Dotfiles
My personal dotfiles for Sway/River on Arch Linux. They are designed to be used with https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/][gnu stow. Each directory is a kind of 'module' that can be individually symlinked.
You are welcome to do whatever you would like with these configs (they are
licensed under the 0 clause BSD license); be inspired by them, copy them,
whatever, no attribution necessary. I would encourage you to fork this repo,
then use stow to install whatever modules you would like, changing whatever
you want as you go. For example, if you want to steal my neovim configuration,
you could run stow nvim, assuming this repo is located in your home
directory.
Some Software I run
Shell
I use https://fishshell.com/][fish together with https://starship.rs][starship. It's basic, but gets the job done.
Editors
Neovim
I love https://neovim.io][neovim. 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.
Emacs
I love https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][emacs as well. My configuration
is a literate org file that gets tangled into init.el. As far as Emacs
configurations go, it's pretty clean, but still is a several hundred line mess.
Compositors
I'm on Wayland now, and use either https://swaywm.org/][sway or https://codeberg.org/river/river][river depending on how I'm feeling, and have configurations for both. I generally use https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar][waybar for sway and https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar][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 https://dwm.suckless.org/][dwm, whose default mod key is alt. You may want to change that.
Keyd
Since I use vim and emacs, I like to map caps lock to act as control when held
and escape when tapped. I use a simple https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd][keyd
config for this. However, note that keyd/default.conf should be copied to
/etc/keyd/ and the keyd service should be enabled and started. If keyd
isn't in your distro's repos, it is very easy to build and install from source.
Otherwise, https://gitlab.com/interception/linux/plugins/caps2esc][caps2esc
probably is and is likewise pretty simple to get set up.
