My configurations for several Linux applications.

My Linux Settings

Terminal

ZSH (OH-MY-ZSH)

Check to see if you have ZSH first.

zsh -v

If you have it installed then skip the OPTIONAL step.

OPTIONAL: Copy and paste this into your promt. (If you do not have ZSH)

sudo apt-get install zsh

Window manager

Weapon of choice TMUX

OPTIONAL: If you do not have tmux copy and past this into your terminal.

sudo apt-get install tmux

Now to make TMUX usable...

git clone https://github.com/atr2600/linux_settings.git
cp linux_settings/tmux/tmux.conf ~.tmux.conf

Now your tmux will have mouse support and easy to use key-bindings. press 'CTRL+B' then 's' == Horizontal 'Split' screen press 'CTRL+B' then 'v' == Virtical Split screen press 'ALT' then 'arrow-key'== move to a screen. press 'CTR+B' the 'd' == detach screen (to start that back up just type)

tmux attach

PROGRAMS!

Python

STOP using the basic python app. Install IPYTHON immediatly. ipython makes coding and scripting on a terminal as easy as pressing tab. Have you ever forgot what that one function's name was? Just tab your way through the options by pressing the TAB key. Also has alot more features than that.

sudo apt-get install ipython

Debuggers

If you must use a terminal debugger I recommend installing a nice custom python layout for your GDB. Displays all the data you want right away without having to type the commands.
