Key Repeat Speed

defaults write -g InitialKeyRepeat -int 10 # normal minimum is 15 (225 ms)
defaults write -g KeyRepeat -int 1 # normal minimum is 2 (30 ms)

The changes aren't applied until you log out and back in. KeyRepeat can't be set between 2 (30 ms) and 1 (15 ms) though. https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/10467/how-to-increase-keyboard-key-repeat-rate-on-os-x

Terminal

iterm2 - just works (compared to e.g. alacritty that's not signed, doesn't have tabs, ...)

https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto --> cleaner rewrite of oh-my-zsh ls colors - install coreutils with g prefix (default installation, i.e. without modifying PATH)

https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k --> powerline with nice interactive configuration ( https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure )

iterm2 ls colors too dark -> iterm2 -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Colors -> Color Presets
