• Window manager: i3 (specifically i3-gaps)

• Terminal emulator: Kitty

• Shell: Bash

Configuration details

Here’s a list of the programs with details on the config found in this repo:

Xorg

A display server implementing X window system.

• Config found at xorg/ directory.

• Minimum version (from Xorg -version):

  • X.Org X Server 1.20.5

  • X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

• The configuration is found at .Xresources containing the colors (0 to 15, foreground, and the background)

Vim

A modal text editor.

• Config located at vim/ directory.

• Minimum version (from vim --version):

  • 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Jul 29 2019 20:38:53)

• Contains my plugin list and editor configurations at .vimrc

• Eventually my UltiSnips snippets will also be added

Ranger

A Vim-based file browser. Here’s their config documentation for it.

• Config located at ranger/ directory.

• Minimum version (from ranger --version):

  • ranger version: ranger 1.9.2

  • Python version: 3.7.4 (default, Jul 16 2019, 07:12:58) [GCC 9.1.0]

• All of the config files are basically default config files except with a few changes.

• Contains keybinding in rc.conf. Additional keybindings include the O keybinding and their variants for opening my go-to programs such as Visual Studio Code.

• rifle.conf contains configuration for opening a list of programs.

Kitty

A GPU-based terminal emulator. Here’s the configuration doc for it.

• Config located at kitty/ directory.

• Minimum version (from kitty --version):

  • kitty 0.14.3 created by Kovid Goyal

• Main config file is kitty.conf and it simply sets the font (Fira Code) and the color pallete in colors.conf.

• colors.conf contains the same color scheme in .Xresources.

• As a simple reminder: unless you use other than Kitty, the colors defined in this colors.conf is the one to be used as default color pallete in terminal-based programs such as Vim or Ranger, not the .Xresources file.

i3-gaps

A fork of i3 window manager. Here’s the documentation page of the program.

• If it’s any of importance, the configuration is prone to be moved for the original version of i3 since there’s consideration for merging of gaps into i3.

• Config located at i3/ directory.

• Minimum version (from i3 --version):

  • i3 version 4.17 (04.08.2019) © 2009 Michael Stapelberg and contributors

• Uses rofi as the application launcher and serves as a replacement for dmenu.

• The containing config (config) is simply the default config with my personal config added into it. Not much to say here except I use i3bar (the default bar) and i3status (the default status bar config) to fill in.

• The config for i3status is located in a different directory at i3status/ containing a single config file (for now).

Rofi

The application switcher and launcher. Also serves as a replacement for dmenu.

• Config located at rofi/.

• Minimum version (from rofi -version):

  • Version: 1.5.4

• Main config is config.rasi.

• Beside the main config, I’ve also created my own theme (named fds-sidebar) which simply makes a sidebar. Every variation of my sidebar theme should import the common file (fds-sidebar-common.rasi) and only declare the colors. See fds-sidebar-dark.rasi for an example.
