dotfiles

These are my dotfiles. It is collection of scripts, almost all of which were written by people other than myself. Originally a fork of mathiasbynens/dotfiles, it's a little different now. It's still rsync-based but bootstrapping is done via install.sh which rsyncs then runs through the install.d directory, installing various tools. Also, ~/.zshrc sources files in ~/.shell.d.

Installation: MacOS

These are notes specific to me but perhaps are of use for anyone.

1. Install git (from Xcode). (It will be upgraded later via install.sh.)
2. Install brew.
3. Clone dotfiles.
4. Install iTerm2.
5. Install source code pro font from Google.
6. Remap caps lock key to control.
7. Set up pre-commit hook to check for no-no strings before commits:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail

fatal() { printf "%s\n" "$*" >&2; exit 1; }

search() {
	local s=${1?"search string is required"}
	if rg -i $s; then
		fatal "One or more files contain string \"$s\""
	fi
}

search s1
search s2

iTerm2 Profile

All of the following can be imported from the .iterm directory but are additionally documented here.

Keys

The following key mappings convert MacOS-style keys to emacs keys (which are in turn configured with zsh's bindkey builtin).

MacOS Keys	Behavior	emacs Keys	iTerm	Extra Steps
⌘z	Undo	^_	Send Hex Codes: 0x1f
⇧⌘Z	Redo	^X^_	Send Hex Codes: 0x18 0x1f	bindkey "^X^_" redo
⌘←Delete	Delete to beginning of line	^X DEL	Send Hex Codes: 0x18 0x7f	bindkey "^X\\x7f" backward-kill-line
⌘fn←Delete or ⌘Delete→	Delete to end of line	^K	Send Hex Codes: 0x0b
⌥←Delete	Delete word left	?	Send Hex Codes: 0x1b 0x08
⌥fn←Delete or ⌥Delete→	Delete word right	?	Send Hex Codes: 0x01b 0x64
