Desktop Configuration

• Nyxt
• Shell
  • zshrc
  • zprofile
  • zshenv
• Terminal

This .org document is where I store all of my user-level application configuration including shells, terminal emulators, browsers etc.

I prefer to use programs that I can extend the functionality of via configuration files and source code.

Nyxt

Nyxt is a browser written in Common Lisp that follows the same philosophy of extensibility as Emacs. This makes it a perfect companion to an Emacs centered eco-system when you need a browser with more features than Eww.

;; Set default modes when opening Nyxt.
(define-configuration buffer
  ((default-modes (append '(dark-mode
                            vi-normal-mode) %slot-default%))))

;; Keybindings
;; (Note: Override Map will override any other custom keybindings so use a prefix key.)
(define-configuration buffer
  ((override-map (define-key %slot-default%
                   "C-x s" 'nyxt/web-mode:search-buffers
                   "C-x d" 'delete-current-buffer))))

;; todo: Redirect reddit to teddit
;; (defun old-reddit-handler (request-data)
;;   (let ((url (url request-data)))
;;     (setf (url request-data)
;;           (if (search "reddit.com" (quri:uri-host url))
;;               (progn
;;                 (setf (quri:uri-host url) "old.reddit.com")
;;                 (log:info "Switching to old Reddit: ~s" (render-url url))
;;                 url)
;;               url)))
;;   request-data)

;; (define-configuration web-buffer
;;   ((request-resource-hook
;;     (hooks:add-hook %slot-default% (make-handler-resource #'old-reddit-handler)))))
;; (See url-dispatching-handler for a simpler way to achieve the same result.)

Shell

Aside from using e-shell for quick command line usage, I mainly use vterm with Zsh. It's a bit of a complicated setup but allows for the maximum number of files possible to live in .config instead of littering my home directory.

zshrc

zprofile

# Each new shell auto-imports all environment variables.
# Hence exporting needs to be done only once.
# Also, all non-login shells are descendants of a login shell.
# Ergo, exports need to be done in the login shell only.
# Hence, we put exports in .zprofile

# Only vars needed by external commands should be exported.
# Note that you can export vars w/out assigning a value to them.
