Installing CBSH

To install CBSH on Arch Linux (and Arch Linux based Linux Distros, except Artix) run the below:

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/cabooshyy/cbsh/cbsh-arch/cbsh.git
$ cd cbsh
$ ./cbsh

The installation script will walk you through installing everything, you do not need to run it as sudo, and the script will warn you not to do so.

The script will ask for sudo privileges when it needs to install packages, this ensures that everything is installed for your user and not in root.

How do i update CBSH?

With your Package Manager! Just update your system as usual with sudo pacman -Syu and if there are any updates, they will be downloaded and placed into /etc/cbsh.

We NEVER touch $HOME!

Why? Because we don't want to overwrite any existing configuration and any changes you may have made since installing. This way you can look at the updated files and update them on your own terms, by copying them from /etc/cbsh into your home directory.

As an example, say i'd pushed an update to zsh-cbsh and you wanted to use the updated config file, you'd copy the new file from /etc/cbsh into your $HOME, and if i'd pushed an update to qtile-cbsh you'd do the same procedure, but remember its inside a .config directory, your file manager likely has dotfiles hidden by default (Most, if not all have CTRL+H as the "Hide/Unhide hidden files" keybind). and copy the new config to your $HOME's .config directory.

Setting a Wallpaper

By default, i do not include a Wallpaper setter, as Qtile can set a wallpaper as part of its screen configuration.

However, should you want to use one, you can easily remove the "wallpaper=" declaration in the screen setup section of the qtile config and use a program such as feh, nitrogen, sxiv etc. to manage and set your wallpapers.

Qtile Keybinds

Qtile uses mod4 (the Super/Windows key) as the MODKEY, this is configurable in the config and you can set the Modkey to whatever you would like.

General Keybinds

Emacs Keychords

Run launcher Keychords

dmenu Script Keychords

Doom Emacs Keybinds

Emacs refers to Alt as M- (Meta), so whenever you see a command here (or online) that prefixes it with M-, its talking about Alt.
