## prereqs
[iTerm][iterm2]
Set up SSH...
[generate new keypair](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent#generating-a-new-ssh-key)
add GitHub stuff to `~/.ssh/config` if it's not there already
`ssh-add` the privkey...
finally [let GitHub know about the pubkey](https://github.com/settings/keys)
Clone the repo
## setup
### zsh
Install [oh-my-zsh] to configure zsh.
### [Homebrew]
Install [Homebrew] and then:
```shell
brew install \
asdf \
lua luarocks \
neovim \
ripgrep fzf fd \
chafa \
entr \
difftastic \
dos2unix
```
### install these dotfiles
```shell
ln -s .zshrc ~
ln -s .zshenv ~
ln -s alxndr.zsh-theme ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes
mkdir -p ~/.config
ln -s nvim ~/.config/
ln -s .gitconfig ~/.config/
```
### asdf setup
```shell
asdf plugin add nodejs https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-nodejs.git \
&& asdf install nodejs latest
asdf plugin add ruby https://github.com/asdf-vm/asdf-ruby.git \
&& asdf install ruby latest
```
### neovim setup
It'll start off saying "module 'paq' not found" because you gotta [install it separately](https://github.com/savq/paq-nvim/blob/295fbf1/README.md#installation) first...
```shell
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/savq/paq-nvim.git \
"${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/pack/paqs/start/paq-nvim
```
Then install the other modules...
```shell
nvim -c 'PaqInstall|TSUpdate'
```
Might then complain about "Node JS not found: `node` is not executable!" if you haven't done something like `asdf install nodejs latest`...
...or `Vim(lua):E5108: Error executing lua .../start/nvim-treesitter/lua/nvim-treesitter/highlight.lua:14: attempt to index local 'hlmap' (a nil value)`

## OS/version-specific notes
### macOS 14 (Sonoma)
Oooh shiny... upgraded the 2021 MBP and it kept the settings...
### macOS 13 (Ventura)
2021 MBP
* Prefs...
* Keyboard
* Dvorak layout inder Input Sources
* turn on "Keyboard navigation" (tab / shift-tab)
* "Press 🌐 key to": "Show Emoji & Symbols" 🎉
* "Keyboard Shortcuts…" button opens a panel, "Modifier Keys" tab lets you map Caps Lock to Control
* Mouse / Trackpad
* tap-to-click
* double-tap-to-right-click
* Accessibility
* "three-finger drag" is in Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad Options button, "Enable dragging": "with three finger drag" (make sure there's no 'normal' 3-finger gesture which conflicts)
* "Reduce motion" option in Display
* Auto-Hide Dock (right-click the dock, "Turn Hiding On")
* [iTerm 2][iterm2]
* [Karabiner]
* [Bartender][bartender]
### macOS 12 (Monterey)
2020 MBP
* Prefs...
* "three-finger drag" is in Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad Options button, "Enable dragging": "with three finger drag" (make sure there's no 'normal' 3-finger gesture which conflicts)
* "Reduce motion" option 🎉 🍾 Accessibility > Display
* use Tab to skip through buttons: Keyboard > Shortcuts tab > checkbox at the bottom "Use keyboard navigation to move focus forward..."
* _not_ the one in Accessibility > Keyboard > Navigation tab > "Enable Full Keyboard Access"
* Apps...
* iTerm2 (of course)
* Karabiner (to turn Enter into Control when held)
* Complex Modifications > "Change return to control if pressed with other keys..."
* installing Karabiner seems to moot the built-in CL-to-Ctrl mapping, so have to set it up in Karabiner as well
* Markdown Editor

* dvorak keyboard
* karabiner needs permissions
* restore from Time Machine works pretty pretty pretty well

* System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, uncheck "Correct spelling automatically"
* rip out a bunch of keyboard shortcuts:
* System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, uncheck pretty much everything except for the Screen Shots
* turn off hold-letter-for-accent-marks:

* System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts, under "Full Keyboard Access […]" select the "All controls" radio button

* only show one OS X Menu Bar when using multiple monitors:
* System Preferences > Mission Control > uncheck "Displays have separate Spaces", then re-login
