Various configuration whatnot.
- Vim uses standard vim key bindings. One of its strengths is its ubiquity, so no there's no cause to introduce non-standard muscle memory.
- Emacs includes evil-mode. Again: muscle memory.
- GNU screen uses standard key bindings for everything within a window (well, except for alt-\ as escape), but streamlined bindings for pretty much everything else.
General rules for custom bindings:
Linux/X11:
Win-[KEY] : Window manager modifier
Win+Alt-[KEY] : Window manager modifier
Win-[F_KEY] : Window manager function key modifier
Alt-[KEY] : Multiplexer modifier (GNU screen, tmux)
Alt-\ : Multiplexer escape
Ctl-[KEY] : Application modifier
OSX:
Cmd-[KEY] : Window manager modifier
Cmd+Opt-[KEY] : Window manager modifier
[F_KEY] : Window manager function key modifier (i.e., no modifier)
Opt-[KEY] : Multiplexer modifier (GNU screen, tmux)
Opt-\ : Multiplexer escape
Ctl-[KEY] : Application modifier
Specific bindings:
Window manager:
Win-[ARROW] : Next/prev workspace
Win-Esc : Show all windows
Win-Esc : Show workspace windows
Win-` : Show application windows
Win-[NUM] : Switch to workspace [NUM]
Win-Alt-[NUM] : Move window to workspace [NUM]
Multiplexer (GNU screen):
Alt-[ARROW] : Cycle windows
Application windows (Linux):
Alt-Tab : Cycle windows in workspace
Alt-Shift-Tab : Cycle windows in workspace (reverse)
Ctl-Tab : Cycle tabs in application window (also: Ctl-PgDn)
Ctl-Shift-Tab : Cycle tabs in application window (reverse) (also: Ctl-PgUp)
Application windows (OSX):
NOTE: OSX offer workspace window cycling (Prefs > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Move focus to active
or next windows) but in practice this can be flaky.
Cmd-Tab : Cycle applications globally
Cmd-Shift-Tab : Cycle applications globally (reverse)
Cmd-Opt-Tab : Cycle windows in workspace
Cmd-Opt-Shift-Tab : Cycle windows in workspace (reverse)
Opt-Tab : Cycle windows in application
Opt-Shift-Tab : Cycle windows in application (reverse)
Ctl-Tab : Cycle tabs in application window
Ctl-Shift-Tab : Cycle tabs in application window (reverse)
Cmd-=/- : Increase/decrease text size
Application launchers:
Win-F1 : Term
Win-F2 : Notepad/gedit/etc.
Win-F3 : Emacs client
Win-F4 : - none -
Win-F5 : Browser, primary profile
Win-F6 : Browser, secondary profile
Win-SPACE : Application launcher (quicksilver, etc.)
Audio:
Win-F9 : Pause/Resume
Win-F10 : Mute
Win-F11 : Volume down
Win-F12 : Volume up
(OSX: Just F10/F11/F12)
General application shortcuts:
Ctl-Space : Autocomplete word
Specific applications:
Emacs:
C-x C-=/- : Increase/decrease text size
Basics:
aliasescontains scripts which wrap calls to other scripts & executables.bincontains third-party executables. This is always a local directory, is assumed to be present, and is not created.scriptscontains custom scripts.$PLATFORMdirectories contain platform-specific files, where$PLATFORMis one ofosx, linux, freebsd.localdirectories are machine/installation-specific. By definition, they are ignored by this git repository.libdirectories contain files which may be sourced by other scripts, but are not sourced by default.
Order of precedence:
- Aliases override scripts which override third-party files (bin), except...
- Local/machine-specific files override platform-specific files.
- Platform-specific files override default files.
Full directory structure:
.edc.d/Xresources
/aliases
/bashrc.d
/$PLATFORM
/local
/emacs.d
/local
/local
/osx
/scripts
/$PLATFORM
/lib
/$PLATFORM
/local
/lib
/vim/
.Xresources.d@
.bashrc.d@
.emacs.d@
.vim@
aliases@
bin
scripts@
Directories which are sourced (highest precedence first):
bashrc.d/localbashrc.d/$PLATFORMbashrc.d
Directories which are added to PATH (highest precedence first):
aliases/localscripts/localbinaliases/$PLATFORMscripts/$PLATFORMaliasesscripts
File naming conventions:
- Scripts only have a suffix if their implementation matters (e.g.,
ansi-codes.shcontains variables to be sourced by bash scripts). This makes for cleaner names (IMO) and reduces the likelihood that other code will need to be rewritten if/when a script is rewritten. - The
.shsuffix is used interchangeably with.bashbecause life is too short for hand-wringing over that.
Manually install the absolute basics:
- Google chrome, because c'mon: https://www.google.com/chrome
- XQuartz: https://www.xquartz.org/
- Homebrew: http://brew.sh/
- Meld: https://yousseb.github.io/meld/
- Quicksilver: https://qsapp.com/download.php
Install various essentials:
brew update
brew install bash ##| Update to bash 4
brew install rxvt-unicode
brew install emacs --cocoa
brew install markdown
brew install git bash-completion
Set XQuartz to do default to urxvt:
defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 app_to_run $(which urxvt)
Various tweaks via the UI:
- Add urxvt to XQuartz Applications menu, mapped to command-M
- Set function keys to behave like... functions keys: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204436
- Map Caps Lock to Ctrl: System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier Key
iTerm2 is just rad: https://iterm2.com/downloads.html
Fix the keybindings so that OPT-ARROW will skip words & emacs will behave sanely:
- Go to
Preferences...>Profiles>Keys - Press
Load Preset... - Select
Natural Text Editing

Windows installation is refreshingly simple:
- Install babun: http://babun.github.io/
- Suffer.
Update: Suffer even more.
I must grudgingly admit that WSL does make things a fair bit better on Win 10.
