THIS IS STILL DEVELOPING and always will! PR/issues are very welcome.
This config is for my arch/hyprland setup. It is made for a Laptop and a PC (in a multimonitor setup, with (sadly) a nvidia graphicscard). Some of those configs I use on my (dualbooted-)windows pc too. (eg. nvim/alacritty)
Make sure to install the packages needed for this config. (some dependencies are listed in each section, for a fuller list look into #packages in the #Appendix)
This config uses the Universal Wayland Session Manager (uwsm) many (hyprland) parts will break without this dependency.
I use an install script ./installV*.sh to (sym-)link my local git with the config folders (mostly in ~/.config/) and move some files around. (Look at the security warning in the file!) [WIP]
(If u fork this first, u can sync and save your own configs)
Clone the repo into a folder of your choosing and run the install script ./installV0.sh.
(!! the script is very fragile, change the variables in the script and look what it does !!)
(most old files that the script will find it will move to ~/.config/.bak/)
Currently some files still need to be moved manually. Most of them are files outside of ~/.config/.
TODO: make it more interactive (with an -a option?)
the old method can be found here

[general]
import = ["../../Local/alacritty/alacritty.toml"]
to %APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.toml
(/bash/)
My config is split into two/three parts:
- custom.bashrc (general settings)
- aliases.bashrc (aliases for commands)
- [~/.bashrc (for device specific settings, not fully in this git)]
More Info
add this to your ~/.bashrc (or similar) to source the files:
# fetches the config file for bash (if it exists)
# $customBashConfig_path is the path to the custom config file
customBashConfig_path="$HOME/.config/bash/custom.bashrc"
if [ -f "$customBashConfig_path" ]; then
source $customBashConfig_path
else
echo "path to config not found ($customBashConfig_path)"
fi
Some more infos are in the files.
(be careful when setting environment variables)
I use trash-dAUR as a drop in replacement for rm (TODO: look into autotrashAUR)
(/bottom/)
Config for a graphical process/system monitor for the terminal. You can launch it by running btm or (within this config) by pressing Ctr+Shift+Esc.
Details
#### Keymappings `?` : open help menu `e` : focus/fullscreen current selection `q` : close `Esc` : unfullscreen / close dialogs, search `+-=` : zoom in/out/reset in Processes: `/` : search `dd` : send a signal to the selected process(/dunst/)
A notification (service) daemon, after cloning and installing this git, all files should already be linked correctly (some explanations for the options are in the file)
Some settings only work on X11! (those are be marked)
There is a custom script restartDunst.sh that restarts dunst and sends some notifications (if any $1 is given), to easily test changes in dunstrc.
(/other/.gitconfig, /other/.gitignore_global)
Copy the parts of .gitconfig that u like into ~/.gitconfig. It has some useful aliases.
Replace the placeholders if needed (eg. {email}, {computerName}).
(fully replacing your old config-file is not recommended)
There is also a global .gitignore with explanations how to use/activate in the file.
(/hypr/hypridle.conf)
An idle deamon. To start it automatically on system startup (with systemd) run:
systemctl --user enable --now hypridle.service
Needs: hyprland hyprlock
(/hypr/)
A wayland native (tiling/hybrid) window manager.
This config is split into 4(+) parts:
- hyperland.conf (the main config file)
- look-feel.conf (animations, borders, gaps, ...)
- window-rules.conf (rules on how windows/layers/workspaces/apps behave)
- maps.conf (key mappings)
- plugins.conf (plugins, including plugin keymappings) (non are used currently)
Many explanations are in the config files.
This config uses the Universal Wayland Session Manager (uwsm) and many parts will not work with out this dependency.
See https://wiki.hyprland.org/Useful-Utilities/Systemd-start/
! This config DISABLES touch devices !
Keymappings:
SUPER+CTR+L : close/exit/logout-menu (wlogout)
SUPER+Q : opens $terminal (alacritty)

SUPER+R : run a program (tofi)
SUPER+C : close active window
SUPER+[1-0] : go to workspace [1-10]
SUPER+S : go to special workspace
SUPER+SHIFT+[1-0] : move current window to workspace [1-10]
SUPER+CTRL+[1-0] : move current window to workspace (silently) [1-10]
SUPER+SIFT+S : move current window to special workspace
SUPER+V : toggle floating (for the active window)
SUPER+P : pin the active windows (to stay visible on all workspaces)
SUPER+O : toggle split Orientation (how the (old) window was split)
SUPER+I : switch split side

SUPER+D : program drawer (nwg-drawer)
(for more keymappings look into /hypr/maps.conf or /hypr/plugins.conf)
Move windows with SUPER+LeftMouse/SUPER+Space, resize them withSUPER+RightMouse/SUPER+ALT+Space (use SHIFT to keep the aspect ratio) or right-clicking on the edges and dragging.
