As such, I've tried to document the **reason** I install everything, instead of simply what I installed. This should give you a basis to cherry-pick the features you want, and leave the rest that you don't need.\n\n## What's Included?\n\nA quick list of all the configurations that are in this repo, and why I chose the tools I did:\n\n### Karabiner Elements\n\nA powerful keyboard remapping tool that allows me to remap keys on my keyboard to make it more comfortable to use.\n\nWhat's Remapped:\n- The Caps Lock key has been rebound to the `Hyper` key, which is essentially all the modifiers combined, serving as an additional modifier key.\n- The `Hyper` key, when used with `P`, `N`, `W`, and `A` have been remapped to Control, to suit use with `nvim` and `tmux` \n\n### Kitty Terminal\n\nWhy Kitty?\n- It's the fastest [terminal emulator out there](https://thume.ca/2020/05/20/making-a-latency-tester/), hardware-tested with a keyboard-to-photon latency sensor\n- It's has a ton of [modern terminal features like ligatures, emojis, graphics, and more](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/)\n- It's [completely customizable](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/overview/#configuring-kitty)\n\n### ZSH Shell\n\nI mainly chose ZSH because it's more customizable than Bash, and it's also the [default shell for macOS now](https://support.apple.com/lt-lt/guide/terminal/trml113/mac).\n\nI have decided to opt-out of a package manager, mainly because of my small amount of plugins, and the speed bonus that comes with not having a package manager.\n\nThis config loads in *under a quarter of a second* on my M1 MacBook Air.\n\nHere's what I have installed:\n- **Powerlevel10k Prompt**: Enables transient prompt, to reduce clutter\n- **Pure Theme**: A super clean theme that displays only the necessary info\n- **ZSH Syntax Highlight**: Shows syntax errors before I run the command\n- **Zoxide**: Making directory navigation faster and easier\n\n### Neovim\n\nThis Neovim configuration is completely custom-built, on the `Lazy` plugin manager.\n\nThere's a ton of things in there, so check out the `.config/nvim/README.md` for more info.\n\n## Installation \n\n\u003e More comprehensive installation instructions coming soon!\n\nTo install these dotfiles, simply clone the repo, and run `stow .`.\n\nAs I have explained in the start, I still strongly recommend cherry-picking features that you like! It's always more beneficial to build the config yourself, rather than copying it completely from someone else. \n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevanzhoudev%2Fdotfiles","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fevanzhoudev%2Fdotfiles","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevanzhoudev%2Fdotfiles/lists"}
