Mahdi's Dotfiles

These are my dotfiles. I keep things as minimal as possible — no flashy colors, no distractions.

Tools that I use:

Terminal Emulator: Suckless ST

I used to have my own build, but as bugs started occuring especially with regards to sixel image generation, I started using st-flexipatch.

Window Manager: i3

A manual TWM is always better than a dynamic WM.

Along with i3blocks (scripts used are at bin/statusbar):

File Manager: LF

LF is by far the most feature-rich terminal file manager I've ever used. For image generation I use SIXEL, which is much better than using something like ueberzug.

Text Editors

For note taking I ues Emacs+org-mode.

For software development I've been using Neovim for 6 years now.

Browser: Firefox+Arkenfox.js

I use my modified version of arkenfox (See: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/):

Custom Keybindings

Using keyd, I remap my capslock key to Control, and my rightalt to Super.

[main]
capslock = layer(control)
rightalt = layer(meta)
