dotfiles

My dotfiles for ZSH, tmux and vim, influenced by many, particularly Greg Hurrell.

• Target platforms: macOS
• Setup method: shell script based on Mike McQuaid's, plays nice with strap.

Usage

1. Create an SSH key
2. Clone the repo git clone .... .dotfiles
3. Run script/setup after checkout. (Warning: setup will nuke the newly created SSH key)
4. Run brew bundle --file=.dotfiles/Brewfile

This will symlink everything in this directory to your home directory.

Features

Characteristics include:

• Sane Vim pasting via bracketed paste mode.
• Write access to local clipboard from local and remote hosts, inside and outside of tmux (via Clipper).
• Full mouse support (pane/split resizing, scrolling, text selection) in Vim and tmux.
• Focus/lost events for Vim inside tmux.
• Cursor shape toggles on entering Vim.
• Italics in the terminal.
• Conservative Vim configuration (very few overrides of core functionality; most changes are unobtrusive enhancements; some additional functionality exposed via <Leader> and <LocalLeader> mappings.
• Relatively restrained Zsh config

Prompt is a minimal fork of Pure.

Convenient Zsh features/functions include:

• Ctrl-t fzf file search
• ?? fzf + git
• ?? fasd
