dotfiles

To install on new machine:

git clone https://github.com/KelbyFaessler/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles
cd ~/.dotfiles
./install

Then, install other software with platform-specific install scripts e.g.

• fedora: ./install_fedora
• debian/ubuntu: ./install_debian

Neovim Config:

• FOR UPDATING NVIM VERSIONS, SEE nvim-basic-ide
• My neovim config used to be based on this repo (https://github.com/LunarVim/Neovim-from-scratch) which also has a corresponding youtube video series (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctH-a-1eUME&list=PLhoH5vyxr6Qq41NFL4GvhFp-WLd5xzIzZ)
• That neovim config then evolved into this repo (https://github.com/LunarVim/nvim-basic-ide) which is now the basis for my neovim config
• And that repo is now called launch.nvim (https://github.com/LunarVim/Launch.nvim)
• Customizations I've made to that:
  • Add hop plugin
  • Add telescope media files plugin
  • Use floaterm with lazygit instead of toggleterm
  • Remove friendly snippets plugin
  • Remove indent-blankline plugin (visually highlight indentation level)
• TODO: Things I may want to add later:
  • customize lualine (add filepath)
  • try leap plugin (which may not conflict with existing hop keymaps since it uses 's' which I don't use normally)
  • show prior projects by default on start page
  • add keybind for :Telescope projects
  • fzf implmentation in c (faster): https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope-fzf-native.nvim
  • treesitter customization in kickstart.nvim
  • try some custom start page themes from goolord/alpha-nvim#16

Poetry setup on linux:

• Have installed poetry previously using they're official install script via curl. Pipx is an alternative to try and see if it handles pyenv better.
• I like to configure poetry to install dependencies in a venv in each project locally. To configure this:
  • ll ~/.config/pypoetry this probably won't exist initially
  • poetry config --list (virtualenvs.in-project probably false)
  • poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
  • poetry config --list (virtualenvs.in-project should be true)

Reasons I picked fnm for node version manager:

• It's faster than nvm (2x to 40x) and nvm is bash based/a bash alias
• It's written in rust, hence speed but also correctness
• It tries to provide same features as nvm
• It's a binary exec so can easily run in CI systems
• Cross platform (windows too) and integrates with other shells (e.g. fish)
• fnm supports more platforms than n
• fnm supports .nvmrc and .node-version files while volta currently doesn't
• volta seems to try to do more than simply node version and is more complicated than fnm
• Potential replacement for fnm in future: pnpm

Additional Fedora manual setup:

• Go into display settings and turn on night light for blue light filter
• The fedora install script sets up imwheel for faster mouse scrolling. That was based on this link: http://www.webupd8.org/2015/12/how-to-change-mouse-scroll-wheel-speed.html
• Settings->Multitasking->Hot Corner->disable
• Settings->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts->Switch Windows->Alt + Tab
• Settings->Keyboard->View and Customize Shortcuts->Switch Applications->Super + Tab
• To install postman: Software App->Postman (install flatpak version, which is easiest/most native of postman's offered installation methods)
• To enable fractional scaling: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']
• To enable tap-to-click on touchpad: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click true
• For intel 12th gen CPU, to remove conflict with ambient light sensor and enable backlight brightness buttons: sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="module_blacklist=hid_sensor_hub"

NOTES:

• In windows, for the Powerlevel10k zsh theme, you'll have to manually install Meslo Nerd Font (see https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k)
• In fedora, the above font also needs to be installed for gnome terminal to use my nvim icons. This font will be installed automatically in ~/.local/share/fonts by the install script
