dotfiles's Issues

Window manager ideas

• Focus most recently used
• Hide windows similar to Vim buffers

Focus most recently used

This is great when developing as you can easy switch between the two windows you are using

Hide windows similar to Vim buffers

Just like in Vim, were you can open a bunch of different files in buffers (and search between the buffers). Would be great if it is possible in the window manager to hide windows and search between them (with the exact same mechanics as in Vim and thus replacing your currently focused window and placing it in a buffer). Now I am just placing the window in a different workspace (using i3) and then use rofi to search between windows using their titles.

Try out cursorline with lower opacity

Table of contents generator for filetypes

Basically I want to extend gO to other filetypes than just help and :Man buffers.

Neovim source of how its implemented.

Maybe I can write this in Lua and show gO results in a location list.

vi-mode in :terminal in Nvim

Just wanted to list this here: neovim/neovim#8805

Modifying the terminal buffer is not possible, also not with something like:

augroup Terminal
    au!
    au TermEnter * setlocal modifiable
augroup END

Sadly, this makes impossible to use terminal vi-mode like shortcuts to edit commands. Instead I will have to stick to using the terminal's emacs bindings, such as <C-w>.

Vim plugin CtrlP to respect .gitignore files

Either the .gitignore file in the directory in which vim is opened, or if vim is opened in a subdirectory it should search for the project level .gitignore

Smart `%` on keywords like `matchit` but with `treesitter`

For example jumping between if, elif and else using %. But in a smart way so that it doesn't jump to nested occurrences of another if

Similar to https://github.com/andymass/vim-matchup using the treesitter-integration, just only stripping out the % jumping.

Persist display mirroring between laptop and external screen

It should be able to handle it dynamically, since the screen might change in different setups.

xrandr --output DP-3 --same-as eDP-1

ag issue: negating patterns with '!' in .gitignore after using '*'

Example .gitignore

# Ignore everything
*

# Except
!vim/

Now running ag "text" . will not search the vim/ directory. In certain situations it is fine running ag -U "text" instead.

See: ggreer/the_silver_searcher#168

Move to neovim

See: https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim.html#nvim-from-vim

Manage $PATH better

I have the feeling that I am not managing my $PATH all that well.

Maybe this helps to better understand environment variable in general: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/environment_variables

Programming languages version manager

https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf for multiple programming languages.

VIM: ability to use `%` on `"` similar to using it on `(`

I think I would like that.

Similar to `vim-indent-object` but smart with `treesitter`

Great to select everything within a function or an entire if, else block. Even adding own mappings for this.

Ability to preview items from the quickfix list

Idea is that you can toggle a preview window (or floating window whatever) for the currently selected item in the quickfix list. Of course using its lines so that it is clear what the surrounded code is of the match.

Existing plugins

dmenu closes on keypress

I use Ubuntu 20.10

Bug was fixed in: https://git.suckless.org/dmenu/commit/db6093f6ec1bb884f7540f2512935b5254750b30.html

However, with Ubuntu's slow release schedule there is no upgrade path yet. Instead to solve the bug you need to downgrade from 45-1 to 44-1:

1. Get https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/groovy/amd64/suckless-tools/44-1
2. Install using the regular sudo apt install <path-to-deb>

Ack vim plugin: go to next search result

Instead of having to go via the quickfix window, it would be much better to have a mapping that does this.

Look into new dotfiles structure

Currently I have spread the configuration over different git repositories:

• .config
• .local/bin

And there is potential for:

• .opt to contain some git submodules

Things to consider:

• Bare git repository. Although I am not sure what the setup script would look like in this case, since the new setup should easily be able to add things to the repo.
• Somewhat error prone as I don't want to accidentally have my entire home folder under git.

Vimium config

Add the following to the "Custom key mappings":

# Tabs have their own stack (so up and down) of history
map J goBack
map K goForward
map H previousTab
map L nextTab

Set up bluetooth devices

Ideas:

• Write a terminal CLI/GUI in Rust
• Find an application that allows for easy setup

Currently, in my i3 setup I struggle to use my bluetooth mouse and login to the regular Ubuntu so I can use the plain and easy settings.

