Neidhardt ## Overview -This repository contains scripts and configuration files for various Unix -programs. I tried hard to maintain universality: it should work anywhere (Arch -Linux, FreeBSD...), with whichever version of the programs. In the worst case, -only few modifications will be necessary. +I use of Emacs for almost everything, including my window manager (EXWM). See +my [Emacs pro-tips](http://ambrevar.bitbucket.io/emacs/). -Most interesting parts include advanced configuration for Awesome, Emacs, fish, -Mutt, ranger, and some scripts. +As such, the more-or-less advanced configurations of my former favourite Unix +programs are gone (Awesome, cmus, fish, fzf, Mutt, newsbeuter, ranger, urxvt, +zathura, zsh). You can search for them before the git commit `README: The Big +Emacs Shift`. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -## Description -### Awesome -* Extra deps: Vicious (Linux only) - -Configuration is very close to the default one with some features removed -(bindings, mouse control, context menu). The main new feature is the status bar: -dynamic network speed (it checks for different interfaces), CPU speed, a battery -indicator that will not show up if no battery is detected, and sound volume. The -implementation is straightforward since I am using the Vicious plugin. - -This configuration is very version-sensitive, so make sure to use the latest -build. - -### Emacs - -See my [Emacs pro-tips](http://ambrevar.bitbucket.io/emacs/). - -### fish & fzf - -fish's default configuration satisfies most of my need. I make intense use of -`fzf` with custom functions and bindings, such as `fzf-select` and -`fzf-complete`. - -A few wrappers: - -- man: color and justify to window width. - -- cd: keeps a bigger history and suppress duplicates. fish starts at last -visited location. - -I also have a `fzf-cdhist-widget` to go back to any location in just blink. - -fzf can display a preview. I use a `preview` wrapper script over ranger's -`scope.sh`. Extra deps: antiword, atool, highlight, img2txt, mediainfo, odt2txt, -pdftotext, unrtf, w3m. - -### Mutt - -* Compile options: IMAP and SMTP support, sidebar. -* Extra deps: antiword, ccrypt, fortune, sxiv, w3m. - -Support for multiple accounts with encrypted passwords. (Mutt will prompt for -the master password only once.) I use ccrypt for password management because it -is much simpler than gnupg. - -I use embedded IMAP and SMTP services which need appropriate compilation -options. Embedded IMAP does not need to store e-mails locally. To speed-up -e-mail queries, I cache them on disk. When the disk usage limit is reached, the -older cached e-mails are erased until the cache shrinks below the limit again. - -Some customization: custom index view, good Emacs integration (see `.emacs.d`), -custom theme (matches Emacs colors), various tweaks. - -For universal terminal support, the `colorset.sh` script will check terminal -capabilities and load colors appropriately. - -URxvt has an URL support that works also from Mutt. For other terminals, you -might consider using the `urlview` plugin for Mutt. - -### Scripts - -Probably the most interesting part here. +I've also written a fair amount of scripts, most of which are POSIX.
