# Bluetooth keeps disconnecting - reconnecting

Solution: Change config in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf
`ControllerMode = bredr`
Then `sudo systemctl restart bluetooth`

UPDATE: It's still not fixed :(
Trying `yay -S pipewire wireplumber`

# Touchpad scroll direction (libinput)

To change touchpad scroll direction on Arch Linux using libinput driver:

## Investigation steps:
1. Check which driver is used: `pacman -Q | grep -E "(synaptics|libinput)"`
2. Verify libinput config exists: `ls /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | grep libinput`

## Solution for libinput:
Create `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf`:

```
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad"
    Driver "libinput"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Option "NaturalScrolling" "true"
    Option "Tapping" "on"
    Option "TappingDrag" "on"
    Option "DisableWhileTyping" "on"
EndSection
```

Set `NaturalScrolling` to:
- `"true"` for macOS-style (natural) scrolling
- `"false"` for traditional scrolling

Restart X11 (log out/in) or reboot to apply changes.

## Alternative: Synaptics driver (legacy)

If using the older synaptics driver instead of libinput:

### Investigation steps:
1. Check for synaptics: `pacman -Q xf86-input-synaptics`
2. Look for config: `ls /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | grep synaptics`

### Solution:
Create `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf`:

```
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad"
    Driver "synaptics"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Option "VertScrollDelta" "-111"
    Option "HorizScrollDelta" "-111"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "3"
    Option "TapButton3" "2"
    Option "PalmDetect" "1"
    Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
```

Synaptics scroll direction options:
- `VertScrollDelta` and `HorizScrollDelta`:
  - Positive values (e.g., `"111"`) for traditional scrolling
  - Negative values (e.g., `"-111"`) for natural/reversed scrolling

**Note:** libinput is the modern standard. Consider switching from synaptics to libinput for better support and features.

# Theme switching issues

## Tmux and terminal not updating after theme switch

**Issue:** After running the theme switcher script, tmux sessions and existing terminals don't reflect the new theme until restarted.

**Temporary workaround:** 
- Restart tmux sessions: `tmux kill-server && tmux`
- Open new terminal windows

**TODO:** 
- Investigate tmux theme reload without killing sessions
- Check if terminal emulator supports theme change signals
- Improve theme script to handle live theme updates

## Tmux window names showing hostname instead of command

**Issue:** Tmux windows show "homelab" (hostname) for inactive tabs but correct command names for active tabs.

**Root cause:** Catppuccin tmux theme with `@catppuccin_window_tabs_enabled on` uses different text formatting for active vs inactive windows.

**Solution:** Disable catppuccin window tabs:
```
set -g @catppuccin_window_tabs_enabled off
```

**Alternative:** Configure explicit window text for both states:
```
set -g @catppuccin_window_default_text "#W"
set -g @catppuccin_window_current_text "#W"  
```

Also ensure automatic renaming is enabled:
```
setw -g automatic-rename on
setw -g allow-rename on
```

# Font and Unicode Display Issues

## Missing emoji and unicode symbols

**Issue:** Emojis show as boxes or missing characters, unicode symbols don't display properly.

**Solution:** Install comprehensive unicode font packages:
```bash
sudo pacman -S noto-fonts-emoji noto-fonts-extra
fc-cache -f
```

## Nerd Font icons not displaying

**Issue:** Developer icons (programming languages, git symbols, file types) show as blank spaces or boxes.

**Root cause:** Terminal emulator not configured to use Nerd Font as primary font.

**Solution:** 
1. Install Nerd Fonts:
```bash
sudo pacman -S ttf-iosevkaterm-nerd ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd
fc-cache -f
```

2. Configure terminal to use Nerd Font as primary font
3. For wezterm, ensure config includes:
```lua
config.font = wezterm.font_with_fallback {
    'IosevkaTerm Nerd Font', 
    'JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono', 
    'Noto Color Emoji'
}
```

**Testing:** Use printf with direct codepoints:
```bash
printf "Icons: \\ue702 \\uf121 \\uf015 \\uf07b\\n"
```

## Ancient/exotic script support

**Comprehensive coverage achieved with:**
- `noto-fonts` (base unicode)
- `noto-fonts-cjk` (Chinese/Japanese/Korean)  
- `noto-fonts-emoji` (color emoji)
- `noto-fonts-extra` (additional scripts)

Successfully displays: Egyptian hieroglyphs, Cuneiform, Nordic runes, Hungarian rovás, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Hindi, Hebrew, Greek, Tamil.
