I managed to get it working with an alias, not sure how it didn't come to me before! I am however still curious if it is possible to achieve the same result through a script, and if so how that would be done, so if its alright I'll leave this unmarked as solved for a short while longer in the hope a solution is given by someone. Thank you!

I tried using cat but I got the same result. I must admit I wasn't aware that history is a shell built in and not a program. Given that is the case, would it not be very difficult to get the contents of history int o a temporary file from a shell script as I am attempting to do? Here is the new line which I attempted:
{cat $HISTFILE | grep -e 'pacman -S\s' -e 'pacman -R\s' -e 'yay -S\s' -e 'yay -R\s' | tail -n 50} > ~/history_installed
The defaults do seem to work (i.e. moving around windows to desktops, switching focus between windows, restarting bspwm, etc...). I did make a new shortcut - super + v - which brings up copyq for my clipboard history and that works. But my no shortcut works to bring up rofi
I edited my OP with a link to a paste of my entire config, where I have marked with comments what are my changes. Its basically the original example with 2 or 3 changes made.
Lovely, detailed explanation! :)
Hey, its me, 300 years after your initial reply :3
I installed fd and it seems to be working great now. Thanks for the tip!
Yea ive played around with archiso a bit for the past week or so, I just wasnt sure how it plays out long term. Thanks!
Thanks, thats perfect
I use chezmoi to backup my configs, and ive thought about writing a post-install script, but its not difficult to maintain ine for myself then i would like to have an iso which will setup everything automatically. Im just unsure if its easier than maintaining one for public use
There’s a similar file in that repository for the minimum number of packages
I only see the packages.x86_64 file in the releng directory (the link you provided). Is the minimal file you're talking about in there or is it in another directory under the configs one?
Thanks!
This seems to work, but for some reason when I do it, it gives me a massive list of all files (recursively) in the directory I ran nvim from. So if I run it in home, its going to be a massive list
