About

This repository contains files for configuring my Terminal environment and other various linux settings. See Github does dotfiles for more info

What does it look like

Is there a cool thing that I can use ?

While my dotfiles are optimised for my workflow, you can maybe find something interesting in it.

Snippy

Snippy is enhanced version of the snippy snippet utility. I use it everyday with more than 600 snippets.

Here some enhancements that I made:

• keep current clipboard after pasting the snippet
• {clipboard} placeholder to use current clipboard in snippet

CREATE DATABASE \`{clipboard}\` CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

• {cursor} placeholder to place the cursor
  • go left to the correct position for cli and gui paste

  <pre>{cursor}</pre>
  

  • go up for block snippet for gui paste

  <pre>
    {cursor}
  </pre>
  

• ##noparse header in snippet to not parse
• directly execute command begining by $
• execute bash script in $snippets_directory/scripts
• copy script content when selection is selected by CTRL+Return, exemple:
  • with the following snippet: $(date +%Y-%m-%d-%Hh%Mm%S)
  • using Return will paste the current date
  • using CTRL+Return will paste the command directly
• icons ! Icon name is set from first dir name. If you have the following snippets, the terminal icon will be displayed in rofi:

    terminal/
    ├── other
    │   └── date
    └── script
        └── test

Mprisctl

Mprisctl is wrapper around playerctl. By default, it shows the status, artist and track title of the last detected player.

• default: shows the status, artist and track title of the last detected player

$ mprisctl 
Playing
ARTE Concert
Kompromat @ La Cigale (Full Show HiRes) – ARTE Concert

• Support action from playerctl and apply them to the current playing player or the last active player:
  • play
  • pause
  • play-pause
  • stop
  • next
  • previous

Chrome history

Chrome history is a basic shell script that output your chrome browser history. It's made to work with rofi.

You can use it in rofi to open a link Exemple:

rofi -combi-modi "chrome:chrome_history,window,drun" -show combi -modi combi -lines 25  -display-combi '> '

Change theme

I need a light theme to work during the day with the sun light, and a dark theme to geek at night. So I made a quick script to handle the switch: change_theme.

A perfect fit for the ThinkVantage button.

Detect screen

Detect_screen, a script to automate screen configuration when you plug a new screen.

Give me hostname

When you need a list of your server to ssh to: Give me hostname. Combine it with fzf to autocomplete the ssh/scp/rsync commands.

Light bar

Light bar is a minimal script to change screen brightness and display a simple bar. Good to include in awesomewm or any other wm.

Volume bar

Volume bar is a minimal script to change volume and display a simple bar. Good to include in awesomewm or any other wm.

Ssh connect

Ssh connect is a script that:

• check if the server exists
• autocomplete from my server list
• sync my server dotfiles
• connect to my tmux session or create a new one

Open sftp

Open sftp is a script that:

• get the active window
• check if it's a terminal
• grab the title (user@server:path)
• open your filemanager to that remote server (sftp://user@server/path)
