Raw Blame History

Desktop

My general desktop environment configuration.

Parts prefixed with (OFF) are not used, but kept for historic purposes. For some reason GitHub's org renderer ignores TODO status, hence such a prefix. Round brackets instead of square ones to prevent GitHub's org renderer from screwing up.

Global customization

Colors

Most of the colors are from the Palenight theme. Colorcodes are taken from this repo:

color	key	value
black	color0	#292d3e
red	color1	#f07178
green	color2	#c3e88d
yellow	color3	#ffcb6b
blue	color4	#82aaff
magenta	color5	#c792ea
cyan	color6	#89ddff
white	color7	#d0d0d0
light-black	color8	#434758
light-red	color9	#ff8b92
light-green	color10	#ddffa7
light-yellow	color11	#ffe585
light-blue	color12	#9cc4ff
light-magenta	color13	#e1acff
light-cyan	color14	#a3f7ff
light-white	color15	#ffffff

The table above is the only source of truth for colors in this config.

The first way to get colors of it is to use the following noweb:

(let ((color (seq-some (lambda (e) (and (string= name (car e)) (nth 2 e))) table)))
  (if (> quote 0)
      (concat "\"" color "\"")
    color))

Also, run the following to disable configuration for noweb evaluations:

(setq-local org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)

Test:

<<get-color(name="red", quote=1)>>

#f07178

Xresources

Colors in Xresources

However, I'd rather use the Xresources file wherever possible. Here is the code to generate an Xresources file from this table:

(apply
 #'concat
 (mapcar
  (lambda (elem)
    (concat "*" (nth 1 elem) ": " (nth 2 elem) "\n"))
  (seq-filter
   (lambda (elem) (nth 1 elem))
   table)))

<<get-xresources()>>

*background: <<get-color(name="black")>>
*foreground: <<get-color(name="white")>>

Fonts

Also, Xresources are used to set Xft settings. Unfortunately, the DPI setting has to be unique for each machine, which means I cannot commit Xresources to the repo.

(let ((hostname (system-name)))
  (cond ((string-equal hostname "azure") 120)
        ((string-equal hostname "eminence") 120)
        ((string-equal hostname "indigo") 120)
        (t 96)))

Xft.dpi: <<get-dpi()>>

Themes

A few programs I use to customize the apperance are listed below.

Guix dependency	Description
matcha-theme	My preferred GTK theme

Set screen layout & other params depending on hostname

hostname=$(hostname)
if [ "$hostname" = "indigo" ]; then
    xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --off --output HDMI-A-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output DVI-D-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal
elif [ "$hostname" = "eminence" ]; then
    xgamma -gamma 1.25
fi

i3wm

Guix dependency	Disabled
i3-gaps
i3lock	true

i3lock is disabled because the global one has to be used.

i3wm is a manual tiling window manager, which is currently my window manager of choice. I've tried several alternatives, including xmonad & EXWM, but i3 seems to fit my workflow best.

i3-gaps is an i3 fork with a few features like window gaps. I like to enable inner gaps when there is at least one container in a workspace.

Managing windows

Some keybindings for managing windows.

emacs-i3-integration is a script to pass some command to Emacs to get a consistent set of keybindings in both i3 and Emacs. Check out the section in Emacs.org for details.

Rules

Rules to automatically assign applications to workspaces and do other stuff, like enable floating.

Most apps can be distinguished by a WM class (you can get one with xprop), but in some cases it doesn't work, e.g. for terminal applications. In that case rules can be based on a window title, for instance.

