Dotfiles

Personal dotfiles for Arch Linux with niri (Wayland compositor).

Configs are symlinked directly from ~/.config/ into this repo. Edit in ~/.config/, changes are tracked here.

Yazi Keybinds

Custom keybinds (yazi/keymap.toml) layered on the defaults:

Key	Action
<Enter>	Enter directory, or open hovered file
i	Open a terminal (kitty) here
<C-x>	Toggle the executable bit of a file
e	Extract the hovered/selected archive here
E	Compress hovered/selected into a .zip
g .	Go to dotfiles
g t	Go to /tmp
g s	Go to dotfiles scripts

Archive preview (content of zipped files in the preview pane), e/E, and Enter-on-archive all need 7-zip: sudo pacman -S 7zip (already in step.sh).

Custom plugins live in yazi/plugins/ (smart-enter, open-term, chmod, extract-here, compress). extract-here is named to avoid yazi's reserved built-in plugin names (the built-in extract stays used by Enter).

Image preview

Runs in kitty, so image preview uses the native kitty graphics protocol (no extra tools for png/jpg/gif/webp). Extra preloaders need (all already in step.sh):

• imagemagick - avif/heic/jxl
• ffmpeg - video frame preview
• poppler - PDF preview (pdftoppm)

Scripts

• step.sh - install packages and set up a fresh system
• scripts/ - utility scripts (update, package lists, etc.)
