Fonts

My font of choice is nerd-fonts-hack which can be installed as so:

paru -S nerd-fonts-hack

For emojis, use:

paru -S noto-fonts-emoji

Default font used:

  • Monospace Font: Hack Nerd Font Mono
  • Serif Font: Hack Nerd Font
  • Sans Font: Hack Nerd Font

To list all fonts available:

fc-list

To select fonts using a GUI, gtk2fontsel can be used:

paru -S gtk2fontsel

emacs and vim - Text Editors

Neovim

I use Neovim for all the small edits.

Installation:

paru -S neovim nodejs-neovim python-pynvim

The Neovim configuration can be found here.

Then install the plugin manager plug:

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'

And to install/setup all the plugins:

nvim +PlugInstall
nvim +UpdateRemotePlugins

Emacs

I use Emacs and the Doom framework.

Install Emacs:

paru -S emacs-nativecomp

And then the Doom framework:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs ~/.emacs.d
~/.emacs.d/bin/doom install

The Emacs configuration can be found here.

SpellCheck with Aspell:

paru -S aspell aspell-en aspell-fr

SSH setup

Generate a new SSH key:

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

Start the ssh-agent in the background:

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

Add the SSH key to the ssh-agent:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

GnuPG

https://gnupg.org/

Install the gnupg package:

paru -S gnupg

Create a key pair:

paru --full-gen-key

To configure the gpg-agent to cache the passphrase, edit the following file ~/.local/share/gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:

default-cache-ttl 60480000
max-cache-ttl 60480000

Install gnome-keyring to automatically unlock the GnuPG keys:

paru -S gnome-keyring

rofi - Application Launcher

Rofi is a very nice alternative to dmenu.

Installation:

paru -S dmenu rofi rofi-calc

To be able to run sudo commands with rofi (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:

export SUDO_ASKPASS=~/.local/bin/askpass-rofi

The askpass script is:

#!/bin/sh

rofi -dmenu \
     -password \
     -no-fixed-num-lines \
     -p "$(printf "$1" | sed s/://)"

pass - Password Manager

https://www.passwordstore.org/

Installation:

paru -S pass
mkdir .config/pass

Initialize the password store as a git repository

cd .config/pass
pass git init
pass git remote add origin https://github.com/tdehaeze/pass.git

Gui Manager: qtpass

paru -S qtpass

Integration with Rofi: rofi-pass

paru -S rofi-pass

Then we can add a shortcut to rofi-pass on i3 config.

Integration with Git: pass-git-helper

paru -S pass-git-helper

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"
