Feature-by-feature review of Linux dotfiles for porting to macOS. Each item has a checkbox — tick to keep, untick to skip. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adapt Linux dotfiles for macOS: - Bash: macOS GPG/SSH paths, Homebrew completion, pbcopy, open - Git: fix excludesfile path, keep all aliases and GPG signing - Vim: unchanged, create backup/undo/swap dirs in install script - Inputrc: remove Linux-specific include, keep all keybindings - Disabled features kept as comments for future re-enabling Add macOS-specific configs: - AeroSpace: i3-like tiling WM with vim navigation, gaps, window rules, multi-monitor, workspace-to-sketchybar integration - SketchyBar: Tokyonight status bar with workspace indicators, CPU/memory graphs, GitHub notifications, Spotify - JankyBorders: glow borders matching Ghostty Blue Matrix theme - Ghostty: Blue Matrix theme with 85% opacity - App launcher: choose-gui (dmenu clone) with Brave profiles - Bitwarden and GitHub CLI integrations via choose-gui - Modifier switch script (alt/cmd toggle) Remove Linux-only configs: - Alacritty, Sway, Waybar, Wofi, brave-flags, dockerfunc Add install.sh bootstrap script for fresh Mac setup. Add dot-bash_profile to source bashrc on macOS login shells. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
These are required by the GitHub and Bitwarden integration scripts but were missing from the bootstrap. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
On a fresh Mac, /bin/bash is v3.2 which doesn't support ${var^}
for case modification. Use awk instead, and add case-insensitive
grep for app detection in /Applications.

The install script now: - Prompts for name and email at start (supports different identities per machine, e.g. personal vs work) - Generates ed25519 SSH key if none exists - Generates ed25519 GPG signing key if none exists - Configures git identity via git config --global Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix typo: signinkey → signingkey in git config - Update GPG key ID to new iMac key - GitHub indicator: count all notifications, click opens github.com/notifications Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Scratchpad: alt+minus sends window to hidden workspace S, alt+shift+minus brings it back as centered floating window - Cheatsheet: alt+/ shows searchable keybinding list via choose-gui - Ghostty: use cmd+n in existing instance instead of open -na to avoid cluttering cmd+tab with duplicate app icons Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Clean up vimrc: - Remove obsolete settings (nocompatible, ttyfast, pastetoggle) - Remove all commented-out vim-plug blocks (kept as install hints) - Remove mkview/loadview autocmds (caused errors on special buffers) - Remove vim-go and vim-hcl plugins (Go dev not needed) Add plugins via native pack/ (no plugin manager): - vim-commentary: gc to comment/uncomment - vim-surround: cs/ds/ys for surrounding pairs - vim-fugitive: Git integration (:Git, :Gdiffsplit, :Git blame) - vim-gitgutter: git diff markers in gutter - fzf.vim: fuzzy find files/buffers/grep - tokyonight-vim: colorscheme matching terminal/bar theme Add fzf keybindings: <leader>f files, <leader>b buffers, <leader>r ripgrep, <leader>l lines. Update install.sh to install vim plugins on fresh setup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix packpath to include ~/.vim so native pack/ plugins load when vimrc lives at ~/.config/vim/vimrc - Transparent background: let Ghostty opacity show through - Add cheatsheet comment block at end of vimrc with all custom mappings and plugin shortcuts Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- JetBrainsMono Nerd Font at 14pt - Background blur for frosted glass effect - Bar cursor style - Window padding for breathing room - Copy-on-select, trim trailing spaces - Shell integration for prompt detection - Keep window-decoration=auto for rounded corners Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The AppleScript and Ghostty CLI approaches don't reliably open new windows on the current workspace. open -na is the only method that works correctly, despite the cmd+tab clutter trade-off. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
