Here's a breakdown of the key components in this dotfiles setup:

• Hyprland: A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor that doesn't sacrifice on its looks.
• Waybar: A highly customizable Wayland bar.
• Kitty: A fast, feature-rich terminal emulator.
• Fish Shell: A smart and user-friendly command-line shell.
• Nvim: Highly extensible Vim-based text editor

Hyprland is the heart of this setup, providing a smooth and visually appealing desktop environment. Configuration is split into several files under @hypr/UserConfigs/ for better organization. Some noteworthy configuration files are:

• @hypr/hyprland.conf: main Hyprland configuration file.
• @hypr/UserConfigs/Keybinds.conf: Keybindings for Hyprland
• @hypr/UserConfigs/Animations.conf: Animations used in hyprland.
• @hypr/UserConfigs/Monitors.conf: Configures monitors.

Here are some of the most used keybinds you can find in @hypr/UserConfigs/Keybinds.conf:

#Move window with arrow keys
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, left, movewindow, l
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, right, movewindow, r
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, up, movewindow, u
bind = $mainMod SHIFT, down, movewindow, d

#Switch between windows with arrow keys
bind = $mainMod, left, movefocus, l
bind = $mainMod, right, movefocus, r
bind = $mainMod, up, movefocus, u
bind = $mainMod, down, movefocus, d

#Switch to specific workspace
bind = $mainMod, 1, workspace, 1
bind = $mainMod, 2, workspace, 2
bind = $mainMod, 3, workspace, 3
bind = $mainMod, 4, workspace, 4
bind = $mainMod, 5, workspace, 5
bind = $mainMod, 6, workspace, 6
bind = $mainMod, 7, workspace, 7
bind = $mainMod, 8, workspace, 8

Waybar provides essential information and controls in a clean and customizable manner.

• @waybar/config.jsonc: Defines the modules displayed on the bar, their formatting, and behavior.
• @waybar/style.css: Styling for Waybar, including colors, fonts, and spacing.
• @waybar/scripts/waybar-wttr.py: script used to display weather information

To achieve the optimal Firefox setup as seen in this dotfiles repository, follow these steps:

Install the following manually:

• TextFox – a powerful toolkit for text extraction and manipulation.
• Sidebery – a sidebar tab manager and session organizer.

1. Open Firefox and go to: about:profiles

2. Find the path of your active profile (it's your Root Directory).

3. Back up the entire contents of that directory before proceeding(Root Directory).

4. From this dotfiles repository, locate the folder:

firefoxConf/
├── chrome/
└── user.js

5. Copy the entire chrome/ folder into your Firefox Root Directory.

6. Also copy user.js to the same directory.

7. If prompted to replace files, accept and overwrite them.

🧠 Note: Restart Firefox after applying the configuration to see the changes.

This setup provides a customized Firefox experience tailored for better usability, tab management, and visual enhancements.

Kitty is configured for optimal performance and aesthetics.

• @kitty/kitty.conf: Main configuration file, including font settings, colors, and keybindings.
• @kitty/theme.conf: Kitty theme configuration.
• @kitty/kitty-themes/themes/: Directory containing a variety of themes. You can explore different themes from kitty-themes

Fish shell enhances the command-line experience with features like autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, and more.

• @fish/config.fish: Main configuration file for Fish, including aliases, environment variables, and custom functions.
• @fish/functions/: Directory containing custom Fish functions.
• @fish/fish_plugins: Contains list of used plugins. Using Tide prompt

Neovim is configured with LazyVim.

• @nvim/init.lua: Loads LazyVim and custom plugins.
• @nvim/lua/config/: Directory containing configuration files for LazyVim, keymaps, autocommands, and options.
• @nvim/lua/plugins/: Custom plugins for Nvim.

sudo pacman -S hyprland waybar kitty fish neovim wofi pamixer brightnessctl slurp swappy

yay -S wlogout

sudo apt install hyprland waybar kitty fish neovim wofi pamixer brightnessctl slurp swappy wlogout

sudo dnf install hyprland waybar kitty fish neovim wofi pamixer brightnessctl slurp swappy wlogout

Important: Before proceeding, back up your existing configuration files! This ensures you can easily revert to your previous settings if needed.

1. Backup Your Current Configuration:

   Before applying these dotfiles, create backups of your existing configurations. This is crucial! Here are some common locations to back up:

   • Hyprland: ~/.config/hypr
   • Waybar: ~/.config/waybar
   • Kitty: ~/.config/kitty
   • Fish: ~/.config/fish
   • Nvim: ~/.config/nvim

   Use the following commands to create backups (replace hypr, waybar, etc. with the appropriate directory names):

   mkdir ~/.config_backup # If you don't already have a backup directory
   cp -r ~/.config/hypr ~/.config_backup/
   cp -r ~/.config/waybar ~/.config_backup/
   cp -r ~/.config/kitty ~/.config_backup/
   cp -r ~/.config/fish ~/.config_backup/
   cp -r ~/.config/nvim ~/.config_backup/

2. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/dotfiles.git ~/.dotfiles

3. Identify Your Monitor Names:

   Hyprland requires you to specify the names of your monitors in the configuration. To find the correct names, run the following command in your terminal:

   hyprctl monitors | grep -E "Monitor|description"

   This will output information about your connected monitors. Look for the name field for each monitor. For example:

   1) eDP-1 ([email protected]) at 0x0
   2) HDMI-A-1 ([email protected]) at 1920x0
   

   In this case, the monitor names are eDP-1 and HDMI-A-1. Write these down, as you'll need them in the next step!

4. Manually Copy Configuration Files:

   Carefully copy the configuration files from the cloned repository to their respective locations in your home directory. For example:

   • Hyprland:

     cp -r ~/.dotfiles/hypr/* ~/.config/hypr/

     Important: Edit the @hypr/UserConfigs/Monitors.conf file and replace the example monitor names with the actual names you found in the previous step! This is crucial for your setup to work correctly.

   • Waybar:

     cp -r ~/.dotfiles/waybar/* ~/.config/waybar/

   • Kitty:

     cp -r ~/.dotfiles/kitty/* ~/.config/kitty/

   • Fish:

     cp -r ~/.dotfiles/fish/* ~/.config/fish/

   • Nvim:

     cp -r ~/.dotfiles/nvim/* ~/.config/nvim/

   Important: If you encounter files with the same name, carefully review both files and decide whether to replace the existing file, merge the contents, or skip the file.

5. Reload/Restart:

   After copying the files, you'll need to reload or restart the applications for the changes to take effect:

   • Hyprland: Restart Hyprland to apply the new configuration.
   • Waybar: You can either restart Waybar or send it a reload signal (pkill -SIGRTMIN+8 waybar). There's also a reload script located in @hypr/UserConfigs/scripts/reload_waybar
   • Kitty: Kitty should automatically reload the configuration, but you can restart it if needed.
   • Fish: Start a new Fish shell session, or source the config file (source ~/.config/fish/config.fish).
   • Nvim: Open nvim and run :source ~/.config/nvim/init.lua

Here are some of the key Hyprland keybindings for navigation and window management. To see and edit all the keybinds check @hypr/UserConfigs/Keybinds.conf:

• Hyprland
• Waybar
• Kitty
• Fish Shell
• LazyVim