Plugins/Extensions:
(/hyprswitch/)
CLI/GUI to switch between window in hyprland (hyprswitchAUR)
The daemon should get started with hyprland. There is also a custom script restartHyprswitch.sh to (re-)start the hyprswitch daemon.
Needs: egnrseTheme.css hyprswitchAUR
- Hyprspace
window overview (
SUPER+Tab)(not used anymore) - hypergrass better touch-screen support (not used anymore)
Hyprland needs: uwsmAUR alacritty tofiAUR waybar xdg-terminal-execAUR wlogoutAUR dunst nemo nwg-drawer wvkbd-laptop bottom pa-notifyAUR
Works nicely with: hypridle hyprlock xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland
(/hypr/hyprlock.conf)
A screen lock config. It needs egnrseTheme.conf for the colors.
(/io.github.zefr0x.ianny/)
Utility that periodically informs the user to take breaks. Change the reminder periods in ./io.github.zefr0x.ianny/config.toml.
Should get started with hyprland. There is also a custom script restartIanny.sh to (re-)start Ianny.
(/nvim/)
Some explanations of the settings are in the files. The setup Leader-Key is Space. (meaning: some shortcuts start with the Space-Key)
- Main setup in
init.lua - Custom keymapings in
lua/maps.lua - Lazy Plugin Manager in
lua/config/lazy.lua(type:Lazywithin nvim for the plugin menu)
Settings for the plugins are in their files (lua/plugins/*.lua)- bufferline (top bar with file tabs)
- cmp (autocompletion)
- colorscheme (tokyodark)
- lualine (status line)
- lush (color schemecreator, not used yet)
- markdown (some inline rendering)
- nvim-autopairs (autocomplete brackes and more)
- nvim-lint (linting (eg. marking wrong code) WIP)
- nvim-tree (file explorer) {Leader+E}
- misc (eg. nvim-colorizer)
Linting is still a WIP. You might need a bash-language-server.
(/nwg-drawer/)
A program drawer with math / filesearch (currently disabled for performace reasons) support. Same usage as tofi, but slower and more graphical (eg. program icons/categories)
Is silently started with some custom options when hyprland starts. You can also find those options in the restart-nwg-drawer.sh script.
Use the math function by searching for eg. 8*4. The answer will be shown in a popup when pressing ENTER.
Needs: egnrseTheme.css
(/rofi/)
Similar to tofi, used for the custom wifimenu (of waybar). For wayland use the rofi-wayland package (and NOT rofi).
(/scripts/)
Some of my custom scripts used by other configs (eg. waybar, hyprland).
This config expects to find them in $HOME/.local/share/bin/scripts.
Some scripts have settings/dependencies that are written in the top of the scripts. Some of the scripts will warn about and handle missing dependencies gracefully. (sadly not all of them yet)
General Needs (for some of the scripts):
(/other/sddm.conf)
A display manager for X11 and Wayland sessions. I use it to login into accounts and select which compositer I want to use. It also allows me to select which compositor to login into, in the bottom left corner. (I also have KDE-Plasma installed (from the plasma-meta package))
U can also select hyprland with and without uwsm, this config expects to be started managed by uwsm.
Copy the config to /etc/sddm.conf.d/sddm.c
6D40
onf. If there are other config files already there, make sure sddm will read it last (see man 5 sddm.conf).
A easy way to style sddm is with the KDE-System-Settings.
(TODO: look into QtQuick for theme design, fix onscreen-keyboard env? kde_wayland?)
Needs: breeze (the theme used)
(/environment.d/)
Some environment variables for systemd. Prob. not well done currently. (!! is setting wayland variables !!)
(/tofi/)
A (very fast) wayland app launcher, with two themes. Select which one is active in config. oldConf has more explaining comments.
