There is currently a bug where yazi crashes since it tries to create
directories but is unable to due to being managed at the system level.
There is an open PR in nixpkgs, however it's been 3 weeks and it hasn't
been merged yet.
This is a part of making it easier to instantly have access to yazi
without having to worry about using home-manager. Note that this works
for my use case since I don't use Nix on non-NixOS devices and don't
intend to do so anytime soon.
Realistically I want access to htop on any machine running my shell
configuration. Making this NixOS-specific removes some of the dependence
on home-manager as well.
Long-term this should make it easy to include all the GUI programs with
the desktop module and all the CLI programs with the shell module, as
well as the ability to easily disable sets of unneeded packages.
Rainbow parentheses were traditionally buggy with the plugins I used but
nowadays there are newer plugins available that use more flexible
technologies like treesitter.

Useful when wanting to have a little fun with screenshots. Seems to
affect performance of fullscreen applications since those receive some
sort of priority when there are no other visible layers on the screen.
After almost a year of using joshuto, I have decided to switch to yazi.
The latest joshuto update broke my image preview configuration, and it
didn't make sense trying to figure out the issue with yazi already
having built-in image support and more.
Other notable improvements from this change include:
- Simplified configuration since defaults no longer have to be
re-declared
- Faster directory loading, especially for /nix/store/ and symlinks to
/nix/store/
- Text files are more likely to show previews without manual
configuration
- Videos now have working previews again, similar to ranger
This fixes an issue where the hot area would be triggered with full
screen applications. Alternatives include using the 4 finger swipe
gesture or simply using the key bind if a touchpad isn't available.
This fixes an issue where hycov would prematurely exit when using the
Alt+Tab keybind. Instead, it's preferred to use the navigation keys to
switch focus and press tab again to close hycov.
This cool plugin makes it possible to press "alt+tab" in order to switch
between all windows in Hyprland, particularly useful if a certain window
you want to focus is a few workspaces away from your current one.
It's also possible to swipe up with 4 fingers to show hycov, from which
you can then use 3 finger motions to switch between the shown windows.
Finally, it's possible to show hycov by simply hovering over the bottom
right part of the screen, similar to the "show desktop" functionality in
certain desktop environments and GNOME's hot corner feature.
