Launcher - Rofi

https://github.com/DaveDavenport/rofi

Alternative:

  • dmenu is sometimes used

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

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

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

https://github.com/keith/edit-weechat

  mkdir -p ~/.weechat/python/autoload
  cd ~/.weechat/python/autoload

  /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

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. 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.
