margin width
This increases the amount of available space we have to work
with kitty windows.

kitty: Use distinguishable border colors
Now that I use borderless and gapless windows by default, the window
management feature of kitty has become even more useful to me. This
change makes it easy to determine the active kitty window.

Despite having used tmux exclusively before, I have grown accustomed to
the benefits of using kitty as the window manager. tmux may still be
useful, for example, over ssh, but kitty is arguably the way to go for
local user sessions.

kitty: Always close when the shell exits
Since fish will warn when there are background processes before exiting,
and since when we type "exit" we really do want to close both the shell
and its corresponding terminal window, this change makes sense.

kitty: Use ideal terminal size for neofetch
It turns out that neofetch works exceptionally well with this terminal
size, so I'm making it the default in kitty.

Now I can use neofetch without having to worry about resizing the
terminal window for the desired effect.

kitty: Add default window size
Since kitty would automatically assume a fullscreen or half screen size
as the default, it's much easier to simply specify the size all floating
windows should start out as.

Since kitty allows specifying the size in cells instead of pixels, it
is easy to achieve the same "actual" terminal size regardless of which
DPI is being used.

meta: Split kitty config into separate files
Since kitty.conf can include settings from other files, it is easy to
enforce sane kitty defaults without relying on pywal templates.
