Zack's Dotfiles

Nix - *.nix

• I am officially using Nix flakes and home-manager on my macbook so I can define all of my development dependencies in a single place (and make it easier to re-install my dotfiles on new systems)
• To install software system-wide, I just need to modify home.nix and run make update (which calls into home-manager)
• Most of my shell configuration is now specified in Nix, while everything else gets symlinked into my home directory by Nix

tmux - .tmux.conf

• super basic tmux config
• prefix key: `
• uses tpm (install manually), plus tmux-sensible and one-dark (install with <prefix-I>)
• when a session ends, will switch to another active session (useful since I tend to have more sessions than terminal windows open)

Neovim - .config/nvim/*

• I finally bit the bullet and made my own Neovim config
• copied quite a bit from Brady Bhalla and Eric Lee
• basically a slimmed down version of my previous Lunarvim config merged with my vim config

Vim - .vimrc

• relatively minimal config with a few plugins and mappings, used when I can't be bothered to set up all my neovim stuff
  • vim-sensible, vim-surround, nerdtree (mapped to <C-n>), vim-commentary (mapped to gcc), and vim-repeat (.)
  • leader key is <Space>, save with <leader>w and quit with <leader>q
  • persistent undo
• uses vim-plug (install manually), then install plugins with :PlugInstall
• init.lua simply loads ~/.vimrc
• works with vim and macvim

zsh - .zshrc

• many random aliases and stuff, plus configuration for various programs
• uses the starship prompt
• cd aliased to zoxide
• n for nodejs version management (much faster startup than nvm)
• conda for python
• m to select a makefile target using fzf

Yabai - .config/yabai/yabairc, .config/skhd/skhdrc

• I have it installed with macports nix
• Bindings are controlled using skhd (see skhdrc)
  • I used Amethyst before switching to yabai, so my bindings tend to use shift-alt and shift-ctrl-alt as prefixes
• Note that if you're installing this for the first time, you have to go through a slightly convoluted procedure to disable SIP so that everything works properly
• Credit where credit's due: I stole most of this config from ericlovesmath

Wezterm - .config/wezterm/wezterm.lua

• installed using macports nix
• I quite like the lua-based configuration
• I switched from Alacritty because... why not? Just wanted to change things up

Emacs

• I don't currently use Emacs, but I've tried Doom Emacs in the past, and it's pretty great

Fonts

• Comic Mono NF - this is the best coding font in existence, no question about it
• Blex Mono NF - if you don't want to get bullied for using Comic Mono /j
