  • Detangle & merge Manjaro with macOS ~/.zshrc
    • Track in chezmoi source repo
    • Fix HISTFILE to match between macOS & Manjaro / Linux #107
      • macOS: ~/.config/zsh/.zsh_history
      • Manjaro: ~/.zhistory (currently... but needs to be: ~/.config/zsh/.zsh_history)
    • Fix HISTFILE, HISTSIZE, HISTFILESIZE that /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config keeps overriding #106
      • ~/.config/zsh/.zshrc Loads ~/.config/zsh/config.d/*, which includes 00-history-size.zsh
      • ~/.config/zsh/.zshrc MUST Load ~/.zshrc AFTER, due to bugs in Manjaro's config:
        • Otherwise, it breaks bash select-word-style Ctrl+w yank & paste Ctrl+y
        • This is because /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config includes the zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin before our settings are applied!
        • See: plugin breaks 'select-word-style bash' functionality zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting#67
      • ~/.zshrc Is loaded, and was working around the issue by setting select-word-style bash AND using ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_IGNORE_WIDGETS workaround.
        • However, something in Manjaro config changed and ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_IGNORE_WIDGETS workaround is now failing to work also!
        • The culprit is Autosuggest eats buffer by ctrl+w zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions#363
        • Reference: zsh yanks only last cut word
        • Enabling BOTH select-word-style bash AND the ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_IGNORE_WIDGETS does not work
        • Yet, with select-word-style bash disabled and $ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_IGNORE_WIDGETS set... it works again! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
        • Because these things must happen before + after sourcing /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config, they are constrained to be in this file. Yet, because ~/.zshrc is sourced AFTER the ~/.config/zsh/config.d/* and thus 00-history-size.zsh, it causes a problem with HISTFILE being overridden!
        • We therefore have a Catch-22

  • Helper script + Sway config for dynamic window/app detection of sensitive windows
  • Integration with rofi-lpass plugin: lpass-rofi
    • Get yad dialog working
    • In-Progress - Handle rofi-wayland fork edge case: LastPass item with "Require master password Reprompt" set
      • Debug issue
        • It turns out that rofi always has keyboard focus, and by default is using wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1 protocol with the exclusive keyboard interactivity mode.
        • Grabbing exclusive keyboard focus is the defined behavior when in exclusive mode.
        • However, for the LastPass Rofi plugin, we do not want this behavior, because lpass will spawn pinentry-gtk3 when prompting for the Master Password. The user needs to be able to type in the password and hit enter to dismiss the lpass password prompt dialog box.
        • Currently, the rofi-wayland fork does not allow the user to interact with any other window except rofi, which makes the rofi-lpass use case impossible when Master Password reprompt is enabled for an item stored in LastPass.
      • Try to implement on-demand keyboard interactivity mode (via wlr-layer-shell-unstable-v1 - zwlr_layer_surface_v1::keyboard_interactivity)
        • Similar to changes I made for: Add keyboard mode flag to support both: "on-demand" & "exclusive" GTK layer-shell modes nwg-piotr/nwg-drawer#95
        • Sway added this in Add support for layer-shell on_demand keyboard interactivity swaywm/sway#7587
      • In-Progress - Figure out why rofi does not release keyboard focus, or at least re-grabs it very soon after (Not sure if sway or rofi is doing this)
        • Add debugging info to rofi-wayland inside the related keyboard enter and leave handler functions
          • Currently, this is printing both the leave event, and then another keyboard enter event quickly afterwards!
          • Not sure whether sway is doing this, or rofi somehow grabs keyboard access even more exclusively than it's supposed to be allowed by the Wayland protocol.
  • Wrap all this in a recipe to install
