my scripts for dev

Quick install

Ubuntu:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rek/devconfig/master/install/install.sh | bash

Arch / Omarchy:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rek/devconfig/master/install/install-arch.sh | bash

Or after cloning:

mkdir -p ~/dev && git clone https://github.com/rek/devconfig.git ~/dev/devconfig
~/dev/devconfig/install/install.sh         # Ubuntu
~/dev/devconfig/install/install-arch.sh    # Arch / Omarchy

The repo is cloned to ~/dev/devconfig (both the quick-install one-liner and the script's auto-clone fallback use this location).

The Arch variant backs up any existing dotfiles/configs to *.bak before symlinking (Omarchy ships its own .zshrc, hypr config, etc. — you'll want to merge anything useful from ~/.zshrc.bak back in).

Things to do after installing Arch / Omarchy

Dropdown terminal (CapsLock toggle)

CapsLock toggles a ghostty window that slides down from the top, with tabs at the bottom (ddterm-style) and no zellij multiplexer.

~/dev/devconfig/scripts/setup-dropdown-term.sh

This installs keyd (remaps CapsLock → F13 at evdev), pyprland (scratchpad daemon), and ghostty. Configs are already symlinked from this repo:

• .config/pypr/config.toml — scratchpad geometry and the launch command. Sets DDTERM=1 so .zshrc skips the auto-attach to zellij.
• .config/ghostty/config — gtk-tabs-location = bottom and gtk-single-instance = false so per-launch env doesn't leak between windows.
• .config/hypr/bindings.conf — binds the F13 keycode (191) to pypr toggle term.

Display setup

~/dev/devconfig/scripts/display-setup.sh extend          # Philips + Laptop + Glasses
~/dev/devconfig/scripts/display-setup.sh desk            # Philips + Laptop (+ 2nd external)
~/dev/devconfig/scripts/display-setup.sh glasses-only    # Glasses (top) + Laptop (bottom)
~/dev/devconfig/scripts/display-setup.sh status          # Show current layout

Applies via hyprctl keyword monitor=... AND persists to ~/.config/hypr/monitors-runtime.conf (sourced from hyprland.conf), so the layout survives Hyprland config reloads. Auto-detects monitors by name/EDID.

Parallel Arch / Ubuntu config sets

This repo keeps both an Arch/Omarchy/Hyprland version and a Ubuntu/GNOME version of every desktop-touching script and config:

Concern	Arch (default)	Ubuntu / GNOME (.gnome suffix)
Dropdown terminal	scripts/setup-dropdown-term.sh (ghostty + pyprland)	scripts/setup-dropdown-term.gnome.sh (amezin/ddterm patches in ddterm/)
Display setup	scripts/display-setup.sh (hyprctl)	scripts/display-setup.gnome.sh + scripts/xreal-apply-triple.gnome.py (Mutter D-Bus)
Pyprland scratchpad	.config/pypr/config.toml	— (ddterm extension handles dropdown on GNOME)
Hyprland	.config/hypr/*	—

The default name targets Arch; the .gnome.<ext> suffix targets the prior Ubuntu/GNOME setup. (Note: the top-level installers install/install.sh and install/install-arch.sh predate this convention and use an inverted naming — the dropdown/xreal pattern above is the canonical one going forward.)

ddterm (GNOME / Ubuntu only)

Used only on Ubuntu/GNOME. On Arch/Hyprland the dropdown is ghostty via pyprland — see Things to do after installing Arch / Omarchy above.

Preferred dropdown terminal on Ubuntu Wayland. Install via GNOME Extension Manager, search ddterm. Then apply the patches and Claude hooks:

~/dev/devconfig/scripts/setup-dropdown-term.gnome.sh

CapsLock as toggle key

CapsLock is mapped to F13 in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc:

key <CAPS> {[  F13  ]};

Reload after changes:

setxkbmap -layout us

In ddterm preferences, set the toggle shortcut to F13 (press CapsLock when prompted).

Tab shortcuts

Set via dconf (the GUI dialog can't capture Ctrl+Tab):

dconf write /com/github/amezin/ddterm/shortcut-next-tab "['<Primary>Tab']"
dconf write /com/github/amezin/ddterm/shortcut-prev-tab "['<Primary><Shift>Tab']"

Guake (X11 / legacy)

Deprecated: prefer ddterm on Ubuntu Wayland, or the ghostty/pyprland dropdown on Arch.

Install: sudo apt install guake

Settings:

• Main Window: Disable "appear on mouse display," enable "hide on lose focus"
• Shell: Set default interpreter to zsh
• Scrolling: Set scrollback lines to 10000
• Appearance: Select "homebrew" built-in scheme
• Quick open: code -g %(file_path)s:%(line_number)s
