Quick update to my WezTerm config:

• Now draws an unmissable deep-pink border around the active window if the active session is a remote one via SSH so you can easily tell when you’re on your own machine and when you’re not.

Flatpak & GNU Stow problems (solved)

Could someone tell me how to let follow symlinks? I have managed by and Flatpak apps can't see the config.

So, I've got symlinks in xdg-config and I'd like for Flatpak to follow them to the folder where the configurations actually reside in (~/.config/home-dir). Search results have been unhelpful.

For example, if I do ls in ~/.config/Kvantum it shows this:
kvantum.kvconfig -> ../../.config/home-dir/.config/Kvantum/kvantum.kvconfig

And even if I give Flatpak apps access to xdg-config/home-dir:ro and xdg-config/Kvantum:ro they won't use the config.

SOLUTION: I switched to Tuckr for dotfiles management, which let me symlink the whole Kvantum directory instead of the individual files. This somehow allowed Flatpak to access the themes.

Just shared my WezTerm¹ configuration. It’s not very long and mostly just adds a few keyboard shortcuts that I find more ergonomically-pleasing, specifies light/dark themes and improves colour scheme consistency and also, if you use Helix Editor², automatically implements light/dark mode theme changes for it in line with the rest of the terminal.

ok, I lasted like a week before manually add ll="ls -lah --color" to my .zprofile.

Yes, I know, dotfiles.

Anyone have a dotfiles approach that I'll actually use? MacOS primary, don't really care about syncing it elsewhere, I use homebrew.

I'd be open to some new shell thingie.

Setting up a new Mac, I finally got round to documenting my setup, including the utilities, privacy apps, etc., I use as well as my fish shell and Helix Editor configurations, Homebrew apps, fisher plugins, etc.

In case you’re curious, here it is:
