# Dotfiles



These are my dotfiles.



And this is an incomplete list of what I use:



OS: Manjaro  

DE: Gnome  

Terminal: gnome-terminal (with desktop file patched to always open fullscreen)  

Terminal theme: hyper-snazzy  

Shell: zsh with oh-my-zsh  

Prompt: pure  

Browser: Chome  

Password manager: 1password  

Dotfiles manager: yadm  

Shell history: resh  

Editor: vscode with neovim  

Vscode theme: One Dark Pro  

Gnome extensions: Overlay icons, Switcher, Put windows, Sound IO Chooser, Clipboard Indicator  

Gnome configuration and keyboard shortcuts: heavily customized  

Keyboard customizations: Capslock=Meta, Short press Caps -> Escape, Caps+space -> Gnome overlay  



## My workflow



I used i3wm before so I don't like to be forced to use mouse.  

But I also don't like to be forced to use the keyboard (+many other reasons) so I switched to Gnome.  

I customized Gnome to get a more keyboard-friendly workflow.  



### Keybindings



I use vim (in vscode) so my keybindings use hjkl. 



- Capslock works as Meta/Super key

- Single press of Caps works as Escape instead of openning Gnome Overview

- Meta+hjkl moves focus

    - Meta+jk "moves focus" down/up between workspaces

    - Meta+hl moves focus left/right between windows (and displays)

        - only possible using this extension https://github.com/negesti/gnome-shell-extensions-negesti

- Meta+Shift+hjkl moves windows (and focus)



Some more keybindings to resize windows: maximize, tile left, tile right, minimize  

Rebind Alt+Tab to Meta+ui so it's closer.  

Meta+Enter to launch a new fullscreen terminal.  

Meta+q to close a window.



### Search open windows



This extension fuzzy searches windows by title: https://github.com/daniellandau/switcher
