** Neovim
I use [[https://github.com/neovim/neovim][Neovim]] for all the small edits.
Installation:
#+begin_src bash
yay -S neovim
#+end_src
The Neovim configuration can be found [[file:vim.org][here]].
Then install the plugin manager [[https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug][plug]]:
#+begin_src bash
sh -c 'curl -fLo "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}"/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim'
#+end_src
And to install/setup all the plugins:
#+begin_src bash
nvim +PlugInstall
nvim +UpdateRemotePlugins
#+end_src
** Emacs
I use [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/][Emacs]] and the [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs][Doom]] framework.
Install Emacs:
#+begin_src bash
yay -S emacs
#+end_src
And then the Doom framework:
#+begin_src bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ~/.emacs.d
~/.emacs.d/bin/doom install
#+end_src
The Emacs configuration can be found [[./doom.org][here]].
SpellCheck with Aspell:
#+begin_src bash
yay -S aspell aspell-en aspell-fr
#+end_src
* SSH setup
Generate a new SSH key:
#+begin_src bash
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "dehaeze.thomas@gmail.com"
#+end_src
Start the ssh-agent in the background:
#+begin_src bash
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
#+end_src
Add the SSH key to the ssh-agent:
#+begin_src bash
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
#+end_src
* GnuPG
https://gnupg.org/
Install the gnupg package:
#+begin_src bash
yay -S gnupg
#+end_src
Create a key pair:
#+begin_src bash
gpg --full-gen-key
#+end_src
To configure the =gpg-agent= to cache the passphrase, edit the following file =~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf=:
#+begin_src conf
default-cache-ttl 60480000
max-cache-ttl 60480000
#+end_src
Install =Gnome-Keyring= to automatically unlock the GnuPG keys:
#+begin_src bash
yay -S gnome-keyring
#+end_src
* =rofi= - Application Launcher
[[https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi][Rofi]] is a very nice alternative to [[https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/][dmenu]].
Installation:
#+begin_src bash
yay -S dmenu rofi rofi-calc
#+end_src
To be able to run sudo commands with =rofi= ([[https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi/issues/584#issuecomment-384555551][github issue]]), the command =sudo -A= can be used: it opens a =rofi= prompt to ask for the password.
For that to work, we need to add the following code to =~/.profile=:
#+begin_src bash
export SUDO_ASKPASS=~/.local/bin/askpass-rofi
#+end_src
The =askpass= script is:
#+begin_src bash
#!/bin/sh
rofi -dmenu \
-password \
-no-fixed-num-lines \
-p "$(printf "$1" | sed s/://)"
#+end_src
* =pass= - Password Manager
https://www.passwordstore.org/
Installation:
#+begin_src bash
yay -S pass
#+end_src
Initialize the password store as a git repository
#+begin_src bash
pass git init
pass git remote add origin https://github.com/tdehaeze/pass.git
#+end_src
Gui Manager: [[https://github.com/IJHack/qtpass][qtpass]]
#+begin_src bash
yay -S qtpass
#+end_src
Integration with Rofi: [[https://github.com/carnager/rofi-pass][rofi-pass]]
#+begin_src bash
yay -S rofi-pass
#+end_src
Then we can add a shortcut to =rofi-pass= on i3 config.
Integration with Git: [[https://github.com/languitar/pass-git-helper][pass-git-helper]]
#+begin_src bash
yay -S pass-git-helper
#+end_src
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=:
#+begin_src
[github.com*]
target=github.com/tdehaeze
#+end_src
Then, add the credential helper on the git configuration file =~/.gitconfig= and add the default username for the repositories adresses.
#+begin_src
[credential]
helper = !pass-git-helper $@
[credential "https://github.com"]
username = tdehaeze
#+end_src
** 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"=

*** Configuration
The configuration file is here: =~/.config/buku_run/config=
** Integration with qutebrowser
[[*Integration with Buku][Integration with Buku]]
** Synchronization with a git repository
The database is stored in =~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db=.
We initialize a git repository in this folder:
#+begin_src bash
cd ~/.local/share/buku/bookmarks.db
git init
#+end_src
Then we create a script that will automatically add =bookmarks.db= and push to some repository: =buku_git_push=.
To automatically run the script every day, a systemd unit is used: =~/.config/systemd/user/bukugit.timer= and =~/.config/systemd/user/bukugit.service=
#+begin_src bash
systemctl --user start --now bukugit.timer
#+end_src
** 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' ''=
** Web Interface
Run:
#+begin_src bash
bukuserver run --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5001
#+end_src
And then browse to http://127.0.0.1:5001.

Use the command =/fset=
** Multi-line messages
Solution is provided here: https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack/issues/118
It uses [[https://weechat.org/scripts/source/multiline.pl.html/][multiline.pl]] script.
Then alt-enter is bound to insert a new line:
#+begin_src conf
/set plugins.var.perl.multiline.magic_paste_only on
/key bind meta-ctrl-M /input insert \x0a
#+end_src
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:
#+begin_src conf
/key bind ctrl-M /input magic_enter
#+end_src
** Send message using =$EDITOR=
https://github.com/keith/edit-weechat
#+begin_src bash
mkdir -p ~/.weechat/python/autoload
cd ~/.weechat/python/autoload
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keith/edit-weechat/master/edit.py
#+end_src

*** Add your Slack API key(s)
Log in to Slack:
#+begin_src conf
/slack register
#+end_src
This command prints a link you should open in your browser to authorize WeeChat with Slack. Once you've accomplished this, copy the "code" portion of the URL in the browser and pass it to this command:
#+begin_src conf
/slack register [CODE_FROM_URL]
#+end_src
Your Slack team is now added, and you can complete setup by restarting the wee-slack script.
#+begin_src conf
/python reload slack
#+end_src
If you don't want to store your API token in plaintext you can use the secure features of weechat:
#+begin_src conf
/secure passphrase this is a super secret password
/secure set slack_token [YOUR_SLACK_TOKEN]
/set plugins.var.python.slack.slack_api_token ${sec.data.slack_token}
