This is useful if I want to edit a script but I'm not in my scripts
directory. It will look for a file with the name I have typed and
replace it.
for example:
vim yt<^n>
will be replaced with
vim /home/jonathan/.bin/yt
The script will first try `which <filename>`, searching the path. If
that fails, it will do `locate "*/filename"` which will search for the
file elsewhere
The alt-m key binding is used to create a directory for the current
"word". This change makes it work if it has something like ~ in the
name.
${~var} is used to turn on GLOB_SUBST. The string resulting from the
expansion will be interpreted as a pattern anywhere that is possible,
such as filenames expanding `~`

When tabcompleting for pacman -R*, I generally only want to show things
that I've explicitly installed, rather than things that have been
installed automatically as a dependency.
This is mainly achieved by no longer showing the full path.
If the terminal is less than 100 characters, it will show a preceding
icon, >> then the bottom most folder name.
The >> indicates that folders have been missed.
I have added an icon for my dotfiles folder
For some reason ctrl+x ctrl+e has stopped working. I think it is
probably related to the use of suckless scroll. This uses ctrl+e which
is interpreted as a scroll.
For now though, using ctrl+x is fine
Now pressing ctrl t will sometimes search directories if more
appropriate.
Pressing alt+c will now to whatever ctrl+t doesn't do if I ever need the
alternative type.
