Making stdlinux better

This repo is currently broken due to unexpected updates to stdlinux.

As of now, I am unable to fix it because I no longer have ssh access to the stdlinux servers.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Pre-requisites

Windows Users

You will need a terminal that supports 256 colors and a nerd font.

• If you're on Windows 11, you have Windows Terminal pre-installed.
• If you're on Windows 10, you can download it here.
• If you're on anything older, you'll have to use something like ConEmu.
• For any version of Windows, you can download nerd fonts from the official website.

Mac Users

You will also need a terminal that supports 256 colors and a nerd font.

• To get nerd fonts, install Homebrew and follow this guide.
• To get the correct color space, either switch to iterm2 or install a patched screen.

Linux Users

You know your way around your distro's package manager if you daily drive Linux.
Make sure your terminal supports xterm-256colors and you have a nerd font installed.
Check echo $TERM to determine your terminal type.

Note

Feel free also to modify and re-upload to your own repo.
Everything here is free to use.

Installation

This will reset any zsh/nvim/tmux configurations you already have

cd $HOME
git clone https://github.com/n-tropy247/stdlinux_config
cd stdlinux_config
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
cd $HOME && rm -rf stdlinux_config/

Important Notes

Tmux

• Easy tmux guide

Powerline fonts

• Your terminal must have a powerline font installed to show special characters and certain advanced formatting.
• Powerline fonts can be found here

Transferring files

• There will be a document uploaded to Piazza with detailed instructions on using sftp and scp. You may choose whichever works best for you.

Important Configuration

• You can install useful LSPs using :MasonInstall lsp_name I suggest at least :MasonInstall c and :MasonInstall asm-lsp
• Similarly, tree-sitter parsers can be installed with :TSInstall ts_name I suggest at least :TSInstall c and :TSInstall vim There are many more that are useful, so experiment!
• This updates the tmux leader from <C-b> to <C-space> which I found to be easier.
• Tmux pane navigation is possible with both the mouse or the vim standard pane keys <C-h> <C-j> <C-k> and <C-l>
• The general layout of nvim comes from the base plugin AstroNvim
• A lot of the navigation, including space as the leader, is unchanged.
• <leader>u will provide an undotree for the current file
• <leader>a will add the current file to harpoon
• <leader>gs will open a git explorer
• <C-e> will open the harpoon quick switcher
• Harpooned files can be navigated using <C-h> <C-t> <C-n> and <C-j>
