~/.bashrc

If not running interactively, don't do anything

[[ $- != *i* ]] && return

Bash Completion

[ -r /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ] && . /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

FZF

source /usr/share/fzf/key-bindings.bash

Ignore case for auto-completion

bind "set completion-ignore-case on"
bind "set show-all-if-ambiguous on"

Use Color

use_color=true

Some config

# Unset some variables
unset use_color safe_term match_lhs sh

# Allow local processes with root privileges to connect to the locally running X server
xhost +local:root > /dev/null 2>&1

# Autocomplete sudo commands
complete -cf sudo

# Line wrap on window resize
shopt -s checkwinsize

# Enable history expansion with space
# E.g. typing !!<space> will replace the !! with your last command
bind Space:magic-space

# Expand Aliases
shopt -s expand_aliases

# Auto "cd" when entering just a path
shopt -s autocd

# Enable history appending instead of overwriting
shopt -s histappend

# Save multi-line commands as one command
shopt -s cmdhist

Prompt - PS1

export PS1="\[$(tput bold)\]\[$(tput setaf 1)\][\[$(tput setaf 3)\]\u\[$(tput setaf 2)\]@\[$(tput setaf 4)\]\h \[$(tput setaf 5)\]\W\[$(tput setaf 1)\]]\[$(tput setaf 7)\]\\$ \[$(tput sgr0)\]"

Rebind up and down arrow keys to search through bash history

bind '"\e[A": history-search-backward'
bind '"\e[B": history-search-forward'

Aliases

Better defaults for some commands

alias ls='ls -hN --color=auto --group-directories-first'
alias grep='grep --colour=auto'
alias cp="cp -i"     # confirm before overwriting something
alias df='df -h'     # human-readable sizes
alias free='free -m' # show sizes in MB
alias mutt="neomutt"
alias tmux='tmux -f $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tmux/tmux.conf'

One letter aliases

alias r="ranger"
alias t="tmux"
alias v="nvim"
alias sv='sudo -E nvim'
alias g="git"
alias m="neomutt"
alias o="xdg-open"

Neovim

command -v nvim >/dev/null && alias vim="nvim" vimdiff="nvim -d" # Use neovim for vim if present.

Vim-like

alias :q=exit
alias :e=nvim

Print each PATH entry on a separate line

alias path='echo -e ${PATH//:/\\n}'

Functions

colors - Display colors

colors() {
    local fgc bgc vals seq0

    printf "Color escapes are %s\n" '\e[${value};...;${value}m'
    printf "Values 30..37 are \e[33mforeground colors\e[m\n"
    printf "Values 40..47 are \e[43mbackground colors\e[m\n"
    printf "Value  1 gives a  \e[1mbold-faced look\e[m\n\n"

    # foreground colors
    for fgc in {30..37}; do
        # background colors
        for bgc in {40..47}; do
            fgc=${fgc#37} # white
            bgc=${bgc#40} # black

            vals="${fgc:+$fgc;}${bgc}"
            vals=${vals%%;}

            seq0="${vals:+\e[${vals}m}"
            printf "  %-9s" "${seq0:-(default)}"
            printf " ${seq0}TEXT\e[m"
            printf " \e[${vals:+${vals+$vals;}}1mBOLD\e[m"
        done
        echo; echo
    done
}

tre - Tree display

tre is a shorthand for tree with hidden files and color enabled, ignoring the .git directory, listing directories first. The output gets piped into less with options to preserve color and line numbers, unless the output is small enough for one screen.

function tre() {
    tree -aC -I '.git|node_modules|bower_components' --dirsfirst "$@" | less -FRNX;
}

mkd - Create a new directory and enter it

function mkd() {
    mkdir -p "$@" && cd "$_";
}

fs - Filesize of directory

function fs() {
    if du -b /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1; then
        local arg=-sbh;
    else
        local arg=-sh;
    fi
    if [[ -n "$@" ]]; then
        du $arg -- "$@";
    else
        du $arg .[^.]* ./*;
    fi;
}

nullify - Redirect both standard output and standard error, as well as sending to background

function nullify() {
    "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1
}

sms - Send SMS

https://doronbehar.com/articles/using-kdeconnect-to-comfortably-send-sms-messages-from-the-shell/#kdeconnects-builtin-sms-interface

sms(){
    local args="$@"
    # local phone_number name phone_type
    # khard phone --parsable | sort -u | fzf | IFS=$'\t' read -r phone_number name phone_type
    local phone_number=$(khard phone --parsable | sort -u | fzf | cut -f1 -d$'\t')
    if [[ -z "${phone_number}" ]]; then
        echo No recipient was chosen >&2
        return
    else
        kdeconnect-cli --send-sms "${args}" --destination "${phone_number}" --device 4de3b5de2264a17c
    fi
}

Bash History

Undocumented feature which sets the size to "unlimited". http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9457233/unlimited-bash-history

# Huge history. Doesn't appear to slow things down, so why not?
HISTSIZE=500000
HISTFILESIZE=100000

# Avoid duplicate entries
HISTCONTROL="erasedups:ignoreboth"

# Don't record some commands
export HISTIGNORE="&:[ ]*:exit:ls:bg:fg:history:clear"

# Use standard ISO 8601 timestamp
# %F equivalent to %Y-%m-%d
# %T equivalent to %H:%M:%S (24-hours format)
HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %T '

Change the file location because certain bash sessions truncate .bash_history file upon close. http://superuser.com/questions/575479/bash-history-truncated-to-500-lines-on-each-login

export HISTFILE=~/.bash_eternal_history
