Get trackpad working:

• Trackpad tap to click is under Settings -> Mouse and Trackpad
• Three-finger drag is under Settings -> Accessiblity -> Mouse and Trackpad
• go to Settings -> Mission Control and disable separate spaces for separate displays
• add an additional space by entering mission control (ctl + up arrow) and clicking "+"

It's best to google for the homebrew home page and use their install instructions.

Run

ssh-keygen -b 4096
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

and then log into github and add the key

Each of these has a letter prefix, e.g. a--brew.sh. All of the scripts with the same prefix can be run in parallel, or you can run all scripts in serial with

bash run-all-setup-scripts.sh

NOTE / TODO these setup scripts are now coupled to the stroxler/config git repository; I should probably try to refactor my config into various repositories, and have a more general way to run setup scripts at some point in the future, so that it's easier to keep the setup scripts and config that they assume in the same place.

Once the setup is finished, .local/bin will be on your PATH, so you can just use

cd ~
confar-v0 -s <source_repo> -d ~

any time you want to update your config.

Open iterm and do Preferences > Profiles > Colors

There, you can set the color theme using a dropdown at bottom-right. Of the preset themes, only solarized is much good, but I don't really like emacs and terminal having the same colors.

You can also import colors from this same dropdown. As part of the download script I pulled in the Nord theme (in ~), which is a pretty nice one that doesn't conflict with what I use in any editor.

The really important ones are

• finder
  • add your home directory to the left panel by navigating up from one of the other directories (e.g. Documents) till you can see it, and then dragging it over
• clipy (should start at system boot)
• spectacle (should start at system boot)
• iterm
  • go to profiles -> default and do the following:
    • in the colors tab at bottom right, add ~/Nord.itermcolors and then select the Nord theme
    • in the keys tab, set both the right and left Option keys to do Meta (or at least the left one)
• chrome (set as default), and install extensions:
  • stylus
    • then go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StylishThemes/GitHub-Dark/master/github-dark.user.css
  • octotree
    • use ctl-shift-s to activate (or just click the > at top left)
  • json viewer awesome
  • lastpass
  • ublock origin
  • FF (fuzzyfinder)
    • type ff SPC in the address bar to use
    • note that you can go to the start of an address and type ff SPC even after you've started typing normally (this was an issue with some other plugins I used)

Open Terminal.app and run

rm -rf ~/Media/iTunes
cp -R /Media/<Drive_Name>/<path_to_iTunes> ~/Media/iTunes

If you download an app from brew cask that you trust, but generates an error about it being from an unidentified developer when you try to open using spotlight, run

open /Applications

to get a Finder window, then right-click and "Open" the app, which allows you to override the security protections. Obviously only do this for apps you trust.

Install the vim extension, since without this I can't type haha.

Install the Rust (rls) and Rusty Code extensions, which between them make vscode pretty good for rust development. I'd say spacemacs is also pretty solid; the one big advantage of vscode is that it shows the type under cursor on hover, which I have thus far had trouble getting from spacemacs.

If you have any issues, as of Fall of 2018 this video was a pretty good intro to rust tooling setup.

Probably install the reaonml plugin. As of me writing (late October 2018), my experience is that it doesn't seem to actually work - I use emacs for ocaml, and so far nothing is very good for reasonml. But the tutorials claim it works well, which means that there's probably either a temporary issue or that my setup is subtly incorrect.

I really want to try out ensime; the Scala Language Server might be the best way for me to try it out quickly (neovim might also be good) because ensime and spacemacs are incompatible.

Note that if I decide ensime rocks but I'd rather not use vscode, I could make a dedicated emacs environment, or try to get neovim+ensime working.

... There's actually a second scala ide support package, the Scala (sbt) plugin, which apparently uses sbt. I have no idea if it's much good. It has a lot of stars, fwiw.

Thus far spaceemacs + haskell has worked decently for me, but I sometimes get confused and I do find the type hints to be a little less than I want (ocaml spacemacs is a bit better). If I start writing a lot of haskell, it may be worth trying out the haskell language server.
