This is my first rice so it might not be perfect! If you like it feel free to clone the repo :)

Dependencies:

In order to have exacty what you saw in my gif/screenshots you should have installed:

• urxvt terminal
• ranger file manager
• cava audio visualizer
• spotify or cmus
• i3wm + i3gaps + i3blocks
• noto-fonts-emoji

In order for all the scripts & keybindings to work fine, you should have installed:

My .vimrc has not many functionalities, more to be added in 1-2 days!

Functionalities

i3

I have keybindings in i3 for:

• opening Firefox: Mod4+Shift+f
• opening Spotify: Mod4+Shift+m
• opening Android Studio: Mod4+Shift+p
• taking a screenshot: Mod4+Shift+z, saves it in ~/Desktop/screenshots/
• change volume using <F10>(mute) <F11>(lower by 5%) <F12>(higher by 5%)

TODO: make the startRecording && stopRecording to work from keybindings TODO2: make the dmenumount && dmenuumount to work from keybindings

i3blocks

I have the following blocks for i3blocks:

• user welcome -> "Welcome, %YOURUSERNAME%"
• weather -> Shows the weather for a hardcoded city in this format: CITY EMOJI CORESPONDING THE WEATHER CONDITIONS DEGREES CELSIUS OUTSIDE. If you want it to work for you edit the .scripts/weather script!
• update checker -> Shows a white dot if no update is necessary, a black dot and the number of packages to update if there are updates available
• volume -> shows the volume, also has mouse controls: right-click -> mute, scroll-up -> volume up by 5%, scroll-down -> volume down by 5%
• home space free -> shows how much free space there is left in home
• battery -> shows how much battery is left and the status: Charging / Not Charging
• date & time -> shows year-month-day hour:min:sec
• melody -> shows the current playing melody! I have 2 scripts to see what is playing in cmus and in spotify even if they play in the same time. It has mouse controls: left-click -> prev, middle-click -> pause (the color of the text becomes pinky), right-click -> next
• caps / num -> shows if I have caps / num activated

ranger

I have the following modified things for ranger:

• preview_images true

• goto bindings: formed from g +

  • do = Documents
  • D = downloads
  • de = desktop
  • it = Documents/git
  • c = .config
  • w = Downloads/wall
  • i have folder in my documents folder named deutsch that, but I don't think you have it so you might want to remove the line 401 from rc.conf

• move bindings: formed from M +

  • d = Documents
  • D = Downloads
  • desk = desktop
  • git = Documents/git
  • deutsch = Documents/deutsch (you might want to delete line 410 as well)
  • c = .config
  • w = Downloads/wall

• copy bindings: formed from c + (same thing as above)

• util bindings:

  • bg -> sets the image you are previewing to be the background and with wal sets a proper color scheme for it, but if you want to make the change permanent you should check .config/i3/config file
  • X -> extracts an archive
  • VI -> opens in vim the file you are previewing
  • vim -> opens vim

scripts

I have the following scripts in the .scripts folder (some of them are being used by programs listed above)

• bat -> used by i3blocks for the battery block
• compile -> it's deprecated here, check this
• dmenumount -> mounts an usb using a dmenu (stolen from Luke Smith)
• dmenuumount -> unmounts an usb using a dmenu (stolen from the same dank guy as above)
• makeproj -> makes a project for different kinds of programming languages + Latex
• media + media2 -> used by i3blocks to give me what music is playing in cmus / spotify
• startRecording -> script to start recording the screen! it has 2 modes (working): normal (you just type bash startRecording) and mute (type: bash startRecording mute). Mute doesn't record the mic, while normal does
• stopRecording -> script to stop the recording started by the script above
• updatechecker -> used by i3blocks for the updates block
• volume -> used by i3blocks for the volume block
• weather -> used by i3blocks for the weather block
• deadkeys.vim -> used by vim for the deadkeys feature

bin

It has the following commands:

• compile -> compiles .cpp, .java, and .tex files. It also runs the executable!
• dmenumount -> same as dmenumount from scripts
• extract -> used by ranger to extract archives
• makeproj -> same as makeproj from .scripts
• screenshot -> takes a screenshot and saves it to ~/Desktop/screenshots/

.vimrc

It has the following functionalities:

• number for lines

• Ctrl + c copys text to clipboard

• Ctrl + v pastes text from clipboard

• <space><space>d activates deadkeys

• <space><tab> goes to the closest <++> (for navigation)

• <F3> shows word count (for latex there is a special function so it only counts actual word not things like \end{document}

• <F9> compiles .cpp and .tex files

• Latex snippets:

  • ,s = \subsection{}
  • ,s* = \subsection*{}

deadkeysvim

Because a lot of my work means that I have to work with some deadkeys, I have stolen Luke Smith's ideea and implemented to be good for my purposes. It has the following bindings:

• " + A/O/U/a/o/u = that letter with umlaut
• You should have a font capable of reproducing Romanian special characters to see this:
• ) + a/A = ă
• ^ + a/i/A/I = â/î/Â/Î
• , + s/t/S/T = ș/ț/Ș/Ț
