## Useful cli tools
- [awk](https://tildes.net/~comp/f1a/awk_by_example) - linked awesome tutorial, I wrote md-\>html converter in it.
- [fselect](https://github.com/jhspetersson/fselect) - find files (and do magic with them) with sql-like queries
- [dust](https://github.com/bootandy/dust) - du replacement, shows where did all your disk space go
- [fd](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) - find replacement that is user friendly
- [pazi](https://github.com/euank/pazi) - quick movement across most-visited directories ([z](https://github.com/rupa/z) replacement)
- [bb](https://github.com/epilys/bb) (BigBrother) - htop alternative
## Vim workflow
### Html snippets
After creating new html file, one can type `html` in order to have basic html structure - head, body, links to css/js/favicon, meta tags - setup.
After typing `<`, one can press tab so the closing tag will autocomplete.
### LaTeX snippets
Pressing `\ll` turns autocompilation on/off. After file is saved, changes will be automatically compiled and pdf viewer (`mupdf`) will be updated.
After creating new tex file, one can type `article` which fills in latex preamble with basic declarations.
`begin` autofills begin block.
`fm` and `dm` (without tab) creates math blocks.
`{number}/` or `//` creates a `\frac` block.
Typing `name-of-figure` launches inkscape which let's user draw the figure, which is automagically compiled into latex document. [`inkscape-figures watch`](https://github.com/gillescastel/inkscape-figures) has to be launched beforehand.
Existing figures can be edited by pressing `` in normal mode and selecting one via rofi.
### Nonstandard or uncommon keybindings
- Visual select lines and press `zf` to create foldable section. Use `za` to toggle it and `zd` to delete it.
- When a folder is opened, file browser NerdTree is opened, which doesn't close when one opens files. This way it works like Solution Browser in VS. This can be toggled with `\n`.
- When hovering over a symbol, `` sometimes - when CTAGs are generated - navigates user to definition. The same can be achieved with `\j` without the need for ctags.
- `` and `` switches between multiple open buffers. `` closes current buffer.
- `` compiles and runs current code. Only works in Rust so far.
## Screenshots
Borderless fullscreen video in Firefox (!, not via youtubedl)
Neofetch and firefox (the tree style tabs window shrinks when I don't have mouse over it):
Locked with i3lock and custom image:

|media.navigator.enabled|false||
|media.peerconnection.enabled|false||
|network.trr.mode|2|[see this](https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2018/06/03/inside-firefoxs-doh-engine/)|

### Enable RAM cache
Instead of saving cache to disk, save it to RAM instead. It's faster and it doesn't hurt my SSD so much. See [AW](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox/Tweaks#Turn_off_the_disk_cache).
|Configuration|Value|Explanation|
|---|---|---|
|browser.cache.disk.enable|false||
|browser.cache.memory.enable|true||
|browser.cache.memory.capacity|-1|Maximum memory, in KB, used. Use `-1` for auto detection.|
