dotfiles VS dotfiles

You can check out my configuration if you need kitty to behave like tmux: https://github.com/kutsan/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/kitty

and https://github.com/kutsan/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/nvim this one is mine. Although, it's not 100% written in lua but I'm trying to convert it slowly. Suggestions are welcome.

In your shell configs, you can check whether or not current shell is summoned inside vim/neovim process via $VIM_TERMINAL or $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS environment variables and then, it's easy to launch tmux without or with a different session name (in order to prevent recursion, if you're using tmux as your top-level process). Check out this example for zsh and neovim. Use $VIM_TERMINAL instead of $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS to support vim.

Hmm, I haven't encounter a problem about this because I have a autocmd that sets current working directory to project root. So, wherever I open buffer, my shell always points to the project root. See its function and how it is used.

For me launching Gnome with xmonad as the window manager stopped working a few years ago. Instead I have xmonad set to autostart 2 seconds into a desktop session with --replace set. dotfiles

With regards to 1, I've got a system that works pretty well for me. You can look in my dotfiles and the script called setup-xmonad.sh. I've configured things to run xmonad --replace shortly after the desktop comes up and that works great.

> xmonad itself can’t run with modern Gnome

That's not really true. I use the gnome-flashback sesson and have an .desktop in ~/.config/autostart that runs xmonad --replace after I log in. It's true that logging in with a gnome session using xmonad as the WM isn't really an option any more but switching to xmonad after login continues to work great and is easier to set up than creating your own session ever was.

I wasn't able to get those instructions to work on more recent versions of Ubuntu. In my dotfiles and setup repo I've got a solution that works for me using autostart and xmonad --replace.

Yes, there's stuff that you can't get just from parsing the man page too, but it's a huge help. I know it's not done every startup, I have running that as part of my "update everything" script.

I've been using XMonad for over 10 years now. Originally I went with Awesome but then decided I liked still having a normal desktop environment and XMonad's integration with Gnome was really easy.

The way I've done this has changed a bit over the years, these days I drop a file in .config/autostart letting xmonad replace the normal window manager after Gnome gets itself sorted out.

Hmm, I don't use a vertical panel so it might not be comparable. My dotfiles are here though if you want to take a look.
