I sometimes work in files where I cannot remove trailing whitespaces (at least not permanently). In these cases the background highlighting of them is quite strong and can be a bit annoying. To make this more pleasing, use the foreground to highlight trailing characters, as long as tabs and trailing spaces are displayed as non-space characters. For this I also set `trail` in `&listchars`, and while at it, merged the two lines setting `&listchars` and cleaned up some comments.
My dotfiles
This is a collection of the configuration files and scripts I use for various tools and environments.
Although some files support macOS, most of them assume that they are used on a GNU/Linux system. The systems I use include an Artix, a Manjaro and an Ubuntu installation. All of them running i3wm and the arch-based systems without a DE. I use my fork of st as terminal, zsh as shell and neovim as text editor.
The repository mimics my $HOME, trying to conform to the XDG Base Directory
Specification as close as possible. An exception is etc/ -> /etc/, as well
as meta/ and some other files in the root of the repository (e.g. this README
or the LICENSE) which are not in my $HOME.
The most interesting files are probably in .config/zsh and .config/vim.
Installation
The repository content can be installed via dotbot. All existing files which would be overridden are first packed into an archive for backup (see meta/archive) and then dotbot places symlinks in the appropriate places for the different files and folders in this repository.
To start the installation run:
$ ./meta/install