Needs: /usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMNerdFont-Regular.ttf (look into Nerd-Font)
(/other/.vimrc)
This is a very simple setup that I use, when I can't use nvim. The Leader-Key is Space. (meaning: some shortcuts start with the Space-Key)
Copy the file to ~/, some infos are in the file. I use Plug as a Plugin Manager, it should autoinstall itself. This configs should work on Win10 and Linux.
some Settings/usage Help
Currently, all settings are in one file (~/.vimrc)
Plugins:
- lightline (statusline)
- vim-markdown
- NERDTree (file explorer) {Leader+E}
- vim-autotag (update ctags on file save)
For how to use ctags look into #ctags under Misc.
The config file explains it the best, but...
Some key mappings: (remember = Space)
Ctr-s : save file (buffer)
<leader>tn : new tab (functions like tabs in eg. vscode)
<leader><Tab> : switch to next tab (functions like tabs in eg. vscode)
<leader>td : close tab (tab delete)
<leader>tD : force close tab (tab delete!)
<leader>bn : switch to next buffer(= open file) (in the current tab) (buffer next)
<leader>bd : close current buffer (buffer delete)
<leader>bD : force close current buffer (buffer delete!)
Ctr- hjkl : move to the buffer window in this direction (like Ctr-W hjl)
<leader>| : split window vertically (Ctr-W v)
<leader>- : split window horizontally (Ctr-W s)
<leader>wm : maximize window
C-Arrows : resize current window
<leader>th : open a terminal in a new horizontal split (terminal horizontal)
<leader>tv : open a terminal in a new vertical split
<Esc><Esc> : exit terminal mode, close popups
<leader>} : open definition in a preview window (Ctr-W })
C-e : toggle filemanager
:Q : close all (qa)

gd/gD : go to declaration (local/global)
Ctr-] : jump to tag (eg. function/variable definition)
Ctr-T : jump back (from tags)
50G : jump to line 50
gg/G : jump to start/end of file
Ctr-o : jump the jumplist back
Ctr-i : jump the jumplist forward
Ctr-W } : open definition in a preview window (close it with Ctr-W z)
Ctr-W ] : open definition in a new window (switch window)
Ctr-W n : open a new empty window
Ctr-W c : close current window
Ctr-W o : close (all) other windows
Ctr-W r : rotate all windows
Ctr-W : : same as typeing : (also works in the command line)
[i : shows first mention in file in command line (show identifier)
[I : shows ALL mentions in a file in the command line
Ctr-R = : in INSERT mode, calculate the next thing u type and inserts it
:%s/pat/rep/gc: search and replace all instances of pat with rep (g: globally, c: ask before each (choice))
K : open man/help page of focused command
:ls/:tabs : list open buffer/tabs
(/waybar/)
A wayland statusbar, with some custom scripts for extra functionality. U can right/left-click or scroll on many modules.
There is a custom script reloadConfig.sh that reloads the configuration, to easily test changes for waybar.
There is also a custom wifimenu, a custom package update helper and many other features.
The config is split into multiple parts:
- config.jsonc (main config)
- modules.jsonc (settings for most modules)
- modules/* (settings for all other modules)
- style.css (styling)
- theme.css (colors used by style.css, imports
egnrseTheme.css) - scripts (some scripts for extra functionality)
Needs:
- uwsmAUR (for some app starts)
scripts/(some scripts from this gits scripts folder)- egnrseTheme.css (in this git)
- wlogout (custom powermenu)
- wayland
- hyprctl (included in hyprland)
- a notification service (eg. dunst)
- rofi-wayland (for the custom wifi-menu, u can also mostly use rofi)
- networkmanager
- blueman-manager (bluetooth gui)
- wireplumber (audio-server, config has to be changed for it to work with ALSA only)
- pwvucontrolAUR helvum coppwr(flatpak) (audio-management gui) Others: jq playerctl
(/wlogout/)
A wayland PowerMenu (to logout/shutdown/...). theme-1 is longer (6 items), theme-2 only 4 has options. Both themes have a layout-* file and a styles-*.css.
U can use /scripts/logoutlaunch.sh (with args $1 being 1 or 2) to launch those themes. They (should) scale automatically with display size and scaling.
