# Some Software I run
These are my configs that are most easily stealable. I have several more
configs in this repo that you are absolutely welcome to steal or look through,
but these are the most transferrable to other systems.

### Neovim
I love [neovim](https://neovim.io). I have two different neovim configurations,
(`nvim` and `nvim-vimscript`). `nvim` is a ~500 LOC lua monstrosity that works
wonderfully but is a bit of a pain to maintain. If you are new to neovim, I
would recommend borrowing more from `nvim-vimscript` which is a ~100 LOC
vimscript config that is much simpler and does 95% of what the other config
does.
I love [neovim](https://neovim.io), but it's a pain to configure. My config is
a ~570 LOC lua monstrosity that works wonderfully for me but is kind of
incomprehensible. If you are new to neovim, I would recommend checking out
projects like [lunarvim](https://www.lunarvim.org/) or
[nvchad](https://nvchad.com/), as they are much easier to set up, and probably
better suited for your use case than my config.
### Emacs

## Compositors
I'm on Wayland now, and use either [sway](https://swaywm.org/) or
[river](https://codeberg.org/river/river) depending on how I'm feeling, and
have configurations for both. I generally use
[waybar](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar) for sway and
[yambar](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar) for river for no particular reason.
All the other configs (swaylock, fuzzel, etc.) are compositor agnostic. Note,
in both my sway and river configs I swap meta and left-alt. That's just a habit
from starting on [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/), whose default mod key is
alt. You may want to change that.
I'm on Wayland now, and mostly use [river](https://codeberg.org/river/river),
though I do have a config for [sway](https://swaywm.org/) set up. To help keep
the configs separate, I use [waybar](https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar) for
sway and [yambar](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar) for river. All the other

on [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/), whose default mod key is alt. You may want
to change that, as it interferes pretty heavily in keybindings from other apps.
## Keyd
Since I use vim and emacs, I like to map caps lock to act as control when held
