Dot Files

This repository contains configuration files for tools that I use during development and terminal navigation and usage. This file was created to be used in a Fedora distribution with Gnome, therefore it uses dnf to install packages and configure some Gnome extensions.

Installation script

The install.sh file will install all necessary packages, tools and dependencies in addition to guide the user through the configuration of some of them:

• installs zsh, oh-my-zsh, zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting, spaceship theme, sets zsh as default shell and copies the .zshrc file to the home directory (a backup file named .zshrc.bak is created);
• installs neovim and dependencies used by some plugins and copies neovim config to ~/.config directory;
• installs nvm, the latest LTS node version and uses npm to install some global packages to be used with nvim plugins;
• installs go and gopls;
• configures git with given user name and email (user input is needed) and create a new ssh key at ~/.ssh directory;
• installs solaar (to improve usage of logitech peripherals) and copies its config file;
• installs ruff to format and lint python code;
• installs lua-language-server;
• installs some gnome extensions;
• installs docker and insomnia;
• initialize zsh.

Configurations

All the configurations provided by this repository are described bellow along with some settings that should be done manually.

Zsh

The .zshrc file provides the following settings:

• updates path variable;
• adds spaceship theme configuration;
• adds oh-my-zsh plugins (git, highlighting, autosuggestions, docker and tmux);
• adds some aliases for general usage (makes ls redirects to eza);
• adds functions to load and unset env file values (load-env-file and unset-env-file);
• adds nvm hook to auto load node version in .nvmrc files;
• loads ssh keys (only github one by default) on initialization;
• loads GPG keys on initialization.

Tmux

The .tmux.conf file provides the following settings:

• remaps prefix to ;
• modifies split panes keybinds to <prefix> + - and <prefix> + =;
• enables mouse mode;
• disables automatic renaming;
• binds <prefix> + r to reload configuration file;
• uses xclip to copy and paste with system clipboard;
• makes Home and End keys work with tmux;
• binds Alt + h/j/k/l to switch panes without prefix;
• renames terminal tab title to current path;
• does general UI modifications.

Nvim

The nvim folder contains all files that provides general and plugin specific settings. The configured plugins (using lazy package manager) provides the following features:

• lsp, code formatting and linting for typescript, go, c and python;
• code completion with lsp;
• copilot and copilot chat with suggestions using completion box;
• noice for UI customization;
• telescope for files and text search;
• hover to provide lsp information;
• statusline to provide general information;
• git information such as blame and file/line modification;
• oxocarbon theme;
• better code highlighting;
• general improvements for code reading and writting.

Solaar

The solaar configuration file was created to be used with the MX Master 3S mouse and provides the following features:

• navigate between workspaces using the thumb wheel;
• show the applications menu using the middle (Smart Shift) button;
• show workspace windows using the thumb (Mouse Gestures) button.

To improve solaar icon at the top panel, add -b solaar at the end of the Exec options of the /etc/xdg/autostart/solaar.desktop file.

Cloud Drive Integration

With Gnome is possible to link an account to access files inside a Cloud Drive (such as Google Drive or OneDrive), but it uses the email to name the virtual volume which can become a problem if you use multiple drives with the same email.

To address this problem we can change the PresentationIdentity setting of the ~/.config/goa-1.0/accounts.conf file for each integration, this way we can choose the name that will be used to identify each integration.