Move away from GDrive

I no longer want to be depended on external service providers to store my files.

Current ideas include:

• Regular backups to external SSD
• Host my own instance (have to look into security and persistence here)

Cleaner LSP support

Have a look at Neovim options for native LSP support.

Came across:

• https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim (and helpful YT video: Neovim - Setting Up VSCode Intellisense with CoC [LSP])

Currently, I have to set up an LSP for every Python project I work on which ale then auto detects (given a certain project structure).

Lenovo ThinkPad 40AF docking station

"In that case the DisplayPort/HDMI of the dock use DisplayLink and thus likely need an additional driver."

Alias wrapping shell script

I ran into another cool project: https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh and would like to do something like:

# What I don't want
curl cheat.sh/zip

# What I do want
cheat zip

Another screencast from Greg Hurrell that can be useful: Customizing commands with shell functions

Familiarize with `feh`, `bat` and `fd`

I added them quickly to my dotfiles as the projects seemed very interesting. I should look into them more so they become part of my regular workflow.

Set up general crontabs

Dunst: https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst

I can immediately combine this with setting up pretty notifications that run on a cron schedule:

* * * * 1 DISPLAY=:0 notify-send "hello world"

For my installation script repo I can create a file containing crontabs and run crontab <file-name> to import them to the current user.

Nvim plugins to check out

(Nvim 0.5.0 release yeeej!)

  • https://github.com/folke/todo-comments.nvim as an example of how you can use treesitter
• https://github.com/mjlbach/defaults.nvim/blob/master/init.lua
  • In particular the https://github.com/lewis6991/gitsigns.nvim and treesitter
  • https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-textobjects !! 100%
• https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim

Also have a look at #7

Maintain clipboard when closing application

For example:

1. Open Brave
2. Select and copy the URL
3. Close Brave
4. Wanting to paste the URL but the URL is no longer in the clipboard
5. (Needing to restart Brave, check history and get the URL again...)

Look into easymotion

https://github.com/easymotion/vim-easymotion

Ideally like the . command I also want repeatable motions.

zsh widgets

Have a look at:

• http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Line-Editor.html
• https://github.com/ytet5uy4/fzf-widgets/tree/master/autoload/widgets
• https://gist.github.com/YumaInaura/e53cd4e128b5625caac1f28dad74ba94

Add scripts section to cutter-py project

Idea:

• https://medium.com/octopus-wealth/python-scripts-26e3d0bd5277
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59286983/how-to-run-a-script-using-pyproject-toml-settings-and-poetry
• python-poetry/poetry-core#40

For example, in pyproject.toml of https://github.com/yannickperrenet/cutter-py:

[tool.poetry.scripts]
format = "scripts:format"
lint = "scripts:lint"

Fix nvim LSP `gr`

Not sure why, but no references are shown.

EDIT: Actually they are, but it takes almost a minute. Could be because no specific venv was setup for the project.

Selection/Copy mode in terminal

I want something like: https://github.com/thestinger/termite#selection-mode which does not seem to be supported in gnome-terminal (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/-/issues/79)

Look into my Node setup

In particular look at nvm

Make the dotfiles portable between macOS and GNU/Linux

The dotfiles work on both systems just not to their full entirety. For example i3 would not work on macOS, however, it should not throw an error because it is never invoked.

rofi show listview row index

See: davatorium/rofi#1050. Which was added in release 1.6.0.

Fix nautilus pop-up scaling on download

Probably has to do with the rescaling of the dpi in .Xresources.

Currently, I cannot select where to download my files. Either I fix the nautilus scaling or I can set up an alternative application (maybe even ranger) to choose the directory in which I want to save the downloaded file.

Come up with new ideas

Some YouTube channels I came across to look into:

• https://www.youtube.com/c/GregHurrell
• https://www.youtube.com/user/gotbletu

Create standard project structure for Python

Tool to use:

• https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter

What it should do:

• Create pyrightconfig.json so my Vim lsp support works
• pyproject.toml. And so I should look into pypoetry as well
• some more...
