Dotfiles

My dotfiles for various programs that I use.

Enable Natural Scrolling and Tap to Click

Use xinput list to find the id of the touchpad device

xinput set-prop <id> "libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled" 1

xinput set-prop <id> "libinput Tapping Enabled" 1

Cinnamon Configuration

To use MaskedSyntax theme for cinnamon desktop (dark black panel with 70% transparency), move the folder /cinnamon-theme/MaskedSyntax to /usr/share/themes/ and select the theme from the settings app.

Vim Config

To Copy/Paste text from vim to other applications:

• Install the following to use clipboard with vim
  • For Debian based distros: Install vim-gtk3
  • For Fedora : Install vim-gtk3
  • For Arch Linux : Install gvim (this will enable +clipboard for normal vim as well)
• Once the above is installed, add set clipboard=unnamedplus to your vimrc

Optional

I have configured my vim to use only two spaces for indentation instead of four for python. This can be done by adding these lines to your vimrc:
let g:python_recommended_style = 0
let g:loaded_matchparen=1
filetype plugin indent on

To enable os-prober for Arch Linux:

• Install os-prober (if not installed)
• Try: sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
• Open /etc/default/grub with vim: sudo vim /etc/default/grub
• Check: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER and set it to false
• Try again: sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

To fix the Postman Certificate issue:

• Manually create the certificates in ~/.var/app/com.getpostman.Postman/config/Postman/proxy:

    openssl req -subj '/C=US/CN=Postman Proxy' -new -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -days 365 -nodes -x509 -keyout postman-proxy-ca.key -out postman-proxy-ca.crt
