Some files and code snippets here are very important for my use cases. I have documented some snippets that one may find interesting.
IMPORTANT
Dotfiles are configuration files in Unix-like systems, typically found in a user’s home directory and starting with a dot (e.g., .bashrc). They store settings and customizations for various applications and tools.
WARNING
Some of the snippets depend on other programs and will only work when they are properly configured. User descretion is advised while copy-pasting. However if the words used in the following list makes sense to you then feel free to copy paste as you like.
Setup
I primarily use arch linux with NO desktop environment. My setup consists of the following:
- polybar as a status bar
- rofi as a window switcher
- bspwm as a tiling window manager
- sxhkd as a hotkey daemon
NOTE
Please have a look at my dotfiles for more things like nvim, starship and alacritty setup
Over the years I have scoured the internet for fixing my dotfiles and here I document the most interesting / useful cases.
- How to spawn a terminal as scratchpad
- Display a sxhkd help menu whenever you forget any commands
- Get windows like clipboard
- Enable alt-tab window switching with rofi
