Scripts, configuration, and other setup information for my Mac.

Just run ./install (or ./install -v for verbose output).

Then, I have a bunch of notes below because I didn't automate everything all at once.

Don't symlink the plist file or you run into this bug. Instead, simply go to iTerm2 → Preferences → General → Preferences → Load preferences from a custom folder or URL and supply preferences/iTerm2/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist. Alternatively, use this command:

defaults write com.googlecode.iterm2 PrefsCustomFolder -string "/some/path/here/to/the/plist"

Set up ⌥⇧⌘W to close tabs to the right (reference).

• Install Delta.
• git config --global core.editor "'/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/code' -w"
• git config --global help.autocorrect 30

Settings are synced through my personal Microsoft account, so I didn't add them here.

I only use this so that my keyboard modifiers affect my mouse (reference). However, by having Karabiner-Elements enabled on my keyboard at all, I hit this issue.

Preferences... → go to the third tab → Import → Choose RectangleConfig.json from this repo.

If this isn't a hack to top all hacks...

I made /C:/AdamSymlinks on my Mac for one reason: so that my Chrome homepage will migrate nicely between my Windows and macOS machines while always pointing at the same underlying location in OneDrive. However, Chrome either syncs all of your settings or none of them, so I can't choose to migrate everything except my homepage link. I couldn't figure out how to specify a path that would be valid for both Windows and macOS without any hacks, so I opted for a Windows-like path.

How to make this work on macOS:

• Make /etc/synthetic.conf as mentioned here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/388244. Contents (note: the space in between apparently has to be a \t): C: Users/adam/Documents
• Reboot
• ln -s /Users/adam/Library/CloudStorage/OneDrive-Personal/Documents/Homepage /Users/adam/Documents/AdamSymlinks/homepage

How to make a symlink on Windows:

• "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ln.exe" -s B:\OneDrive\Documents\Homepage ./homepage

At least as of Tue 07/04/2023, there's only a Rosetta version available (reference).

When I tried following their guide, I got this:

$ arch -x86_64 brew install qmk/qmk/qmk

Error: Cannot install under Rosetta 2 in ARM default prefix (/opt/homebrew)!
To rerun under ARM use:
    arch -arm64 brew install ...
To install under x86_64, install Homebrew into /usr/local.

Their installation command for Homebrew (arch -x86_64 /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)") did indeed install it in /usr/local, so I just had to run this command to install QMK: arch -x86_64 /usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew install qmk/qmk/qmk.

Actually, I think I just needed to remove /opt/homebrew/bin:/opt/homebrew/sbin from my PATH (export PATH=<all but /opt/homebrew stuff>), otherwise qmk setup would complain about /usr/local since it was using the native version (since that's what it found in the PATH).

Then, I installed to my external drive with qmk setup Adam13531/qmk_firmware -H /Volumes/inland/code/qmk (note that this puts all of the QMK repo directly into the qmk folder as opposed to creating qmk/qmk).

For whatever reason, that didn't actually clone my repo, so I just did git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Adam13531/qmk_firmware and then git pull --rebase. At that point, I could flash my keyboard with the instructions in my README.

Not gonna bother automating this until I need to reinstall. Here's a list of Brew formulae/casks that I have, last updated 09/13/2023.
