Dotfiles

Usage

1. Copy your saved ssh keys to ~/.ssh/

2. xcode-select --install

3. Install Homebrew (and git)

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
   brew install git

4. Clone this repository

   git clone git@github.com:marcusvb/dotfiles.git
   

   or symlink from dataStore:

   ln -s /Volumes/DataStore/repos ~/repos
   

5. Setup packages/ folder

6. Setup macos/ folder

7. Remapping keys:

   • Karabiner

     Run setup.sh which:

     • maps the dictation key to execute the mute script
     • maps the ±/§ key -> `/~ (for laptop keyboard only)
     • Caps lock key -> ^ CMD Option (right control - macOS just doesn't specify this. Allows us to use this as a hotkey for Loop)

   • MacOs key remapping

     This needs to be manually set in the macOs settings. Navigate to system preferences > keyboard > navigation > shortcuts > keyboard > Move focus to next window. Set shortcut to CMD+§

8. Go through the dirs and apply what you want, e.g. cd/vscode; ./setup.sh

9. Open Loop application and import the keybinds.json

10. Open ITerm > general > settings > load from /Users/marcus/repos/dotfiles/iterm and "import all settings and data". In Profiles load in the Hotkey Window.json
