I'd used custom shell-scripts for a while though since I saved them with
the exact same name as the actual program I confused myself. E.g. when I
tried to use rofi to provide me a dialog to choose from some options.
So, I discarded this approach :)
In case a file is moved to another location this change will most likely
end in a dangling link in the home-dir. This change fixes this by
removing links automatically which are off because the target-file has
been moved to another location.
I finally made the switch from the bare-repository method to stow to
manage my dotfiles. This brings some nice benefits, e.g. I can savely
say what file is in my dotfiles and what is missing out. Furthermore the
usage is _way_ simpler the before. Though one downside is the more
complicated removal of files, but I've documented a way which feels nice
to me as well. Finally I removed my old setup-script since I switched to
an ansible-setup anyway. So this config will eventually be applied
ansible and I don't have to care about installed software in this repo
anymore!

On typical linux distros `lesspipe` is already shipped as part of less.
Though on macos it isn't, but I found out that it can be isntalled via
brew. So, I have no reason to not use and can savely ditch my custom
lessfilter.
I struggled to distinguish between a simple key-stroke and a pressed
key, which should lead to repeat inputs. Initially I copied this value
from my macos-settings where I use the same keyboard, but it turns out
that the timing is somehow different.
Remember set this to 200ms on macos and 250ms on X11.
Note, I have no idea which one is more accurate, but since everything on
a mac feels (and is) slow I would guess linux is correct and apple lies.