However, watch out for the following: rule such as for_window [title="ncmpcpp.*"] move to workspace $w9 will move any window with a title starting with ncmpcpp to workspace $w9. For instance, it moves your browser when you google "ncmpcpp".

assign [class="Emacs"] $w1
assign [class="qutebrowser"] $w2
assign [class="firefox"] $w2
assign [class="VK"] $w3
assign [class="Slack"] $w3
assign [class="discord"] $w3
assign [class="TelegramDesktop"] $w3
assign [class="Postman"] $w4
assign [class="Chromium-browse"] $w4
assign [class="chromium"] $w4
assign [class="google-chrome"] $w4
assign [title="Vue Developer Tools"] $w4
assign [class="Google Play Music Desktop Player"] $w9

assign [class="skype"] $w7
assign [class="Mailspring"] $w8
assign [class="Thunderbird"] $w8
assign [class="Joplin"] $w8
assign [class="keepassxc"] $w10

for_window [title="VirtScreen"] floating enable

for_window [title="ncmpcpp.*"] move to workspace $w9
for_window [title="newsboat.*"] move to workspace $w9
for_window [title=".*run_wego"] move to workspace $w9
for_window [class="cinnamon-settings*"] floating enable
for_window [title="Picture-in-Picture"] sticky enable
for_window [window_role="GtkFileChooserDialog"] resize set width 1000 px height 800 px
for_window [window_role="GtkFileChooserDialog"] move position center

Scratchpad

Scratch terminal, inspired by this Luke Smith's video.

Launch script

First of all, we have to distinguish a scratchpad terminal from a normal one. To do that, one can create st with a required classname.

Then, it would be cool not to duplicate scratchpads, so the following script first looks for a window with a created classname. If it exists, the script just toggles the scratchpad visibility. Otherwise, a new instance of a window is created.

CLASSNAME="dropdown_tmux"
COMMAND="alacritty --class $CLASSNAME -e tmux new-session -s $CLASSNAME"
pid=$(xdotool search --classname "dropdown_tmux")
if [[ ! -z $pid  ]]; then
    i3-msg scratchpad show
else
    setsid -f ${COMMAND}
fi

i3 config

# Scratchpad
for_window [instance="dropdown_*"] floating enable
for_window [instance="dropdown_*"] move scratchpad
for_window [instance="dropdown_*"] sticky enable
for_window [instance="dropdown_*"] scratchpad show
for_window [instance="dropdown_*"] move position center

bindsym $mod+u exec ~/bin/scripts/dropdown

Gaps & borders

The main reason to use i3-gaps

# Borders
# for_window [class=".*"] border pixel 0
default_border pixel 3
hide_edge_borders both

# Gaps
set $default_inner 10
set $default_outer 0

gaps inner $default_inner
gaps outer $default_outer

smart_gaps on

Keybindings

mode "inner gaps" {
    bindsym plus gaps inner current plus 5
    bindsym minus gaps inner current minus 5
    bindsym Shift+plus gaps inner all plus 5
    bindsym Shift+minus gaps inner all minus 5
    bindsym 0 gaps inner current set 0
    bindsym Shift+0 gaps inner all set 0

    bindsym r gaps inner current set $default_inner
    bindsym Shift+r gaps inner all set $default_inner

    bindsym Return mode "default"
    bindsym Escape mode "default"
}

mode "outer gaps" {
    bindsym plus gaps outer current plus 5
    bindsym minus gaps outer current minus 5
    bindsym Shift+plus gaps outer all plus 5
    bindsym Shift+minus gaps outer all minus 5
    bindsym 0 gaps outer current set 0
    bindsym Shift+0 gaps outer all set 0

    bindsym r gaps outer current set $default_outer
    bindsym Shift+r gaps outer all set $default_outer

    bindsym Return mode "default"
    bindsym Escape mode "default"
}

bindsym $mod+g mode "inner gaps"
bindsym $mod+Shift+g mode "outer gaps"

Move & resize windows

Guix dependency
python-i3-balance-workspace

A more or less standard set of keybindings to move & resize floating windows. Just be careful to always make a way to return from these new modes, otherwise you'd end up in a rather precarious situation.

i3-balance-workspace is a small Python package to balance the i3 windows, but for the Emacs integration I also want this button to balance the Emacs windows, so here is a small script to do just that.

