feh: Remove delete keybind
This helps prevent accidents. In the event that we need to delete
images, ranger with image previews should work equally well.

starship: Make battery more noticeable
This makes it easier to predict how much time we have left before the
battery runs out when developing without a charger.

fish: Use single instance for ranger kitty terminals
This should slightly improve performance when an existing kitty instance
is already available.

bspwm: Remove borderless/gapless monocle
Since we often use non-monocle layouts without borders or gaps, having a
separate borderless/gapless monocle mode was often confusing since we
didn't know which layout we were in. When using a status indicator with
bars like polybar, knowing the current layout required a separate script
and was overall hacky, with its state not being updated until certain
bspc events occurred.

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.

meta: Remove rofi
rofi was cute, however I no longer have a desire to run an external
interface for simply starting programs. This can be achieved in many
different ways through a shell, and without the disadvantages (such as
having all items listed by default) that rofi came with.

rofi: Show current focused desktop
This was cute, however knowing which desktop we're on may be irrelevant
in a future workspace implementation. Adding this information to the
fish prompt with starship may also be an option.

rofi: Show window on focused monitor
This makes rofi work nicely with multi-monitor setups, however I was
planning to remove rofi since I can do everything that rofi can do with
a simple shell, and without having to worry about its inconveniences,
such as unreadable default wal color themes.

meta: Use alttab
alttab <https://github.com/sagb/alttab> is a cool alternative to the
more traditional ways of managing windows in bspwm that lets us focus on
the currently open windows instead of which desktop they're on.

sxhkd: Add desktop bouncing functionality
Note that I originally used this as a test to see how useful it would
be, however I quickly realized that having unpredictable desktop states
is not ideal, especially when not using a status bar like polybar.

The code was shared as a solution to a post on r/bspwm. Credits to the
original author, however I plan to ditch this solution for more
predictable desktop management.

meta: Remove polybar
It turns out polybar was bloat and I don't actually need one, at least
that's my current thought process. In particular the advantage of
fullscreen windows without having to worry about whether polybar is
visible or not should outweigh when I temporarily show the bar with a
keybind.

Note that while I was exploring taking advantage of bspwm's monocle
layout more, I went through a point where borders would only be visible
when multiple windows were present, which required me to use the single
monocle config variable and implement the solution proposed in the
GitHub issue below:

meta: Add thunar
I used thunar for a while and it was a great experience with few
exceptions, however I will likely remove it in favor of a more command
line-based experience. Using thunar was a valuable learning exercise and
it helped me understand more about what file browsers actually do, and I
realized that I can replicate this experience fairly trivially while
giving me the benefits of my existing configuration.

bspwm: Don't float mpv by default
This makes it easier to manage mpv windows like all other windows, which
lets us take advantage of watching 16:9 videos with mpv tiled while
working on other things.

git: Change editor from vim to neovim
Neovim has some nice additions like honoring the blinking cursor from
kitty when in insert mode. I don't remember why I used vim instead of
neovim here, but neovim is mature enough that it should be an excellent
choice to use for many years to come.

gtk: Use flat color theme and icons
I originally made this change to take advantage of wpgtk, and although I
was successful and wpgtk was a cool experience, I am not that interested
in updating all my config files to use wpgtk instead of wal.

Since this was mainly useful for thunar and nautilus, and since I'm
considering using ranger only and writing my own scripts for additional
functionality, I may change this to a simpler theme in the future.

bspwm: Increase pointer_motion_interval
In the theoretical scenario that I use bspwm on a high refresh rate
monitor, this change makes it so resizing windows won't be limited to
60Hz.

polybar: Decrease height
This makes polybar less obtrusive, however I've been considering
removing it in the long-term to maximize screen estate. Although polybar
is cute, I don't *need* to know everything in the bar every second I use
the computer. Having specialized commands or keybinds that show certain
information seems more useful in this case.

Some information, such as the date and time, could become a part of the
wallpaper itself, making blank desktops more useful than they are now.
Although widgets are also an option, I have not verified how well these
work under my current setup yet.

vim: Open Shift JIS files with proper encoding
This makes dealing with certain Japanese files significantly easier
since we no longer have to worry about manually performing a Shift JIS
to UTF-8 conversion before opening the file in vim, nor do we have to
worry about manually changing the encoding with :e ++enc=sjis.

vim: Don't show spelling errors for CJK characters
This makes dealing with CJK files inside vim a much more pleasant
experience. Note that automatically handling Shift JIS encoded files is
something I haven't implemented yet, although a simple keybind could
make things more manageable.

bspwm: Use left/up/right/down desktops
This was an experiment to see if I could make switching between desktops
easier. Instead of thinking about desktops in terms of their contents or
numbers, we can think about them in terms of gestures used to reveal
them.

The main advantage to this setup is that you can access any of the other
desktops with one keystroke. This is in contrast to having to press
super+tab twice. The other advantage is that the desktops are always at
a predictable location. One swipe to the right will always get you the
desktop on the right, whereas two super+tabs can land on any desktop.

Makefile: Decrease stow verbosity to 1
A verbosity level of 2 was cool during testing, but now that the
Makefile has been stable for years at this point, having all that
verbosity seems unnecessary. This change still shows when things are
stowed, but with less detail than before.

As far as I can tell, dual-function-keys also works in a tty, so
keystrings is no longer necessary, and you don't have to worry about
making sure that loadkeys is ran either.

meta: Remove xcape and xmodmap
These are obsolete technologies that are no longer needed thanks to
dual-function-keys, which I'll add in a future commit. This also fixes
an issue where left control would behave like an escape key when tapped,
which caused a lot of accidental escapes.

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.

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.
