bspwm: Enable touchpad use while typing
Since we rarely (if ever) touch the touchpad by accident while typing,
having the option to use the touchpad and keyboard at the same time is
useful.

bspwm: Auto-hide the mouse cursor when inactive
This makes working with bspwm a lot cooler since the cursor is now
automatically hidden when not in use, making full screen videos and
other applications a lot more immersive.

bspwm: Make fcitx work with kitty
Note that although it's possible to make fcitx work with alacritty as
well, the current implementation doesn't show what you're typing as
you're typing it, which is inconvenient.

Because of this, I recommend using kitty in all cases if switching input
methods is important for your use case. kitty also has the advantage of
image preview support on both xorg and wayland, since ueberzug does not
have wayland support.

Note that I previously set up a working environment with ibus-mozc
which, although was cool (and better than ibus-anthy), did not offer all
the benefits that fcitx provides. Now that I figured out how to make
fcitx work on both xorg and wayland, as well as in applications like
anki, this is my preferred input method for personal systems.

meta: Switch cursor theme from breeze to phinger
Using phinger is slightly cooler since it's not as stock as other cursor

Revert "Remove compton"
We actually still need compton (now picom) for screen tearing in bspwm,
so we'll add it back now. In the future it may be useful to keep
dotfiles in the repository even when I no longer use them, since the
configuration itself may still be useful.

meta: Replicate sway workspace functionality in bspwm
I like how sway handles workspaces. This change makes it so bspwm uses
numbers as the workspaces and polybar only shows workspaces that are
being used in the bar.

Remove bspwm
It's the end of an era and I no longer use bspwm. Although the tiling of
bspwm was admittedly cool, at the end of the day most of my time isn't
spent opening new windows so working with the i3-like sway instead works
just fine.

Remove compton
Over time compton became unmaintained and a replacement package picom
took its place. After trying out sway for a bit, I realized that it
doesn't need a separate compositor at all like bspwm does, so I might
just switch to it. Note that there is a performance penalty on sway
that I haven't figured out how to solve yet.

bspwm: Add HiDPI support for GTK applications
It turns out that GDK_SCALE and GDK_DPI_SCALE is what you need to add
HiDPI support to GTK applications. Since you probably have .Xresources
adjusted for your HiDPI display, you will need to set both GDK_SCALE and
GDK_DPI_SCALE at the same time to render things properly.

Ironically, I never got this to work before. Maybe because I was always
using 'GTK_SCALE' instead of 'GDK_SCALE', or maybe because I never used
both GDK_SCALE and GDK_DPI_SCALE at the same time.

This gives me full HiDPI support in bspwm, with the exception of a few
applications (polybar, dunst) that don't honor DPI as of this writing.

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.

meta: Remove all references to urxvt and termite
Now that I've learned kitty, other terminal emulators like termite and
urxvt are no longer necessary. Here I remove any config files that were
necessary for either termite or urxvt and change all terminal options
to kitty.

As an added bonus, a global gtk.css file is no longer necessary. This
contradicted a core idea of dotfiles (that every program should have
its own directory in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME) and was in general a weird hack
that also affected non-termite emulators.

meta: Remove termite
I removed termite before, but this time I shouldn't need to add it
again. The kitty terminal emulator supports image output and handles
fonts better than termite. Plus, true transparency can be used without
sacrificing images in the terminal.

sxhkd: Don't start tmux by default
It turns out that since tmux sessions will stay active after you close a
terminal window, it is easy to end up with a lot of empty sessions. This
makes it difficult to detach and re-attach the appropriate tmux sessions.

Additionally, some features of kitty (notably terminal images and
dynamic background opacity) will not work inside tmux. Since kitty has
its own window manager, this caveat can be easily circumvented. By
invoking tmux manually instead, we also avoid the problem of nested
tmux sessions.

kitty: Always use fish as the default shell
Since changing the default shell to fish without breaking Fedora with
GNOME is non-trivial, I instead set the option from the terminal
emulator itself.

Although this won't carry over to ttys and other environments, it should
be simple enough to start fish manually when needed.

meta: Add kitty
I've gone through a lot of terminal emulators by now, and have always
switched between URxvt and Termite (due to the features they support).

For URxvt, this is particularly cumbersome since the version in the
official repositories does not have the patches required for practical
use. Even with patches applied, URxvt supports neither true color nor
emoji. Termite worked well, but it lacked image support.

Kitty features all of the following:

- True color support
- Image support
- Emoji support
- Icon fonts support
- Transparency support

Additionally, projects like Ranger and Neofetch have already taken the
initiative to support the Kitty image protocol (which, luckily for me,
are the only programs I use with images in the terminal).

Why not Alacritty, the other GPU-based terminal?
---

Although Alacritty is also very performant, there are several things
that keep me away from this terminal emulator.

Alacritty, as of this writing, renders neither images nor emoji.
Although it is certainly possible to use a terminal emulator without
either of these, the lack of these features limits what you can do with
the program you (presumably) spend the most time with on your computer.

The current config setup is "all or nothing"; I cannot remove defaults
from my alacritty.yml and expect those same defaults to carry over.
Even common terminal escape sequences are hard-coded into the config
file, which cannot be removed without breaking things.

Some other benefits of kitty:

- Full image support in transparent terminals
- w3m hack + loop is no longer necessary for persistent images
- No weird artifacts around the image
- Can highlight text without affecting the image
- Images aren't lost after switching between desktops

bspwm: Use tmux by default in all cases
Since tmux is only a problem when using neofetch with the w3m image
backend, I have instead added a new keybind to handle this use case,
which floats the terminal by default as well.

stow: Split systemd package into bspwm and ssh-agent
Since urxvt will only be used on my bspwm setup, and since ssh-agent
can be used on non-bspwm setups as well, it makes sense to separate
the two.

meta: Add executable bit to bspwmrc and other scripts
After a considerable amount of research, I finally understand how to use
chmod and what file permissions in linux actually mean.

It turns out that git can commit both regular files (644 permission) and
executable files (755 permission). This is great since changing file
permissions manually after a git clone is no longer needed.

This useful feature is enabled by default, however, it seems like I
disabled it a long time ago. If this is you, simply re-enable it by
setting `filemode` to true in your .git/config.

Additionally, many of the benefits from termite and urxvt are not a
necessity in other desktop environments.

stow: Move bspwm-specific dotfiles to separate directory
Previously I wanted to stow everything at once, but now that I know how
to use Makefiles a bit more, I can still stow everything at once with
multiple directories. Additionally, this allows people (myself included)
to only stow the dotfiles they want, such as only vim or only fish.

Instead of separating *every* file into its own directory, I've opted
instead to group common configs together and only use separate
directories where they make sense (e.g. a vim config).

Move dotfiles to the dots directory
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).
