Emacs, bspwm, herbstluftwm, swaywm I did not properly track the progress after the release of tag v2.2.0. A lot has changed since then. In short: + I had quit bspwm for a few months, then switched back to it. + Tried Sway for a couple of weeks and kept it as a plan B or alternative for the inevitable Wayland future. + Configured herbstluftwm which is good for an ultrawide display. Everything related to those window managers is underdocumented. My Emacs-related contributions continues to increase in volume and improve in quality. Better check my website for more on the matter: <https://protesilaos.com/emacs>.

Version 2.0.0: working system on Void GNU/Linux There have been A LOT of breaking changes since the last tagged commit (90b190a). Not only have I switched away from Debian, but I have also transitioned to a full-time Emacs user. To that end, lots of standalone tools, like `newsboat' or `mutt' have been removed. The changes in outline: + A comprehensive config for Emacs is available. It encompasses, among many others, packages for email (`mu4e') and RSS (`elfeed'). I have also removed the entire MPD setup, replacing it instead with a simpler, more elegant solution inside of Emacs (`bongo'). + Tmux has been removed. Same with every program that is rendered obsolete by Emacs. + Vim stays but is not actively used. + Lots of old scripts have either been rewritten or deleted. + Other aspects have been considered anew, leading to the removal of `compton' and `dunst' configurations, as well as the replacement of all `dmenu' interfaces with `rofi'. + There now is a `xinit' set of configurations. The graphical session is launched from a TTY. The initialisation of the X server is automatic under certain conditions. This supersedes older settings that assumed the presence of a graphical Display Manager (e.g. `lightdm'). Despite these major reforms, I consider the transition to both Void GNU/Linux and Emacs a work-in-progress. I do, however, feel that the present state is robust enough to merit a tagged release.

Fixes inconsistency in `tempus' This concerned a couple of options for bspwmrc, which were not written to the file, even though they were passed to the running session. Changes must be stored in bspwmrc to persist.

v1.0.1-pdfd47d55915 · ·
Fixes poorly designed key in .tmux.conf This concerns an issue where Ctrl+Shift+f was _supposed_ to invoke a search in the scroll buffer. Instead, tmux would pick Ctrl-f, ignoring shift altogether. Furthermore, the workflow of this key was cumbersome. Upon exiting the search, tmux would remain in copy-mode, thus requiring another key to exit. This key combo was added on June 30, 2019, in commit dfd7f8c.

Version 1 of code for "Prot's Dots for Debian" "Prot's Dots For Debian" (PDFD) is the book that guides you through the process of reproducing my custom desktop session on Debian 10 'buster'. PDFD provides detailed information on every aspect of my setup. It is available free of charge and is distributed under a copyleft license (Creative Common Attribution-ShareAlike): https://protesilaos.com/pdfd This version was preceded by five beta releases, released between April 24 and June 4, 2019. It is the biggest release to date and includes a lot of refinements across the board. Its focus was on improving existing functionality and adding some new features for power users. Starting with the latter: 1. Dynamic desktops for BSPWM. This radically changes the approach to desktop management. We no longer set a fixed number of desktops per monitor, but rather allow for greater flexibility. Desktops are created or removed on the spot. 2. BSPWM smart preselection and concomitant external rules. These concern manual tiling operations. They leverage three aspects of the window manager: preselections, receptacles, the "marked" node flag. Also documented in detail in the aforementioned chapter. 3. Multifaceted operations for BSPWM. These allow for actions over multiple selection paths. Documented in greater detail in the chapter mentioned above. A comprehensive guide to all three of them is offered in the PDFD chapter about the advanced features of my BSPWM. Fixes and improvements encompass a range of files. In short: 1. Live theme changes are now handled by a new script `tempus`. This replaces `own_script_update_environment_theme` and is superior in terms of design and responsiveness. 2. Update colours based on the latest releases of the Tempus themes generator: https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/tempus-themes-generator 3. Improve code checks in bashrc and bswpmrc. 4. Update SXHKD keys. 5. Improve the code of melonpanel (top bar). Make sure everything is more robust and better overall. 6. Refine Xterm's settings to cope better with demanding needs. 7. Refine Tmux settings. Make it easier to enter copy-mode and to search for text in the scroll buffer. 8. Review and improve some scripts. Rename them where appropriate.

