This repo will contain the dot files I use to configure my system. The bin directory contains some utility scripts that get copied to ~/.bin.

git clone [email protected]:nithinbekal/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
bin/install

My editor of choice is vim, and I use Neovim from the terminal.

My setup depends on Neovim, ag, fzf and ripgrep.

Tmux needs reattach-to-user-namespace to make sure pbcopy and pbpaste commands work properly.

brew install neovim ag fzf ripgrep reattach-to-user-namespace

Battery status: To setup battery status in tmux, the following is required:

wget https://raw.github.com/Goles/Battery/master/battery
mv battery /usr/local/bin
chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/battery

vim-airline is configured to use powerline fonts to display non-ASCII characters. To get this to work, powerline fonts need to be installed.

git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git /tmp/powerline-fonts
/tmp/powerline-fonts/install.sh
rm -rf /tmp/powerline-fonts

Then, set a powerline font in Preferences > Profile > Text > Non-ASCII font. I use Menlo, which is not available in powerline fonts, but "Robot Mono for Powerline" works well with it.

Since macOS Sierra (10.12):

• System Preferences > Keyboard > Modifier keys: Set Caps Lock to Escape.

• Preferences > General > Load preferences from custom folder or url
  • Set it to dotfiles_path/items2/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist

My config for VS Code and Sublime are in editors/, but these are not automatically installed.

VS Code has problems with repeated keystrokes with the vim plugin on MacOS, (details) so this command needs to be run to fix that:

defaults write com.microsoft.VSCode ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

I use pry for debugging Ruby programs, and I've set up an .inputrc file to use vi mode and add a couple of shortcuts in normal mode:

C-n: execute next line (equivalent to typing "next" and hitting enter)
C-s: step through the code (equivalent to typing "step" and hitting enter)

function tmux-my-project {
  cd my-project

  tmux start-server

  tmux new-session -d -s myproject -n main
  tmux split-window -h -p 34

  tmux new-window -n server
  tmux select-pane -t 1
  tmux send-keys "bundle exec rails server" C-m

  tmux select-window -t 1
  tmux select-pane -t 1

  tmux send-keys "nvim" C-m

  tmux -u attach-session -d -t myproject
