When locking the screen and using another layout (from the one that the password needs to be typed) there is no way to change it. This is intended behavior from i3lock, here is relavant issue.

In order to solve that the layout needs to be changed to the password's.

Swayidle should not execute its logic (dim screen -> lock -> suspend) if one of the following cases are true:

• audio is playing
• an app is on full screen

When xidle-hook runs it should be able to detect if system's is already locked (therefore it should not try to lock it again ¯_(ツ)_/¯‍)

At the moment swaylock is used with params. lets use a config file instead

There are some paths/configurations that uses the specific user's name (i.e. george). That should be changed to $USER.

So far adding a new zsh plugin would require to add it as a git submodule. Maybe antigen could ease things out?

Lets organize directives based on their scope into separate files inside a config.d directory

There are undefined cases for the restoring hooks.
The brightness should be restored in all cases (now it is just the first one)

• Handle sway session when changing the background from random-wallpaper
• Change waybar to polybar's styling
• Use network-manager-applet-indicator in tray

This script should handle both x11 and wayland sessions

Inputs should be the mode (stretch, fill etc...) and the image to set

The polybar configuration should include different instructions based on connected displays.
Ideally, that would also include a script that handles active screens connected to determine the monitor ENV variable.

This should help avoiding any illegal character error

Many of the systemd's services use custom scripts of this projects. There are many times that env variables are needed (like session type (x11 or wayland)).

Lets use the wiki and import them

Since I use multiple keyboard layouts it's better to use bindcode instead of bindsym as the i3 docs specifies.

Add system default locale

When using multiple keyboard layouts, opening rofi in a non "us" layout it's not very handy since the shortcut "Super+space" is not working properly (when rofi is active).

Suggestion is to create a script that detects the keyboard layout, changes it to us if needed and executes the input command (can be anything, not only rofi). At the end any previous keyboard layout is restored.

When a song's name has a special character in it the script breaks 😭

Here is an example of the output

When running xidlehook the brightness that restores is the same as the one that the machine was booted

Example:

1. Machine booted with 50% brightness
2. Later it gets adjusted at 100%
3. idlehook reduces brightness
4. Restoration is at 50% instead of 100%

On launch.sh script we use main monitor twice 🤦‍♂️

As dotfiles are increasing it's becoming a bit of a pain to manage all of them (creating the symlinks, backing up, excluding unwanted things from $HOME). Also, tracking the whole $HOME folder in git is not the best idea since it messes up with any terminal helpers for git (like the git plugin for zsh).

Lets use stow to manage the dotfiles.

A basic example can be found here

Lets use the lock script to handle the appropriate session (x11 or wayland)

XDG_SESSION_TYPE will help here

Just like with i3 lets split polybar into its own condig.d directory

refs #72

Find a way to combine status from multiple batteries and return the calculated status as a single result. This could be nicely used to polybar 😄

This project uses the Papirus-Dark set of icons. Dunst uses only a subset of those. Please configure all the icon paths properly by setting the property icon_path inside the dunstrc

When using this repository on a fresh install i found myself configuring the same files in etc like keyboard settings, suspend with systemd, locale etc...

Even though this is debatable i prefer this kind of configurations to be included in this repo.

Stow will help again here 😀

When watching a video or scrolling a page the screen flickers (linear distortion). Check compton's config to fix this.

When a file (or multiple files) change from external sources ( 😈 ) vim should reload it/them.

Here's an example:

handle-sound increase 5 # increases main sink by 5%

In other words, UPDATE tfm

The install script should ... install 🎉 all the dependencies and git submodules and have the environment ready to use with ease.

Opinions on this may vary but it seems that is easier to maintain an i3 configuration when it's splitted in multiple files

We can create files based on scopes

config.d/key-bindings.conf
config.d/app-directives.conf
