# Luke's GNU/Linux Dotfiles # The Voidrice (Luke Smith <https://lukesmith.xyz>'s dotfiles)
These are my dotfiles! The name of the repo, "voidrice", came from the fact they were originally on my Void Linux machine, but these files are distro-independent. In fact, I now push changes from my X200 running Parabola or my X220 running Arch. These are the dotfiles deployed by [LARBS](https://larbs.xyz) and as seen on [my YouTube channel](https://youtube.com/c/lukesmithxyz).
## Programs whose configs can be found here - Very useful scripts are in `~/.local/bin/`
- Settings for:
- vim/nvim (text editor)
- lf (file browser)
- mpd/ncmpcpp (music)
- sxiv (image/gif viewer)
- mpv (video player)
- I try to minimize what's directly in `~` so:
- All configs that can be in `~/.config/` are.
- Some environmental variables have been set in `~/.profile` to move configs into `~/.config/`
- Bookmarks in text files used by various scripts
- Web bookmarks in `~/.config/bookmarks`
- File bookmarks in `~/.config/files`
- Directory bookmarks in `~/.config/directories`

## More documentation My setup is pretty modular nowadays.
I use several suckless program that are meant to be configured and compiled by the user and I also have separate repos for some other things.

In the system, you can also press `Super+Shift+e` to watch tutorial videos on **If you want the i3 configs, they are in this repo, but in the `archi3` branch.** I don't really update it nowadays, but they're still here. Some other programs I no longer use, like vifm are there too.

The command `getkeys` will also show basic key binds for different programs. You might've come here from a review I've done on a program and want my configuration files for that program.
I tend to remove configs for programs I don't use to keep LARBS small. For those programs, they will be in the git history if you want to go searching. Please don't email me for configs. I tend to delete old stuff on my local machines so it's no easier for me.

things to theses files my vimrc will automatically run `shortcuts` which will
dynamically generate shortcuts for these in bash, ranger and optionally
