A OneDark inspired MacOS theme (rice)
To install my dotfiles all you need is the command line. Chezmoi will do everything for you!
I am now using Dotbot instead of Chezmoi to manage my dotfiles because dotbot makes it easier to edit your dotfiles in your homedirectory instead of in the chezmoi directory. I found it far more convenient to use with a single yaml config file. Thanks @randallwc!
$ git clone https://github.com/domogami/.dotfiles.git
$ cd .dotfiles
$ ./installThis command will establish symbolic links between your home directory and the .dotfiles directory
These are the tools that I have found most helpful when attempting to design the perfect version of MacOS. All of these tools have contributed in some way to my current MacOS setup.
I am using iTerm2 as my primary terminal because of its customizability, tabular ability, and native window tiling. I began using iTerm2 over 2 years ago and I have grown to love it. I am using a custom color scheme that takes inspiration from OneDark but uses a transparency effect and blur radius to let the trees in my background come through.
Alfred 4 was one of the best purchases I made for my Mac. Alfred is a spotlight replacement that extends far beyond the capabilities of spotlight. Alfred allows for "workflows" which are sequences of commands that can be executed including launching applications, running code or scripts, opening a specific file/directory in a specific application, etc.
Fig is one of my most used terminal applications that I use every single day. Fig will autocomplete and suggest file paths as you type them in the terminal. Frequently used paths will be suggested and all of them can be easily inserted with tab. Fig also lists all available flags for a command which can be extremely helpful in some cases.
Übersicht is a powerful MacOS widget that allows MacOS to render widgets like my wallpaper clock and my bar at the top that displays my spaces and important information on the right.
Yabai has completely changed the way I use MacOS and has boosted my productivity exponentially. Yabai allows navigation between spaces with keyboard shortcuts and automatically tiles windows using binary space partitions. It also allows for inactive windows to have a different opacity and allows the active window and non-active windows to have customizable borders.
SKHD is a tool built for yabai that allows a user to set all of the keybindings that will be used for yabai to function. For example, I have hyper + h to focus the left window and hyper + l to focus the right window. I can also move to space 2 instantly using hyper + 2.
Karabiner is a tool that I use to map the caps lock key to hyper (cmd + ctrl + option) because I found that I never use the caps lock key for any reason. This has proven incredibly helpful and allows me to continue using Yabai on keyboards that are non-programmable.
I love using Simplebar because of its clean aesthetic and seamless integration with Yabai. To the left you can see a visual representation of your MacOS spaces and which space you are currently viewing. This helps me visually separate each space and easily remember which spaces can be accessed with each keybinding. After using simple-bar for a while I began using simple-bar-lite which is a minimal version of simple-bar which I enjoy for now.
LunarVim has been my recent text editor of choice. As an extension of NeoVim it features many of the expected shortcuts macros that come with Vim with helpful additions like Telescope, a language server, and keyboard shortcuts that are easier to learn with the help of popups.
Spotify-tui is my primary spotify client that I can use from the terminial with vim shortcuts. It is easy to enter and navigate and features intuitive keybindings.
Htop is a terminal process viewer to easily view active tasks and visualize resource usage.
NeoFetch is a command line tool that displays system information and hardware with an ASCII art logo of your operating system icon. I love this little tool so much that I have it run every time I open a new terminal by adding it to my .zshrc file.
Pipes is a fun terminal screensaver and background eye candy that I love to have running when I have extra screen space. These animated pipes will brighten your day one pipe at a time.
Tty-clock is a terminal clock that stands out for its block design and is nice to have when coding to remind yourself of how long it has been since you have gotten up.
After taking many mathematics courses in university I wrote quite a lot of LaTeX. Senior year, I switched to using vim with LaTeX snippets to save time which worked phenomenally. However, having to compile latex myself instead of using a tool like Overleaf meant that I needed to use a pdf reader. On my search for finding the perfect pdf reader I found Zathura which allows for custom colors and features vim shortcuts to scroll through the pdf.
I love Oh-My-Zsh because of its incredible aesthetic and customizability. Combined with p10k and a font that supports nerd icons the command line looks stunning.
Originally I was using Hack Nerd Font and grew to really enjoy it, however I realized that it does not support ligatures which is something that I really enjoy having. Luckily, the user pyrho has added ligatures to Hack Nerd Font w/ Ligatures! This has become my go-to font of choice.