if [[ $(xdotool getactivewindow getwindowname) =~ ^emacs(:.*)?@.* ]]; then
    emacsclient -e "(balance-windows)" &
fi
i3_balance_workspace

mode "resize" {

    bindsym h exec emacs-i3-integration resize shrink width 10 px or 10 ppt
    bindsym j exec emacs-i3-integration resize grow height 10 px or 10 ppt
    bindsym k exec emacs-i3-integration resize shrink height 10 px or 10 ppt
    bindsym l exec emacs-i3-integration resize grow width 10 px or 10 ppt

    bindsym Shift+h exec emacs-i3-integration resize shrink width 100 px or 100 ppt
    bindsym Shift+j exec emacs-i3-integration resize grow height 100 px or 100 ppt
    bindsym Shift+k exec emacs-i3-integration resize shrink height 100 px or 100 ppt
    bindsym Shift+l exec emacs-i3-integration resize grow width 100 px or 100 ppt

    # same bindings, but for the arrow keys
    bindsym Left  exec emacs-i3-integration resize shrink width 10 px or 10 ppt
    bindsym Down  exec emacs-i3-integration resize grow height 10 px or 10 ppt
    bindsym Up    exec emacs-i3-integration resize shrink height 10 px or 10 ppt
    bindsym Right exec emacs-i3-integration resize grow width 10 px or 10 ppt

    bindsym Shift+Left  exec emacs-i3-integration resize shrink width 100 px or 100 ppt
    bindsym Shift+Down  exec emacs-i3-integration resize grow height 100 px or 100 ppt
    bindsym Shift+Up    exec emacs-i3-integration resize shrink height 100 px or 100 ppt
    bindsym Shift+Right exec emacs-i3-integration resize grow width 100 px or 100 ppt

    bindsym equal exec i3-emacs-balance-windows

    # back to normal: Enter or Escape
    bindsym Return mode "default"
    bindsym Escape mode "default"

    bindsym $mod+Tab focus right

    bindsym Left  move left

    # back to normal: Enter or Escape
    bindsym Return mode "default"
    bindsym Escape mode "default"
}

bindsym $mod+m mode "move" focus floating

OFF (OFF) Intergration with dmenu

dmenu is a dynamic menu program for X. I've opted out of using it in favour of rofi, but here is a relevant bit of config.

Scripts are located in the bin/scripts folder.

# dmenu
bindsym $mod+d exec i3-dmenu-desktop --dmenu="dmenu -l 10"
bindsym $mod+apostrophe mode "dmenu"

mode "dmenu" {
    bindsym d exec i3-dmenu-desktop --dmenu="dmenu -l 10"; mode default
    bindsym p exec dmenu_run -l 10; mode default
    bindsym m exec dmenu-man; mode default
    bindsym b exec dmenu-buku; mode default
    bindsym f exec dmenu-explore; mode default
    bindsym t exec dmenu-tmuxp; mode default
    bindsym Escape mode "default"
}

bindsym $mod+b exec --no-startup-id dmenu-buku

Integration with rofi

Keybindings to launch rofi. For more detail, look the /sqrtminusone/dotfiles/src/commit/20af706fa28d1c33e594b99e531aa385bb9ce26d/*Rofi section.

bindsym $mod+d exec "rofi -modi 'drun,run' -show drun"
bindsym $mod+b exec --no-startup-id rofi-buku-mine
bindsym $mod+minus exec rofi-pass; mode default

bindsym $mod+apostrophe mode "rofi"

mode "rofi" {
    bindsym d exec "rofi -modi 'drun,run' -show drun"
    bindsym m exec rofi-man; mode default
    bindsym b exec rofi-buku-mine; mode default
    bindsym k exec rofi-pass; mode default
    bindsym Escape mode "default"
}

Launching apps & misc keybindings

I prefer to use a separate mode to launch most of my apps, with some exceptions.

Apps

# Launch apps
# start a terminal at workspace 1
bindsym $mod+Return exec "i3-msg 'workspace 1 🚀; exec alacritty'"

bindsym $mod+p exec "copyq menu"

Keyboard Layout

A script to set Russian-English keyboard layout:

setxkbmap -layout us,ru
setxkbmap -model pc105 -option 'grp:win_space_toggle' -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle'

A script to toggle the layout

if setxkbmap -query | grep -q us,ru; then
    setxkbmap -layout us
    setxkbmap -option
else
    setxkbmap -layout us,ru
    setxkbmap -model pc105 -option 'grp:win_space_toggle' -option 'grp:alt_shift_toggle'

Polybar

Guix dependency	Description
polybar	statusbar

Polybar is a nice-looking, WM-agnostic statusbar program.

