Dotfiles

My personal development configuration files for:

• alacritty — Fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator
• git — Distributed version control system
• neovim — Hyperextensible Vim-based text editor
• tmux — Terminal multiplexer
• vifm — File manager with curses interface providing a Vim-like environment
• zsh — Shell designed for interactive use
• ...

The configurations are maintained using Nix with Home Manager and are actively tested on Ubuntu (22.04 LTS, 23.04), Manjaro and macOS (Big Sur, Ventura), but should work on any other Linux or macOS system.

Features

The configuration files provide a modern terminal-only development environment that is heavily focused on vim-style navigation with minimal mouse usage.

• Alacritty

  • Support for special keys on macOS so that key-bindings (e.g. Alt) work as expected

  • Lua-based configuration

  • Plugin management using Packer

    • Bootstrapping of all plugins (installation upon first launch)

  • Code completion using coc

    • Install language support using, e.g. :CocInstall coc-python coc-cmake coc-json