v1.0.0-pdfd_beta50538c1dc · ·
Beta 5 of "Prot's Dots For Debian" (PDFD) This version contains some major adjustments compared to beta version 4. The most noticeable one is the switch from `mate-terminal` to `xterm` as the default terminal emulator. Another important change is the modularisation of the SXHKD configs. They are now splits into two files: one for actions that pertain to the Window Manager and another for WM-independent commands. Several key chords have been reviewed as well. Other issues include code fixes as well as the use of bold fonts for the focused desktop on the panel as well as the focused window in the tmux status line. In general these two status areas try to have the same "visual language" to keep things consistent. Tempus Totus has been reviewed. It now has improved contrast between the accept values, while keeping its look and feel. Overall, this is my favourite among the light themes in the Tempus collection. Last but not least, the `bin` directory now includes two new utilities that may or may not be useful to other users: (i) `tmr` is a simple timer that accepts an argument that represents a valid unit of time such as 10m for 10 minutes or 60s for 60 seconds, and (ii) `clr` which prints the contrast ratio between two colours defined in hexadecimal RGB notation.

Commits since v1.0.0-pdfd_beta2 ------------------------------- ~/dotfiles $ git log v1.0.0-pdfd_beta2..HEAD --oneline e70d748 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Minor refinements to the bspwm external rules 968a916 Further tweaks to tmux pane styles dc3406c Review tmux window and pane border styles 2f87567 MAJOR CHANGE: Simplify melonpanel bspwm module 49d20d9 Tweak tmux status line 2bd94a2 Update tmux key bindings 6d28ad1 Update compton config 3476313 Tweak bspwm border colours 73e8946 Fix typo in README 82d8ce7 Minor fix to bspwm_focus_mode af84a71 Add BSPWM focus mode 7f4a726 Add Compton toggle 860ca7f Remove ALL Vim folds 81605b6 BREAKING CHANGES: Simplify .vimrc b6409d0 Minor change to "date" module in melonpanel 2391c9c Simplify own_script_local_build_tempus_themes fa85c49 Update Tempus themes 9a26535 Refinements to melonpanel fonts f4882e2 Minor update to PTP 93b0734 PTP: new script to Print Tempus Palette 85ddef6 Tweak xrandr command for laptop colours c3c1c47 Minor refinements to melonpanel b229596 Minor code refinements bd61083 Minor correction 923e07b Rewrite dotsmenu script 08a8d1f Minor update to own_script_mate_setup da15d3c Set underline colour for keyboard layout module 129a555 Add TODO items for dotsmenu Noteworthy changes ------------------ 1. Add BSPWM "focus mode". This is a script that removes gaps, padding, and the panel from the viewport. The borders between nodes overlap, further reducing the visual clutter. Focus mode is assigned to this key chord chain: super + e ; f 2. Add a new script that toggles the display compositor (compton) on/off. This is particularly useful under resource-intensive scenarios, where disabling the compositor may be a good idea. The key chord chain is: super + e ; c. 3. Improved compton's config file. Now it has smoother transitions that eliminate, or at least reduce, choppiness. 4. Updated the tmux config. 1. Added key bindings for swapping windows with their adjacent one to the left or right (M-S-{Left,Right}). 2. Key bindings to split the entire window horizontally or vertically. This is different from the default behaviour than splits the active pane. Keys are <prefix> {S,V}. 3. Simplify the colours used in the status line. Rely more on typography to denote the active window. 4. Review and address some issues with the styles of the pane borders. Now navigation should be clearer, even when running in a TTY. 5. Redefine background elements to allow for transparency, if the underlying terminal provides as much. 5. Major changes to the Melonpanel, especially its BSPWM module. I already have a detailed description in this commit message: 2f8756716494b3dd247aa5118b6bd6cd07bc2582 6. Fix some critical errors in two items of the Tempus themes: Tempus Future and Tempus Warp. Now their "background dim" colour is set correctly. Overall, this is a minor adjustment whose underlying mechanics are more complex. For more on that, refer to the Tempus themes generator, specifically its CHANGELOG version 1.0.0.20190507. https://gitlab.com/protesilaos/tempus-themes-generator. 7. Add PTP, a script that prints a table with the active Tempus theme colours. The colour values are represented in their original hexadecimal notation.
