design

1. use Home Manager to manage global packages & dotfile installation in home.nix
2. use Home Manager to manage slowly changing configuration stored in modules/
3. manage frequently changing configuration outside of Home Manager in external/ and use Home Manager to symlink to $HOME or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME as needed

initial setup

1. pre-requisites: nix and home-manager are installed
2. clone this repo in $HOME: cd ~ && nix-shell -p git --run 'git clone https://github.com/circld/dotfiles'
3. symlink dotfiles/home.nix: mkdir -p ~/.config/home-manager && ln -s ~/dotfiles/home/{personal,work}.nix ~/.config/home-manager/home.nix
4. apply the environment: home-manager switch

To Do

• neovim: add rustfmt + language server
• neovim: add markdown linter + formatter
• create gf variants for opening in vert/horiz/tabsplit
• neovim: configure remaining plugins: https://github.com/circld/kickstart.nvim/blob/b3765acc86187b18431f275905e964e71d32be95/init.lua (esp LSP keymaps, highlight word under cursor, diagnostic config, etc)
• neovim: add todo/fixme search picker
• neovim: figure out how to avoid docstring getting cut off near bottom of buffer

nice-to-have

• neovim: tab bar aesthetics
• zellij: add date/clock to interface (requires plugins)
• configure & alias eza
• attempt to integrate with lazy.nvim: https://nixalted.com/
• thunderbird?
