This repo contains my setup files for Mac (local) and Linux (remote).

Installation

Run the command below in a terminal to set up a new macOS computer:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maptv/setup/main/scripts/setup.sh | /bin/bash

This README is a symlink to the setup.sh script in the scripts directory.

Why Mac?

MacOS

MacOS is UNIX-based, unlike Windows, though Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a really big step forward.

Modifier keys

The Command key is used for MacOS keyboard shortcuts, limiting conflicts with Unix shortcuts that use Alt/Option or Control.

The best option would be to install Linux on a Mac and configure the modifier keys (Cmd/Alt/Ctrl) to work like in MacOS, but who has time for that?

Mac System Preferences

For tons of MacOS setup examples, click the link below

Ask for the administrator password upfront

sudo -v

Keep-alive: update existing sudo time stamp until setup.sh has finished

while true; do sudo -n true; sleep 60; kill -0 "$$" || exit; done 2>/dev/null &

2: Default MacOS keybindings and keyboard layout

The default macOS keyboard has so-called "dead keys". Some of these "dead keys"

interfere with GNU emacs/readline shortcuts that should be available by default

everywhere. To deal with this problem, I created a keyboard layout called

undead. I also created a DefaultKeyBinding.dict that provides many GNU

emacs/readline shortcuts.

Download keyboard layout and icon files undead.keylayout and undead.icns to /Library/Keyboard Layouts/

This messes up ctrl u and k in alacritty and kitty

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maptv/setup/main/undead.icns -o /Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/undead.icns

sudo curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maptv/setup/main/undead.keylayout -o /Library/Keyboard\ Layouts/undead.layout

Download Default MacOS keybinding dictionary file DefaultKeyBinding.dict to /Library/Keybindings/

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maptv/setup/main/DefaultKeyBinding.dict -o ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict --create-dirs

For additional keyboard setup, we need Karabiner, but to install Karabiner, let's use Homebrew.

3: Brew - commandline package manager

Install Homebrew (this also installs xcode tools needed for git)

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

(echo; echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"') >> ~/.zprofile

eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"

git config --global user.email [email protected]

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maptv/setup/main/Brewfile -o ~/.Brewfile

brew bundle install --file ~/.Brewfile

4: Generate SSH keys for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket

model=$(sysctl hw.model | cut -d\ -f2)

yes y | ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/$(whoami)$model -C $(whoami)$model -N ''

ssh-add ~/.ssh/$(whoami)_$model

cat ~/.ssh/$(whoami)_$model.pub | pbcopy

echo "Host *\n\tIdentityFile ~/.ssh/$(whoami)_$model" >> ~/.ssh/config

Non-automated steps

macOS settings

Enable Stage Manager

Accessibility > Menu bar size: large

Accessibility > Reduce transparency

Accessibility > Reduce motion

Accessibility > Pointer size: as large as possible

Accessibility > Text size: 15 pt

Desktop & Dock > Enable Displays have separate Spaces

Desktop & Dock > Enable "When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application"

Date & Time > Enable 24-hour time

Control Center > Automatically hide and show the menu bar On Desktop Only

Control Center > Don't show anything in menu bar, show everything in Control Center

Trackpad > Point & Click > Tracking Speed: As Fast as possible

Trackpad > More Gestures > Swipe between pages: Off

Trackpad > More Gestures > App Expose: Swipe Down with Three Fingers

Menu bar should only have Spaceman, AWAKE/DECAF (Hammerspoon), Control Center, and Date and Time

There does not appear to be:

- a way to prevent the menubar from dimming when another screen is focused

- have the menubar only be displayed on screens with a notch

Therefore, I:

- set my Wallpaper to complete black, so the notch is no longer visible

- hide the menu bar on the Desktop only, because I want

- Spaceman to show which Space is focused in the menu bar if I unintentionally enter fullscreen mode

- make apps fullscreen on the Desktop with:

- Hammerspoon (ctrl space) or

- RightZoom (alt cmd e)

instead of fullscreen mode, which moves windows to a new space,

when I press ctrl cmd f (or cmd shift f for some apps)

R

Install R from https://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/

Activate py environment and run the command below

Rscript -e "install.packages('IRkernel', repos='https://cran.rstudio.com'); IRkernel::installspec()"

Give Hammerspoon Accessibility permissions and enable Launch Hammerspoon at login

Homerow

Download and move homerow.app to Applications

https://www.homerow.app/changelog

keep default bindings for now

Add ssh key to GitHub by running gh auth login (alias: hai) and selecting SSH as my preferred protocol for Git operations

Restart computer to enable macOS settings set via defaults

Load in the profile saved in the macos.terminal file

Karabiner

Give karabiner_grabber and karabiner_observer Input Monitoring permission

Under Complex modifications > Rules you should see

Change caps_lock to control if pressed with other keys, to escape if pressed alone. (from Change caps_lock key (rev 4))

Change return to control if pressed with other keys, to return if pressed alone (from Change return to control)

Bash style Emacs key bindings (rev 2) (from Emacs key bindings (rev 12))

Move focus to menu bar: Alt Cmd A (A is for Apple)

Move focus to Dock: Alt Cmd Z (Z is below A and S on the keyboard)

Move focus to active or next window: Cmd ' (' looks similar to `)

Which automatically enables, move focus to previous window: Cmd Shift ;

that I decided it was worth overwriting the Emacs hippie completion binding

Turn keyboard access on or off: Alt Cmd K
