My .dotfiles backup for Arch setup.

Requirements listed in pkglist.txt

Interesting features

• Some of wm's binds improved by lua script. Lua has more flexibility than i3config syntax. It is a good practice to automatically switch to the appropriate workspace after opening programs using a keyboard shortcut.

• Alt + f open a file manager in that directory what was found in clipboard. For example, if you copied a file from some program, you can open it's directory just by pressing this shortcut.

• Super + ` open ssh servers menu to connect.

• Super + \ open fuzzy finder to search for local text files in the home directory to edit in NeoVim.

• Automatic tiling via autotiling script. Split direction depends on the currently focused window dimensions.

• Automatic tiling freed up Super + H shortcut. So i'm using HJKL to navigate inside WM.

• UI scale options depends on current display setup and autorandr profile name.

• Mouse side buttons bound to copy and paste in graphics applications. Although I try to use the mouse less, it's useful for (web)apps with mouse-centric UI.

• CapsLock is changed to Backspace.

• Nice aliases: i to install package, dp to push dotfiles into this repo, v to open nvim.
