#dotfiles

Ghostty, tmux and zsh, set up the way I use them. One command on a fresh machine — it installs Ghostty too if it isn't there.

terminal: Ghostty with the snappy theme, following the system's light and dark mode, in Maple Mono NF CN so Chinese and icons share one font; frosted glass that survives Ctrl+Enter fullscreen on both systems
shell: zsh with inline suggestions: → takes the grey text, Tab completes as usual, up-arrow filters history by what you've already typed
tmux: one key, Alt+m, opens a menu of everything and closes it again, so there is nothing to memorise; Alt+h/j/k/l moves between panes, Alt+Shift+arrows resizes the one you're in, Alt+←/→ switches windows; sessions come back after a reboot. On a Mac, Option is Alt
claude: window numbers change colour with Claude Code's state — running, waiting on you, done; after a reboot each pane picks its conversation back up

It opens a menu: the terminal setup, the Claude Code status line and tmux colours, the keyboard panel, and on GNOME the desktop look. Pick with space, start with Enter. Safe to run again: it skips whatever is already installed and backs up anything it replaces.

Configs are symlinked from ~/.dotfiles, so editing the repo edits the live setup. theme-preview ranks every installed Ghostty theme by contrast and renders a sample of each, for when a theme looks good but reads badly.
