Repository contains configuration files and instructions for various programs.

configs

terminal

Linux Mint

To configure default terminal just adjust Preferences manually.

But to get terminal running in fullscreen on startup, you need to edit /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Terminal.desktop and replace lines:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=gnome-terminal

[Desktop Action new-window]
Exec=gnome-terminal --window

with:

[Desktop Entry]
Exec=gnome-terminal --full-screen

[Desktop Action new-window]
Exec=gnome-terminal --full-screen

bash

Put these in your .bashrc to have some nice commands/aliases:

# useful aliases
alias c='clear'
alias ccat='pygmentize -g -O style=monokai'
alias tree='tree -CAhF --dirsfirst'
alias sc='screenkey --window -s small -g 550x1200 --bak-mode normal --mods-mode emacs --bg-color black --opacity 1 &'

# weather
weather() {
  curl -s "wttr.in/${1:-Warsaw}?F"
}

tmux

To automatically start in tmux put this at the end of your .bashrc file:

# Start in tmux automatically
[ -z "$TMUX"  ] && { tmux attach || exec tmux new-session; }

Copy the configuartion file to your home directory:

cp .tmux.conf ~/

Proper displaying of statusbar requires cut, df, head, rev, sed, tail and uptime commands to be available.

neovim

It may be worth to modify your keyboard repeat setting to shorten repeat delay and make repeat faster. You can also remap Caps Lock to be additional Esc.

Add these lines to ~/.bashrc:

# neovim
export PATH="$HOME/.nvim/nvim-linux64/bin/:$PATH"
alias vim='nvim'
alias vi='nvim'
alias svim='sudo $HOME/.nvim/nvim-linux64/bin/nvim'
alias svi='sudo $HOME/.nvim/nvim-linux64/bin/nvim'

Then install everything with:

cd nvim
./setup.sh

On the first run, support for languages will be installed, it may take a moment.

vscode

No longer used, so no more updates

Just copy contents of settings.json file to your settings.
