Utilize | to make a simple translation tool (Ctrl+Alt+z)
A bunch of keys are set. In addition, there are some small tips :
- alt+tab allows users to quickly switch to the previous workspace
- alt+1/2 focus on the left/right workspace, using mod+num to switch workspace is also supported
- use custom-pc keyboard layout for my personal usb keyboard, you can delete or customize it by yourself
- Set smart_gaps to fill a little gap between windows and not waste space when there is only one window
- autotiling automatically determine started window direction according to the aspect ratio of the previous window

Alacritty

Using the Tokyonight theme and Firacode Nerd Font, the profile file has been given

browser(firefox)

firefox

custom toolbar --> title bar --> density
about:config --> set browser.compactmode.show to true --> go toolbar adjust, select density to compact
about:config --> clear extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains and set privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager to true , thus Vimium can be used in almost all pages.
about:config --> set browser.display.background_color and browser.display.background_color.dark to change the color of default:blank, I use #212124 or #1A1B26

ps: if firefox's font looks extremely small after change scale in sway, try to delete ~/.mozilla and restart firefox, then all things will become normal.

filemanager(ranger + dolphin)

ranger

use ranger_devicon_plugin to show icons,customize icons for some folders
use fzf & ag for fuzz file finder in ranger
- press f to start finding from current directory
- press ctrl-h to show hidden files
