Hypercube

Cloud-native development environment with vim keybindings

Hypercube is an opinionated, ready-to-use development environment built on Bluefin-DX. It provides a complete cloud-native workflow with consistent vim keybindings across all tools, beautiful Tokyo Night theming, and your choice of desktop environment.

Features

Vim-First Workflow

Every tool is configured with vim keybindings out of the box:

• Fish shell with vi mode enabled
• Hyprland window management via hjkl keys
• Ghostty terminal with vim-style pane navigation
• Neovim with LazyVim as the primary editor

Desktop Environments

Choose your preferred workflow:

• Hyprland - Dynamic tiling Wayland compositor for keyboard-driven efficiency
• GNOME - Traditional desktop experience (inherited from Bluefin)

Development Tools

Pre-configured and ready to use:

• Neovim (nightly) with LazyVim, LSP, and language support
• Lazygit for interactive Git operations
• Fish shell with Starship prompt
• Ghostty & WezTerm GPU-accelerated terminals
• Quickshell application launcher and system controls

Consistent Theming

Tokyo Night color scheme everywhere:

• GTK and Qt applications
• Terminal emulators
• Neovim and all CLI tools
• Plymouth boot animation
• GDM login screen
• System-wide dark mode enforced
