Inkletblot's Dotfiles

My Dotfiles, managed using (what I call) the atlassian method.

Primarily the configs I care about in here are for the following programs.

• neovim
• xmonad
• Xmobar
• lf
• tmux
• zsh
• dwmblocks
• dwm
• system stuff such as xinitrc, shell, xprofile, and more.

Supporting programs include:

• alacritty
• dmenu
• picom
• dunst
• fish (I no longer use this)
• mutt (this either)
• newsboat (or this)

I have been building up this envirnoment for some time and it is likely to change much in the future.

Related works

I have a few repositories that pair with this one, primarily are both my scripts repo and my dmenu fork. I use dmenu as my run launcher and I have myriad bash scripts to make my linux experience my own. I also dabble with DWM and it's related programs such as st, dwmblocks, and others.

• Scripts
• dmenu

Tangentially to all this I have a WIP repo I call ink-os which will set up a fresh install of Arch with all of my default programs, my dotfiles, and other misc configs. It doesn't technically 'work' but it's still easier that a manual setup for me.

Credit

Although I will happily take credit for what I have built here I would like to credit those who inspired me, or who I pilfered directly from:

• Luke Smith for many scripts, mutt, introducing me to vim, and much of my shell config.
• DistroTube (Derek Taylor) for introducing me to tiling window managers and reigniting my love for linux, also much of my xmonad, xmobar, fish, and alacritty configs were inspired by his.
• ThePrimeagen for improving my developer workflow, introducing me to tmux (and being a source for my tmux scripts), and being generally a great guy.
• chris@machine (Christian Chiarulli), I credit 90% of my neovim config to this man and it's great.
• And others such as TJ DeVries, Eric Murphy, EF Linux Made Simple, and more.

Neovim (nightly)

Probably the most complicated part of this is my nvim config, I should probably move it to its own repo at some point.

It depends on a few different language servers and miscellaneous programs. Including but not limited to:

• pyright
• npm/nodejs
• omnisharp-roslyn (and by proxy, dotnet)
• prettier
• ts-server
• eslint
• pandoc
• miktex
• git
• and more...

See more about it here (currently a wip).

xmonad

I was introduced to this by DistroTube and it was the first tiling window manager I tried. My config started out as a direct copy of his but has morphed somewhat since then. I really like xmonad and have made myself at home within in it. Although currently I am giving dwm a solid try.

xmobar

xmobar obviously goes hand in hand with xmonad. It took me quite some time to get the config for this to a place where I was happy with it but I now am. Again, initially this was based entirely on Dt's videos.

lf

I used to use Thunar as my file manager and still do for a couple of use cases, usually when inspecting large quantities of media where thumbnails are useful. However, after coming across Luke Smith's and Eric Murphy's videos on lf I tried it and fell in love. I open a gui file manager a couple of times a month at this point.

tmux

WIP.

zsh, shell, and x11

WIP.

system

I have misc other configs here too such as Thunar, alacritty, picom, rofi, dunst, fish, and more. I sometimes switch up what I'm using on my machine so I like to keep old things around for the future.

extras

There are some things that I would include in my config that don't really suit being here. Specifically the following:

• My dwm config.
• My dwmblocks config.
• My dmenu config.
• My st config.
