From c28de7d0cab86d8584377e33ceaa6b039ee16cf5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kévin Le Gouguec Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2018 20:22:25 +0200 Subject: Add notes on my laptop setup Sneak-remove my itch to disable auto-fill for Markdown titles, since I'm not sure any mode ever does things like that. While this does not mean that it could not be done, it does make the endeavor somewhat non-idiomatic. --- personal/itches.md | 2 +- personal/setup/bunsenlabs.md | 52 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ personal/setup/dotfiles.md | 22 +++++++++++++++ personal/setup/fonts.md | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ personal/setup/package-management.md | 42 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 166 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 personal/setup/bunsenlabs.md create mode 100644 personal/setup/dotfiles.md create mode 100644 personal/setup/fonts.md create mode 100644 personal/setup/package-management.md (limited to 'personal') diff --git a/personal/itches.md b/personal/itches.md index 821f7e4..b64a2a5 100644 --- a/personal/itches.md +++ b/personal/itches.md @@ -100,10 +100,10 @@ Full disclosure ### markdown-mode - support [shortcut reference links] -- disable auto-filling for titles - move point past header after C-c C-t !/@ - update sub-superscript regex to allow L~i+1~ - make justification work with indented blockquotes +- add "ini ↦ conf-mode" to markdown-code-lang-modes [shortcut reference links]: http://spec.commonmark.org/0.27/#shortcut-reference-link diff --git a/personal/setup/bunsenlabs.md b/personal/setup/bunsenlabs.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..7ba8c67 --- /dev/null +++ b/personal/setup/bunsenlabs.md @@ -0,0 +1,52 @@ +Things I always tweak after installing a Bunsenlabs system. + +# Keyboard + +Cf. keyboard(5): + +- add `ctrl:nocaps` in /etc/default/keyboard +- run `udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change` +- run `setupcon` in a TTY + +# Desktop + +## Conky + +- changed window type to "desktop" so that W-d does not hide Conky +- see dotfiles + +## ClipIt + +- disable hotkeys + +## Openbox + +### `rc.xml` + +- comment A-m and A-r out +- undecorate all windows: + + ``` xml + + no + +``` + +### WM preferences + +- appearance: uncheck "windows retain a border when undecorated" +- desktops: 4 + +## tint2 + +- remove launcher +- add date (time2) + +## Calendar + +Make weeks begin on Monday by using the British locale: + +- uncomment `en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8` in /etc/locale.gen +- `sudo locale-gen` +- `force_lang = en_GB.utf8` in `~/.config/gsimplecal/config` + diff --git a/personal/setup/dotfiles.md b/personal/setup/dotfiles.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c51f4cb --- /dev/null +++ b/personal/setup/dotfiles.md @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +Some day all of these will live in my dotfiles repository. + +Until then… + +# `~/.bash_aliases` + +``` bash +# Make Bash expand aliases before running sudo. +alias sudo='sudo ' +``` + +# `.gitconfig` + +``` ini +[user] + name = … + email = … +[alias] + root = rev-parse --show-toplevel + forget = update-index --assume-unchanged + remember = update-index --no-assume-unchanged +``` diff --git a/personal/setup/fonts.md b/personal/setup/fonts.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..30e7739 --- /dev/null +++ b/personal/setup/fonts.md @@ -0,0 +1,49 @@ +Fonts I find useful, plus messy configuration details. + +# Symbola + +Symbola seems to cover most characters I care about (although it does +not handle fancy emoji ligatures), and new versions are released +fairly soon after each revision of the Unicode standard. + +Since distributions may not include the latest version, I often get it +directly from [the author's website](http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/). + +# Installing fonts with Fontconfig + +Gee, it sure is convenient to be able to install new fonts simply by +dropping them in `~/.fonts` and running `fc-cache`! + +`/etc/fonts/fonts.conf`: + + + ~/.fonts + +😨 + +Bunsenlabs symlinks `~/.fonts` to `~/.local/share/fonts`, but this +path is not mentioned anywhere in `/etc/fonts`.