Needs: egnrseTheme.css hyprland uwsm hyprlock
(/zsh/)
My config is split into two/three parts:
- custom.zshrc (general settings)
- aliases.shrc (aliases for commands)
- [~/.zshrc (for device specific settings)]
some Features:
Shift+Tab: fzf search completionjd dir: jump directory (similar to cd) with zoxide (remembers folders, so that u can directly go to them)- press Esc twice to prepend
sudoto a command
More Info
add this to your `~/.zshrc` (or similar) to source the files:# fetch the custom config file for zsh (if it exists)
# customZshConfig_path is the path to the config file
customZshConfig_path="$HOME/.config/zsh/custom.zshrc"
if [ -f "$customZshConfig_path" ]; then
source $customZshConfig_path
else
echo ".zshrc: path to config not found ($customZshConfig_path)"
fi
Change the standart terminal to zsh with:
chsh -s /bin/zsh elia (with elia being your username)
Be sure to have zsh installed! (and u are using the correct location)
I use trash-dAUR as a drop in replacement for rm.
Infos about the settings used are in the files.
Needs: zoxide fzf
(egnrseTheme.*)
still a work in progress
The Idea is to have one file where I can change all colors for all apps/packages I use. Currently, I use 3: egnrseTheme.css/*.conf/*.sh . In many configs the colors are still hardcoded. (eg. dunst, tofi, rofi, some waybar modules)
Other things that might be useful (mostly in the other folder).
(/other/wvkbd-laptop*)
Put the binary wvkbd-laptop in a directory on the path (eg. /usr/local/bin/) to use it system-wide (hyprland/sddm/the desktop-entry expect that)
Put the desktop-entry wvkbd-laptop.desktop in eg. ~/.local/share/applications/ (or follow the instructions in the file).
Swipe with one finger from the bottom to the left edge (on a touch screen) to toggle the keyboards visibility. (within hyprland with the hyprgrass plugin)
(/xdg-terminals.list)
Set your standart terminal for xdg-terminal-execAUR in the file xdg-terminals.list (is not in the xdg standart yet). Also look into #set Standart Terminal Emulator.
Needs: xdg-terminal-execAUR
(/mimeapps.list)
Set your default applications here (for different filetypes). You can also do this with the KDE-System-Settings or
an easer way to do this is using the filemanager Nemo:
Right Click a file > select *Open With* > *Other Application...* > select the application u like and press Set as default
This will also change the mimeapps.list file.
u can find the mime-type of a file using xdg-mime query filetype {FILE}.
Also look into #set Standart Terminal Emulator.
Sadly, some application (eg KDE stuff) breakes the hardlink (between this config and the actual file), so you might have to update the file in ~/.config/mimeapps.list.
(/other/servicemenus/*)
Some files in the other folder are for Dolphin (KDE). To use them look into the files or look at Dolphin under Fixes
(/scripts/screenshot.sh, /other/screenshot.desktop)
Desktop entry (called Snip Screen) to trigger a screen shot with grim and slurp.
TODO: more possible modes?
(/other/50-custom-sshd.conf)
A secure'ish sshd config, put the config-file into /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/. You might need to run ssh-keygen -A to generate the keys needed for the daemon.
You will need to change the allowed users if you want to connect with a different account than 'elia'. Only connections from localhost (127.0.0.1) and from a localnetwork ip address are allowed. I have a private zerotier-one network that I allow connections from too.
To setup your first connection, disalbe PasswordAuthentication no and AuthenticationMethods publickey as they only allow signing in with a publickey.
I used ssh-audit to try to make my system more secure.
(none currently)
A way to eg. jump to definitions in vim/nvim. Needs an implementation of ctags installed to work.
If u want to use it in a project, run the following in the root project folder:
ctags --extras=+q -R -f .tags .
This genereates a .tags file, which is used by eg. vim. (-R: index subfolder recursively, +q: index class members)
(Also look at its man page)
(/other/old/*)
Everything in here is not in active use anymore with no idea if I will need it for sth. later on.
(/other/DejaVuSansMono.zip)
The font used by some of the configs in this git.
Download it or install it over pacman: ttf-dejavu-nerd
Expand?
If apps are blurry (on wayland) it might be using Xwayland, you can fix this by adding the following to the launch-command of the app:
(the launch command prob. is in /usr/bin/{APP})
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland
There sadly currently isn't a standardized way of doing that.
