.Dotfiles

Some of my configuration files. This doesn't attempt to be a help page, but is presented in case the tricks inside might come in handy for anyone.

Shells

I use tcsh, with a monster .cshrc built up over decades:

.cshrc
.login

but I also include a very modest .bashrc: .bashrc

Emacs

Another case where my .emacs is a monster file built up over decades.

.emacs

The other files aren't so elaborate.

.emacs-lisp/sgml-mode.el
.emacs-lisp/color-theme.el
.emacs-lisp/color-theme-akk.el

Vim

Strangely enough, I use and like vim as well as Emacs.

.vimrc
.vim/filetype.vim
.vim/colors/akk.vim

Mozilla

I worked as a Netscape/Mozilla developer for many years, much of that time as a pest for customization and Linux compatibility, so I have strong feelings about how the browser ought to be configured.

user.js
userChrome.css
userContent.css

X

Yet another monster file including tons of legacy crap -- and some stuff that you may still find useful.

.Xdefaults
.xinitrc

Window Managers

I switch around quite a bit trying out the various small-and-light window managers, but I particularly like openbox 3.4.1 and fvwm. I've given up on gnome and kde -- too slow and too hard to share a configuration among multiple machines.

openbox/menu.xml
Vaio openbox/menu.xml
openbox/rc.xml
Vaio openbox/rc.xml

fvwm.config

Udev

These aren't personal dot files, but they're files I have to keep modifying as distros change their Udev setups in order to get my multi-flash card and Vaio built-in memory stick readers to work without requiring Hal polling my hardware constantly.

63-multicard.rules, for a multiple flash card reader (currently doesn't register the CF portion
64-memstick.rules, for the Vaio built-in memory stick reader.
