My Dotfiles

Neovim

The plugin manager I use is called vim-plug. Read more about it here: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug. Once you have written your config file, run :PlugInstall, but you can switch it out for any plugin manager you prefer.

The configuration should work fine for regular vim, just add the lines to your .vimrc file.

feh - feh is used to manage desktop wallpaper.

i3lock - lockscreen.

i3lock-fancy - i3lock-fancy is a script that takes a screenshot of your current screen, blurs it and sets it as the image for i3lock.

i3-gaps - used for gaps between windows.

Extras

I use xrender as the backend for picom as glx was giving me issues.
