These dotfiles are for Arch Linux
- Personal scripts are in
~/.local/bin - Settings for:
See Anand Iyer's article.
The dmenu_vpns script looks at .config/openfortivpn and
.config/openconnect for config files and lists them as options.
This menu is bound to super + v. If you select one, it will
connect to the VPN in an st terminal with the class st-vpn and
a relevant title. This class is used in the bspwmrc to send the
terminal to the #10 desktop, VPN.
The vpninfo script is used as a custom script by polybar to output
the currently connected VPNs to a polybar module. This is convenient.
These two combined have reduced the necessity of nm-applet for me, so
I no longer have nm-applet installed.
When creating normal openconnect config files, passwd and host are not options. However, for my scripts to work properly, they require passwd and host options. These options are read then used for openconnect.
This menu uses the resblu script to reset bluetooth devices. The motivation for this script and its dmenu arose from issues due to dual booting Windows and Arch Linux. For some reason, when I return to Arch Linux from Windows, my bluetooth devices no longer connect, and I have to remove/trust/pair/connect them each time.
dmenu_resblu requires that ~/.config/bluetooth/addresses.txt
be defined. See the example in this repo. The <device-id>
is the MAC Address of the bluetooth device found in bluetoothctl
during scan. dmenu_resblu parses this file, presents each
bluetooth device as an option in dmenu, and will run resblu
for the one you select. resblu will then reset that bluetooth
device. Be sure the bluetooth device is ready to pair before
trying to reset.
resbluis very buggy at the moment. Sometimes it doesn't wait long enough for the device to be discovered, so it fails to connect. Other times, it'll completely crash the bluetooth service, and the bluetooth service will have to be manually restarted. Also, I need to figure out how to know success/fail and use notify-send to update the user.
Opens a dmenu of existing tmux sessions. If you select a tmux
session that exists and isn't open, it will open it. If you
select a tmux session that exists and is open, it will focus
it. If you type a new session name and press shift+enter,
it will open a new tmux session.
If no instance of st-tizonia exists, present options for playlists
and open the selected playlist in tizonia with a window class of
st-tizonia. If st-tizonia already exists, present options to change
playlist or focus st-tizonia. If focus, simply focus the window
with class st-tizonia. If change, present options for playlists
and open the selected playlist in tizonia with a window class of
st-tizonia.
Opens a dmenu that lists files from .config/ibmicmd. These files have a certain
format. Please see example server.
When one is selected, dmenu will prompt the user for an IBM i command to run. Once a command
has been entered, stprompt
will prompt the user for the IBM i password. It will then run ibmicmd with the proper options
to run the command on IBM i. A notification of success/failure will be sent with notify-send.
Example flow:
dmenu_ibmicmd # Or keyboard shortcut to call it
# Choose server in dmenu
# Enter "STRTCPSVR *SSHD"
# Enter IBM i password
# Wait for notify-send to show success/failure
The dmenu_configs script will open a menu that lists config files.
This menu is bound to super + e. The selected config file will be
opened in vim in an st terminal that has the class of
st-config-dotfile and a relevant title. The class is used in the
bspwmrc to send the terminal to the #8 desktop, CNF.
These menu items are made manually. You'll have to add the config files you want to add to this menu by editing the script.
The dmenu_phpstorm script will traverse through the Sites
directory, which is what I maintain as my PhpStorm project
directory. You can edit the script to fit your needs.
As you traverse the directories, you can open a directory, which will open it in PhpStorm. If you select a file, it will open that file in vim for quick editing.
WARNING: This script was made on a whim and is probably buggy. Will evolve.
The dmenu_calcurse script will look in ~/.config/calcurse
for individual calcurse configs. For example,
~/.config/calcurse/personal and ~/.config/calcurse/work.
These config folders are then listed in dmenu.
This menu is bound to super + alt + c. If one is selected,
calcurse is launched with that configuration in an st terminal
with the class st-calcurse. This class is used in the bspwmrc
to send the terminal to the #3 desktop, TRM.
The resblu script uses expect to script remove/trust/pair/connect
with bluetoothctl. It accepts the MAC Address of a bluetooth device
as the option. It's mostly used in conjuction with dmenu_resblu.
The cas script can be used to quickly change audio sources.
I use it to write keybindings that allow me to quickly switch
between bluetooth and analong speakers. For example,
super + alt + 1 changes my audio output to analog speakers,
and super + alt + 2 changes my audio output to bluetooth.
The scs script simply outputs sxhkd hotkeys with their
comments to fzf, allowing for a quick fuzzy search of hotkeys.
It's basically a cheat sheet for sxhkd hotkeys. The main use
is for popping up a helpful, floating terminal window that can
used to search hotkeys and quickly closed by typing enter. This
is bound to super + question (?).
This requires Access Client Solutions be installed. RMTCMD must also be enabled on IBM i for this to work.
My main career is one that makes me deal with IBM i servers most of the time.
I try to do as much work as I can through SSH and BASH instead of Telnet and
"Green Screen". These days, I mainly only open Green Screen to run trivial commands
like STRTCPSVR *SSHD, which will start SSH and allow me to work in my normal
workflow. It's tedious to open Green Screen simply to start SSH and exit.
This is the motivation behind ibmicmd, which is a simple script that can
run trivial commands on IBM i. For example:
ibmicmd -s <ibmi-ip> -u <username> -c "STRTCPSVR *SSHD"It will prompt for a password, run the command, and exit.
A simple script that opens a terminal to prompt with hidden text. This is
useful when asking for a user's password. See use in
dmenu_ibmicmd.
There's a rule in the bspwmrc to force this prompt to be floating.
