# Arch Linux

* `config/` -> map contents to `~/.config`.
* `home/` -> map contents to `~/`.

# Setup

* Full disk encryption with Veracrypt

* Store /tmp in RAM

* Move browser cache directories to /tmp as a means of reducing file writes on SSD

* Fix fonts by placing the following XML into `/etc/fonts/conf.avail/29-prettify.conf`
  and then symlinking: `ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/29-prettify.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/29-prettify.conf`

  ```

## Map caps to left-ctrl

* Most promising method

  * Install `xorg-xmodmap`
  * Map `linux/home/Xmodmap` to ~/
  * The above taken from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xmodmap

* Second method: map caps key to left-ctrl (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Map_scancodes_to_keycodes for details)
  * edit `/etc/udev/hwdb.d/10-my-modifiers.hwdb`
  * add:

  ```
  evdev:atkbd:dmi:*            # built-in keyboard: match all AT keyboards for now
   KEYBOARD_KEY_3a=leftctrl     # bind capslock to leftctrl
  ```

  * run `udevadm hwdb --update` then reboot

## Install clipboard getter

* `pi xsel`
* Now we can grab clipboard content in vim using `:read !xsel --clipboard --output`