Things that (kinda) work though:
- Set the environment variable $TERMINAL (eg. in
~/.bashrcwithTERMINAL=alacritty) - Use the mime-type for terminals (u can add them in
~/.config/mimeapps.list). It isx-scheme-handler/terminal=Alacritty.desktop. - Use
xdg-terminal-execAUR to launch terminal applications (Docs here). Look into the file xdg-terminals.list for how to configure and more information. (rust implementation) - For gnome (applications) use the xdg-terminal-exec method AND look at the Nemo
- For KDE (applications) look at Dolphin.
When using the waterfox-bin package, I had some organization policies set. You can change them in /opt/waterfox/distribution/policies.json.
To let the KeepassXC-Browser Plugin find KeepassXC u can copy the native-messaging-hosts/ folder from ~/.mozilla to ~/.waterfox (given you have firefox installed, and the browser support (for firefox?) in KeepassXC enabled)
Activate Hardware video acceleration on nvidia with libva-nvidia-driver (We need the VA-API). Test if it worked with 'vainfo' from libva-utils (see Wiki). Set in about:config in waterfox media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled to true (see here).
Disable Ctr+Q for close: about:config > browser.quitShortcut.disabled= true
thorium-browser-binAUR
To active native wayland use --ozone-platform-hint=auto as a startup flag or set Preferred Ozone platform to auto within the chrome://flags/ menu (put the previous thing into the URL field of thorioum).
Set the standart terminal for dolphin in ~/.config/kdeglobals with:
[General]
TerminalApplication=alacritty
TerminalService=Alacritty.desktop
First row the command, second row the desktop-entry.
To build/update the KDE desktop-entry cache (that Dolphin needs to find programs):
- have the
archlinux-xdg-menupackage installed - run:
XDG_MENU_PREFIX=arch- kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental(kbuildsycoca6 is part of the kservice package, which is a dependency of dolphin)
This fixes dolphin not finding programs. this function is in the rightclick menu of dolphin (if u put the files from/other/servicemenusin the correct place)
There is also a pacmanhook (/other/updateKDEcache.hook) to speed up this process.
Extensions
kio-admin(sudo for dolphin)ark(zip/tar support)dolphin-plugins(git/mercurial/dropbox support, needs to be activated within the Context Menu Settings)
To launch Dolphin (from the terminal) in the current directory use: dolphin .
change the standart terminal to alacritty:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec alacritty
fix running shell-scripts with alacritty (needs the option -e):
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg e
more in the ArchWiki-Nemo
Look into the file /other/matlabStart.sh and look into ArchWiki-Matlab.
I used the installer for linux from: mathworks-download.
In /etc/pacman.conf I enable ParallelDownloads = 5 and the multilib library (multilib is required for the steam package).
Other nice options: Color
(just remove the # before the lines)
I used rankmirrors to rank the mirrors I chose in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.
If the environment variable $DISPLAY is set, VLC will use X11 to display itself. (Because it is a bit buggy)
To force VLC to use wayland, you can change the line with Exec= in /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop to:
Exec=env -u DISPLAY /usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file %U
This will preserve the environment variable globally while unsetting it for VLC.
Install software from flathub with discover (kde software), manage flatpak permissions graphically with Flatseal(flatpak).
Bellow some maybe useful flatpak commands:
flatpak list
flatpak run APP-ID
flatpak run --command=COMMAND APP-ID ARGS
flatpak install NAME
The Flatpak doesn't have the right permission.
Follow the Arch Linux install in: https://docs.lizardbyte.dev/projects/sunshine/latest/about/setup.html
Then do: sudo setcap -r $(readlink -f $(which sunshine))
Install all dependencies that sunshine needs. Symlink all libs that have the wrong version to the installed one. (in /usr/lib: sudo ln -s ./lib*.so ./lib*.so.1.83.0)
Mailvelope (browser extension)
Connect to the local gpgme install:
- create one of the following files (see also here):
~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/gpgmejson.json
~/.waterfox/native-messaging-hosts/gpgmejson.json
~/.config/google-chrome/NativeMessagingHosts/gpgmejson.json
with the following content (for firefox based):
{
"name": "gpgmejson",
"description": "JavaScript binding for GnuPG",
"path": "/usr/bin/gpgme-json",
"type": "stdio",
"allowed_extensions": ["jid1-AQqSMBYb0a8ADg@jetpack"]
}
- reload the mailvelope extension
- select under
