Dotfiles

These are dotfiles for my Arch Linux / bspwm setup. Also included are scripts and configurations for other daily-driver tools.

Demo of scratchpad pane in bspwm running tmux inside a zutty terminal; scratchpad toggle is bound toCtrl-/, Ctrl-Alt-/ cycles through different panel sizes. Check out scratchy.sh to see how this works.

• ZSH is my default shell everywhere. Few simple tips and tricks:

  • Use zcompile -M to compile your zsh scripts to .zwc bytecode files. This can speed up stuff which seldom need updates, such as zshrc, other zsh configuration and plugin scripts.
  • Put this little snippet in your zshrc for easier directory navigation using .. and ...

     # .. is like an alias for cd, e.g ".. some_directory"
     # standalone .. moves up one level i.e. cd ..
      ..() {
        [[ -z "$1" ]] && cd ../ || cd "$1"
      }
    
     # ... number moves up that many levels
     # e.g: if you're in /usr/local/bin/abc and type ... 3, you'll move up 3 levels and land in /usr
     # ... without any arguments works like "cd -", i.e. goes to previous working directory
     ...() {
        [[ -z "$1" ]] && cd - || cd $(repeat ${1} printf '../')
     }

• rxvt-unicode in daemon mode (urxvtd) was my terminal for a long time. These days I use the excellent Zutty terminal. Xresources configuration for both are located here.

• My nvim dotfiles include sysinit.vim, custom colors and a few plugins.

• w3m configuration, keymaps and CGI scripts are here.

• MSYS2 dotfiles can be found in a separate repo here.
