My dotfiles
The following is my dotfiles configuration on my 2021 MacBook Pro 14 inch. It also includes Dynamic Island plugin I made for SketchyBar. Overall my desktop is themed using Catppuccin or Gruvbox Material. These two themes can be toggled by replacing catppuccin config with gruvbox config. I'm fan of vim bindings, so I'm using HJKL keys to navigate between windows (see SKHD), etc.
If you plan on using my dotfiles, I highly suggest you to fork the repository. As this is my personal dotfiles, some changes I make might be drastic.
Yabai is a tiling window manager. I find it difficult to navigate between windows on Mac, especially because it doensn't have advanced window snapping built-in. By using a tiling window manager, I can control all of my windows just by using a keyboard in combination with SKHD.
Some of the apps are ignored by Yabai's tiling window manager system, as they were causing trouble when used with Yabai. E.g. Unity.
I use Yabai with SIP enabled.

I primarily use neovim as my code editor and IDE. My neovim configuration supports following languages:
- Java
- C# (works with Unity)
- Lua
See nvim/lua/user/keymap.lua for all keymaps.
The following are configured key bindings I have configured:
the key Hyper is Tab + Q key. See Karabiner
Coming Soon...
Required for SKHD setup. Tab + Q (simultaeneously) acts as a Hyper key when it's being pressed with another key.
The only noticeable karabiner modification is Hyper + HJKL (Tab + Q + HJKL), which act as arrow keys.
Alacritty is my weapon of choice. Nothing much has been configured to Alacritty, apart from catppuccin theme and disabling the window decorations.
Part of my SKHD configuration and Yabai configuration (and their custom scripts) are from Jesse Skelton
.zshrc config by Luke Smith
The majority of the sketchybar config is from Felix Kratz
