This little script will look at your current working directory and its
parent directories to source local configuration files (very useful for
Python projects, or the way I build TC with a local PATH pre-pended).
It works relatively well but still is a very fragile solution that
depends on the order in which the shell has sourced its files. Because
the Termite script kept erasing the previous PROMPT_COMMAND value for
Bash I had to change to source it at the beginning of my configuration
file.
If you don't have this option, less will just start outputting from
wherever your cursor was (so the line where you were writing your
command), but any movement would make it snap to the top of the
terminal.
This makes it clear the screen before doing its first draw, making the
output systematically start from the top.
It's cleaner to only export my modified PATH when I'm logging in,
instead of doing it at each shell launch.
Because Zsh and Bash don't use the same mechanism to let you know you
are in a login session, you gotta check both separately. But that
doesn't matter because lightdm doesn't launch `sh` as a login shell
anyway... So the condition is super messy.
Groups needs to have a command-list ending in a semi-colon to register
the ending brace. I did not encounter this issue with Zsh but do have an
error when sourcing the file with Bash.
This preprocessor is different from bat in that it can display some
information about binary files like archives or pdf files. It also does
some syntax highlighting like bat.
I'd rather not see my script folder most of the time, so let's make it a
hidden folder instead.
I also link it each time with stow instead of using a conditional on the
folder's existence, which is more robust when adding scripts after I
already finished an install and only want to update the symlinks.
I don't want my pager to clobber my terminal once I'm done looking at
whatever I was looking at.
This also means that I can remove its definition from the `batman`
script.
Switching to Termite because URxvt has weird rendering issues when
resizing the font.
i3-sensible-terminal needs the TERMINAL environment variable to launch
our prefered terminal emulator with the Ctrl+d binding.
Bash and Zsh both need a hook to enable Termite to open another terminal
in the same directory with the Ctrl+Maj+t binding.
