Went from termite to urxvt and back to termite again. Now the circle is
complete! Joking aside, the reason urxvt was chosen over termite in the
first place was because of better image support and less memory usage
with multiple terminals open (due to urxvtc and urxvtd).
Along the way, some things like emojis and other features only worked in
termite. Since termite still works exceptionally well, and since image
support isn't really an issue, termite should be more than good enough
here. Plus, my config files work pretty well across both bspwm and
Plasma. The extra memory saved from urxvtcd isn't needed on modern
hardware, and even if it was, I could just use tmux. Getting rid of this
extra dependency helps make my dotfiles cleaner.
This commit adds fish support for the other functions I used to use in
zsh. Since my dotfiles are now separated by environment, it's easy to
see which environment depends on which dotfiles, instead of stowing them
one by one based on software name.
Really, there is no reason to use zsh when fish exists, at least not for
my use case. Maintaining one set of shell config files is easier than
two, so I'm removing the zsh files.
Some other changes in this commit include:
- The addition of the current user and hostname to the fish prompt
- The addition of some zsh functions I re-implemented in fish
- The removal of the dircolors file (not needed with exa anyway)
- The removal of some aliases I never used
-
It doesn't make sense to manage an entire neofetch config file since the
majority of the settings required to produce a decent output can be
achieved by just passing options at runtime.
This commit puts all common dotfiles in the same directory. This makes
it really easy to stow all my dotfiles that are common across all the
setups I use, and also makes it easy for me to verify that all the
dotfiles I need are already stowed with one simple command.
This helps separate the installation process from the other scripts that
are usually ran after a reboot, although this may change in the future
if chroot is preferred over executing the commands later.
Now that I've read the man pages for `stow` and actually know how to use
it properly, I can organize my repositiory by using a separate dots
directory specifically for my dotfiles.
Additionally, similar dotfiles are now grouped together. This means less
stow work for me with files that would otherwise only be used in one
environment (e.g. bspwm).
As much as one would like to show off browsing the internet with w3m,
such a setup is highly impractical for daily use. Remembering the
keybindings I set up was also becoming an issue, so I simply removed
them in favor of the defaults, assuming I ever need to use w3m at a
later date (probably not).
In reality, zsh is not needed here and shouldn't be supported. Many
defaults of fish require hacky solutions to work in zsh; the investment
and maintenance needed is not worth it.
Eventually, zsh will be removed completely. This is the first step
towards accomplishing that goal.
Unused files and other commands will be simplified in attempt to make my
dotfiles more minimal and use the defaults, which helps a lot when using
a shell without my settings.
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.
Since this repository has diverged once again in attempt to make
something maintainable, the README has been re-written once more.
It would be amazing if this turns out to be the final iteration of
things, and all that's left is stripping out the unnecessary.
As much as I enjoyed using Waterfox, the update to Firefox (and its
developer tools) is pretty nice. Since many add-ons now support this
new version of Firefox, I think it's now time to make the switch.
This commit adds support for many languages that I've had the need to
work with recently, although some of these plugins could be removed
at a later date.
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.
Since many things have changed, the image previews are no longer
relevant. Universal theming is still a concept, but there has been a
shift towards more KDE-like applications for productivity.
Although ctags were a nice addition to vim visually, I hardly made use
of them, if ever. This commit removes ctags since the amount of effort
required to maintain such a feature outweighs any gained benefits.
I now use a series of shell scripts to handle the installation process.
This lets each script do one thing and do it well, while at the same
time makes it easy to change the relevant commands as needed.

since removed all GPL v3'd code and anything that remains after this
