Check my dotfiles: https://github.com/gerardbm/dotfiles/blob/master/.xbindkeysrc However, KDE 5 (Plasma) is more buggy, so I switched to i3-gaps and I recommend a 'tiling windows manager' more than 'desktop environments'. It's a subjective opinion, of course. Windows managers are clean, elegant and they can be configured through dotfiles, so you can save them in a github repository and clone to any machine to use the same configuration. There are some interesting WMs: dwm (configured in C, so you need to compile it every time), awesome (configured in Lua and more extensible), xmonad (configured in haskell), etc. Take a look at Unixporn on Reddit. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