I switched to polybar because I wanted to try out some WMs other than i3, but decided to stick with i3 for now.

Don't forget to install the Google Noto Color Emoji font. Guix package with all Noto fonts is way too large.

Modules

Some of the custom modules below use Org mode noweb to evaluate colors, because it's faster than querying xrdb at runtime. I wish I could reference polybar values there, but it looks like this is impossible.

If you want to copy something, you can go to the bin/polybar folder.

keynav

Guix dependency
keynav

Type	Note
SYMLINK	./config/keynavrc -> .keynavrc

How many times you have been working with keyboard-driven programs and had to use a mouse just to press some pesky little button in a modal window?

keynav is a program that allows you to control the mouse with the keyboard with the general idea of bisecting the screen to get to the required point. I'm still not sure if there is any point in using it, but it's rather funny. Unfortunately, the colors seem to be hardcoded.

One of the usecases I found so far is to use the program to scroll webpages when tridactyl's scroll captures the wrong scroll area.

Using with picom

I've noticed that the program does not play nice with picom's fade effect. To fix that, add the following to you config:

fade-exclude = [
  "class_i = 'keynav'",
  "class_g = 'keynav'",
]

Picom

Guix dependency
picom

picom is a compositor for X11. It allows effects such as transparency, blurring, etc.

Sample configuration is a good resource for getting an overview of the available settings. I have only a bunch of necessary settings in mine.

There are a bunch of forks for picom (e.g. ibhagwan/picom adds rounded corners) which seem to have some popularity, but I use the base one.

References:

Shadows

shadow = true;
shadow-radius = 2;
shadow-offset-x = -2;
shadow-offset-y = -2;

shadow-exclude = [
  "name = 'Notification'",
  "class_g = 'Conky'",
  "name ?= 'cpt_frame_window'",
  "class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'",
  "class_g = 'Cairo-clock'",
  "_GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS@:c"
];

Fading

fading = true

fade-in-step = 0.03;
fade-out-step = 0.03;
fade-delta = 10

fade-exclude = [
  "class_i = 'keynav'",
  "class_g = 'keynav'",
]

Opacity

I don't use stuff like transparency for inactive windows.

The first 5 lines of opacity-rule make i3wm's hidden windows 100% transparent, so I see the background behind the semi-transparent windows in i3wm's stacked and tabbed layout. Here is StackExchange question about that.

I also noticed that for some reason it doesn't play well with Emacs's built-in transparency, so the last line sets up Emacs transparency at 90%.

inactive-opacity = 1;

frame-opacity = 1.0;
inactive-opacity-override = false;
focus-exclude = [ "class_g = 'Cairo-clock'" ];

opacity-rule = [
  "0:_NET_WM_STATE@[0]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
  "0:_NET_WM_STATE@[1]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
  "0:_NET_WM_STATE@[2]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
  "0:_NET_WM_STATE@[3]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
  "0:_NET_WM_STATE@[4]:32a = '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN'",
  "90:class_g = 'Emacs'"
];

};

Zathura

Guix dependency
zathura
zathura-ps
zathura-pdf-poppler
zathura-djvu

Zathura is a pdf viewer with vim-like keybindings. One of my favorite features is an ability to invert the document colors.

set abort-clear-search false
set show-scrollbars true
set show-h-scrollbar true
set show-v-scrollbar true
set selection-clipboard clipboard
set recolor-lightcolor <<get-color(name="black", quote=1)>>

Nix

Type	Description
TODO	Make nix manifest?

I probably should've used nix, as almost every program I packaged so far exists in the Nix repo.

But it's easy enough to use Nix on Guix.

Don't forget to run the following after the first installation:

nix-channel --update

Installing packages:

nix-env -i vk-messenger slack
