#Stow

Stow all packages.

#Keyboard

Make Caps Lock behave like Ctrl.

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['ctrl:nocaps']"
setxkbmap gb -option caps:nocaps

See xkeyboard-config(7) § Ctrl position for other options.

#Bash

When invoked as a login shell, Bash looks for

1. ~/.bash_profile
2. ~/.bash_login
3. ~/.profile

in that order and sources the first one it finds, ignoring the rest. So I put my portable shell config in ~/.profile and source it from ~/.bash_profile like so:

# ~/.bash_profile
for filename in ~/.profile ~/.bashrc
do
	if [ -r "$filename" ]
	then
		. "$filename"
	fi
done

Then ~/.profile sources environment variables from the set of same files as systemd does, which is ~/.config/environment.d/*.conf.

$HOME
|-- .config
|   `-- environment.d
|       |-- *.conf  <--.
|       |-- *.conf  <--|
|       `-- *.conf  <--|      .---------.
|                      |----- | systemd |
|-- .xsessionrc  ------|      `---------'
|-- .profile  ---------'
|        ^
|        |
|-- .bash_profile  ----.
`-- .bashrc  <---------'

#Less

Some man pages (cough cough POSIX) use a Unicode minus sign (U+2212, “−”) in front of options, which makes them frustratingly difficult to search through. One quick workaround is to set LANG= for such pages; e.g. LANG= man 1posix ls.

As a more permanent solution, I have mapped o in Less to open a search prompt beginning with [−-] (i.e. minus sign or hypen). The corresponding lesskey(1) configuration is shown below.

#command
o    forw-search [−-]

Compile Less key bindings:

#GnuPG

Create a symbolic link from gpg2 to gpg if necessary:

[ -e /usr/bin/gpg2 ] || sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gpg /usr/bin/gpg2

Use pinentry-gtk2 as PIN/passphrase entry dialog for GnuPG.

sudo update-alternatives --set pinentry /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2
