Welcome ~/

This repository contains my personal Linux dotfiles.
They are often (speak: all the time) a work in progress and may or may not work for you.

Dependencies

The list of used packages can be found in packages.txt and packages_AUR.txt.
To install them, use:

pacman -S --needed - < packages.txt
yay -S --needed - < packages_AUR.txt

The configs for awesome, picom, and kitty are outdated, if you want to use them, make sure to install these packages as well.

pacman -S awesome kitty rofi slock flameshot
yay -S picom-git

Installation

Clone the repo into your home directory.

git clone https://github.com/sihensel/dotfiles.git

There is no wallpaper included, the window manager looks for ~/wallpapers/wall.jpg.
This can be configured in theme.lua for awesome or process.sh for river.

Install Script

The script install.sh places symlinks to the local repo, so all files can stay in one place.
You might want to ignore that, this is just for my personal setup.

./install.sh   # or
./install.sh -p /path/to/dotfiles/

Note: I use the xdg-user-dirs package to get rid of most of the standard XDG directories. See the user-dirs.dirs file for details.

Configure Neovim Plugins

The keybinds are listed in init.lua.
Plugins are managed via Lazy.nvim. The Plugin manager installs itself and all plugins automatically.
LSP clients are also installed automatically via Mason.

The following packages are exteneral dependencies, install them with your package manager:

fd ripgrep fzf jq tree-sitter tree-sitter-cli

Also install the Python provider for Neovim.

pip install neovim

Firefox userChrome.css

This theme is heavily based on Dook97's config with a few additions. It is intended to use with the tridactyl extension (Install the firefox-tridactyl package for Arch, and restart Firefox twice).
When using Librewolf (or any other Firefox fork I guess), install the tridactyl extension from their Github repo.

Go to about:config:

1. Set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true
2. Set browser.compactmode.show to true
3. Also set extensions.pocket.enabled to false while we're at it
4. For my setup:
   1. browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to true
   2. browser.bookmarks.openInTabClosesMenu to false
   3. browser.translations.automaticallyPopup to false
   4. browser.translations.enable to false
   5. browser.translations.panelShown to false

Go to the Customize Toolbar menu (under More Tools) and set density to compact.
Enable a dark theme in the settings, I use this Gruvbox theme.
Copy the chrome directory to the root directory of your Firefox profile. Check about:profiles for the path to your profile.

The custom folder icon for the bookmarks toolbar is from icons8.com.
