Launcher - Rofi
Installation
yay -S rofi
Setup rofi as a dmenu replacement
Setup rofi as a dmenu replacement in ~/.i3/config
:
bindsym $mod+d exec --no-startup-id rofi -show run
Run sudo commands with rofi
https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi/issues/584#issuecomment-384555551
Use sudo -A
, that will open a rofi prompt to ask for the password.
For that to work, we need to add the following code to ~/.profile
:
export SUDO_ASKPASS=~/bin/askpass-rofi
The askpass
script is:
#!/bin/sh # Take password prompt from STDIN, print password to STDOUT # the sed piece just removes the colon from the provided # prompt: rofi -p already gives us a colon rofi -dmenu \ -password \ -no-fixed-num-lines \ -p "$(printf "$1" | sed s/://)"
Password Manager: Pass
Install the pass package
yay -S pass
Initialize the password store as a git repository
pass git init pass git remote add origin https://github.com/tdehaeze/pass.git
Gui Manager
https://github.com/IJHack/qtpass
yay -S qtpass
Integration with Rofi
Installation
yay -S rofi-pass
Then we can add a shortcut to rofi-pass
on i3 config.
Alternative
https://github.com/ibizaman/pass-clip
yay -S pass-clip
Integration with Browsers
This is explained here.
Integration with Git
Installation
yay -S pass-git-helper
Configuration
First, add the relation between repository addresses and entries in pass
. This is done in the following config file .config/pass-git-helper/git-pass-mapping.ini
:
[github.com*] target=github.com/tdehaeze
Then, add the credential helper on the git configuration file ~/.gitconfig
and add the default username for the repositories adresses.
[credential] helper = !pass-git-helper $@ [credential "https://github.com"] username = tdehaeze
Integration with other programs
Integrate pass in other programs is usually very easy, here are few examples:
~/.msmtprc
:passwordeval "pass email/dehaeze.thomas@gmail.com"
~/.mbsyncrc
PassCmd "pass email/dehaeze.thomas@gmail.com"
Bookmark Manager: Buku
Installation
yay -S buku
Integration with Rofi
Installation
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/carnager/buku_run/master/buku_run -o ~/bin/buku_run
chmod +x ~/bin/buku_run
Configuration
The configuration file is here: ~/.config/buku_run/config
Integration with qutebrowser
Synchronization with a git repository
The database is stored in ~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db
.
We initialize a git repository in this folder:
cd ~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db git init
Then we create a script that will automatically add bookmarks.db
and push to some repository: ~/scripts/buku_git_push.sh
.
To automatically run the script every day, a systemd unit is used: ~/.config/systemd/user/bukugit.timer
and ~/.config/systemd/user/bukugit.service
systemctl start --user bukugit.timer systemctl enable --user bukugit.timer
Import Bookmarks from Firefox and Chrome
From Firefox, export the bookmarks as html file.
Then import the bookmark file using buku -i bookmarks.html
.
This will add a tag with current date to all bookmarks imported.
To remove them, use: buku --replace '2018dec20' ''

The password_fill
script can be found on github.com.
It is configured using the ~/.config/qutebrowser/password_fill_rc
file.
Integration with Buku

Multi-line messages
Solution is provided here: https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack/issues/118 It uses multiline.pl script. Then alt-enter is bound to insert a new line:
/set plugins.var.perl.multiline.magic_paste_only on /key bind meta-ctrl-M /input insert \x0a
And enter is bound to magic_enter
that directly sends the message if its one line, and if its multiple line, waits a little bit and then sends the message:
/key bind ctrl-M /input magic_enter
Send message using $EDITOR

/slack register [CODE_FROM_URL]
Your Slack team is now added, and you can complete setup by restarting the wee-slack script.
/python reload slack
If you don’t want to store your API token in plaintext you can use the secure features of weechat:

Theme manager

There would be at least one light and one dark theme. Applications that could change:

It seems the color is due to this part of the script. Should then source this file somehow.

Base16 Philosophy
Define colors according to rules: http://chriskempson.com/projects/base16/ Then we can use these colors multiple applications.
Base16-shell
https://github.com/chriskempson/base16-shell
This changes the shell colors. This should be added to ~/.bashrc
:
# Base16 Shell BASE16_SHELL="$HOME/.config/base16-shell/" [ -n "$PS1" ] && \ [ -s "$BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh" ] && \ eval "$("$BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh")"
Base16-manager

This help changes many applications colors at once.
