My simple config for the Macos Sketchybar program.

** Because who doesn't want bongo cat on their status bar? **

Requirements

• jq
• sketchybar
• Optional: hack nerd font

Both can be installed with brew

Setup

1. Clone this repository to your $XDG_CONFIG_PATH

mkdir -p $HOME/.config
cd $HOME/.config
git clone <this git repo>

2. Install dependencies

brew install jq sketchybar
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font

3. Update the USER definition in keylistener.c to your user

From:

#define USER "zoft"

To: (Example user: 'jill')

#define USER "jill"

4. Compile the key listener (which just listens to key presses and emits an event)

sudo make

You must compile with sudo because the keylistener requires access to the accessbility api libraries

Running

1. Open up a shell and run, alternativly refer to the sketchybar documentation, for a more permanent setup outside of a terminal

sketchybar

2. Open another shell and run the key listener

sudo ./keylistener

The keylistener executable needs sudo access in order to access the actual accessbility api itself
