SSH setup

Generating a new SSH key 

  ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "dehaeze.thomas@gmail.com"

Launcher - Rofi

https://github.com/DaveDavenport/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

https://www.passwordstore.org/

Install the pass package 

yay -S pass

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

https://github.com/carnager/rofi-pass

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

https://github.com/languitar/pass-git-helper

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"

Integration with qutebrowser

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:

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' ''

Web Interface

Run:

bukuserver run --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5001

And then browse to http://127.0.0.1:5001.

Cheatsheet

Command Usage
buku Run buku interactively

  config.bind(',p', 'spawn --userscript password_fill')

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

Integration with Buku

Custom key binding in ~/.config/qutebrowser/config.py

# Add current page to Buku (Bookmark Manager)
config.bind('B', 'spawn buku -a {url}')

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

Theme manager

The idea would be to have a command that changes the theme of all the system.

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_SHELL="$HOME/.base16-manager/chriskempson/base16-shell/"
[ -n "$PS1" ] && \
    [ -s "$BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh" ] && \
        eval "$("$BASE16_SHELL/profile_helper.sh")"

Possible theme managers:

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.
