# `i3` Configuration and Everything
|
||||
|
||||
Pain, but worth it :)
|
||||
Movinya was here :))
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
## 0. List of config files (relative to `$HOME`)
|
||||
- General `i3 configuration file: `.config/i3/config`
|
||||
- Programs configs: (relative to user's `$HOME`)
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
alacritty # .alacritty.yml
|
||||
bash # .bashrc
|
||||
zsh # .zshrc
|
||||
fish # .config/fish/config
|
||||
tmux # .tmux.conf
|
||||
neofetch # .config
|
||||
ssh # .ssh/config
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Visual themes (folders, rather than config file):
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
icons # .icons/
|
||||
themes # .themes/
|
||||
oh-my-bash # .oh-my-bash/
|
||||
oh-my-zsh # .oh-my-zsh/
|
||||
```
|
||||
> NOTE: `.icons/` is also home to themes and cursor themes (default by `lxappearence` too!)
|
||||
|
||||
## Natural Scrolling
|
||||
The default config file for libinput is at `/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf`. Copy it to `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d` then edit it your preferred text editor (with `sudo`)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
nvim /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
|
||||
...
|
||||
Section "InputClass"
|
||||
Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
|
||||
...
|
||||
Option "NaturalScrolling" "on" # add this
|
||||
EndSection
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Network Configuration (wpa\_supplicant & dhcpcd)
|
||||
- NOTE: recommend using NetworkManager for out-of-the-box experience, but using wpa\_supplicant and dhcpcd directly give better control over network management
|
||||
- Configuration locations:
|
||||
- System-wide: `/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf`
|
||||
- User-specific: `$HOME/.config/wpa_supplicant.conf`
|
||||
- Example: `/usr/share/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf`
|
||||
- `wpa_supplicant.conf` configuration:
|
||||
```yml
|
||||
nvim ~/.config/wpa_supplicant.conf
|
||||
---
|
||||
# for normal wifi
|
||||
# Can as well do `wpa_passpharse <ssid> <password> > ~/.config/wpa_supplicant.conf` to generate the psk
|
||||
network={
|
||||
ssid=
|
||||
psk=
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# for education wifi
|
||||
network={
|
||||
ssid="SSID"
|
||||
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
|
||||
EAP=PEAP
|
||||
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
|
||||
identity="USERNAME"
|
||||
password="PASSWORD"
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
- To activate wpa_supplicant:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -D nl80211 -c ~/.config/wpa_supplicant.conf
|
||||
```
|
||||
> Note: the interface (`-i` flag) could be something else, e.g. wlo1. You can check it using the following command:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
ip addr
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Make sure the interface is up/unblock, using:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
ifstat wlo1 # to check
|
||||
ip link set wlo1 up # to unblock interfce
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Set wpa_supplicant to run at boot (systemd):
|
||||
- Create a service file at `/etc/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant@.service`:
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# create file
|
||||
touch /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlo1.conf
|
||||
# copy content
|
||||
cat /home/USER/.config/wpa_supplicant.conf > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlo1.conf
|
||||
# enable the service
|
||||
systemctl enable wpa_supplicant@wlo1
|
||||
```
|
||||
> Note: I expected to enable `dhcpcd@wlo1` as well but it seems to be working without it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bluetooth Configuration
|
||||
- Using `bluetoothctl`, from `bluez-utils` package. Recommend using `blueberry` as the GUI interface.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multiple Displays
|
||||
- hmm
|
||||
|
||||
## Clipboard manager
|
||||
