dotfiles

Prerequisite

• Copy this to ~/dotfiles
• Then run:

$ cd ~/dotfiles
$ chmod +x install.sh
$ ./install.sh
$ git clone [email protected]:mbadolato/iTerm2-Color-Schemes.git ~/dotfiles/iTerm2/iTerm2-Color-Schemes

You may need this:

$ mkdir ~/.vim-backupdir
$ mkdir ~/.vim-directory

Install zsh

$ brew install zsh zsh-completions

Otherwise: Check the How to install zsh in many platforms

Install oh my zsh

$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
$ rm ~/.zshrc
$ ln -s ~/dotfiles/.zshrc .zshrc
$ source ~/.zshrc

Using z to jump to “recent” folders

$ brew install z

Install nvm

$ brew install nvm

$ mkdir ~/.nvm

Install a node version you need on the current machine

Iterm2

https://iterm2.com/downloads.html

Once iterm is opened, go to Preferences > General > Preferences and check Load preferences... and set folder to ~/dotfiles/iTerm2.

To install Powerline fonts

git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git --depth=1
cd fonts
./install.sh
cd ..
rm -rf fonts

In iTerm2 access the Preferences pane on the Profiles tab. Under the Text tab change the font for each type (Regular and Non-ASCII) to ‘Inconsolata for Powerline’. (Refer to the powerline-fonts repo for help on font installation.)

Comments are highlighted in vanilla vim

This is happening because you have italics enabled, but some combination of your iTerm2 reported terminal type and terminfo database is causing italics to be displayed incorrectly.

1. In iTerm2 preferences, on the “Terminal” tab, for the “Report Terminal Type:” setting, select “xtern-256color” if it’s not already selected
2. In a shell, run tic ~/dotfiles/iTerm2Fix
3. Quit and restart iTerm2
4. Vim should now display italics properly

Install ripgrep (required for CocSearch)

Install spellcheck dictionary

Normally we should be prompt to download the missing. But most of the time this may be disabled by a plugin... The work around is to start with no config vim -u none. At that point you may or not need to do the manual setup of options. Like set spelllang=en, fr, en and then set spell. Hopefully you are given with the prompt with the option to download or decline.

This may not be necessary if it's able to pickup the dictionary from my dotfiles.

TMUX

Install Vim plugins

Once vim open execute: :PlugInstall

Tmux

Install tmux

$ brew install tmux

Remap caps lock to Ctrl if combined with key

In case of keyboard layout issue like this one: pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements#1426 (comment) follow the instructions there.

Make sure that all keyboards in System Preferences have Caps lock key mapped to Caps lock key.

Hopefully the install script manage to copy the custom-capslock.json file to Karabiner config folder. If not cherry pick the commands from the install.sh file.

In Karabiner go to Complex Modification and use the Add rule button. You should see the Change caps_lock to control if pressed.... Enable it. Update the value, in Parameters tab of to_if_alone_timeout_milliseconds to 500.

Reattach to user namespace wrapper

Connects tmux to the OS X clipboard service. Useful for copy mode.

brew install reattach-to-user-namespace
