I'll still use pnpm when I *need* to, however the lack of support for
pnpm in nixpkgs is a show-stopper I'd rather not have to deal with when
npm works out of the box.
pnpm was originally used for faster install times and pnpm workspaces,
however npm now has its own workspaces and I'm okay with slower install
times if it means that everything works without fragile workarounds.
Yarn has been outdated for a while now, especially with the failure for
new projects to switch to "berry" among other things. I should never
need to use it again, but if I do, I don't need the abbreviations.
Yarn was originally used for yarn workspaces and faster install times.
Nowadays, however, other package managers are able to do both in more
efficient ways.
Apparently dropping "Yet Another TypeScript Syntax" makes the startup
time of Neovim about twice as fast. This was originally added to fix an
issue with "type" annotations in imports being incorrect, although this
appears to have been fixed now.
From a cursory glance, there seems to be no difference between yats-vim
and the treesitter syntax highlighting I use, so it should be fine to
drop this for the massive performance gains.
The latest treesitter changes actually make using it better than the old
vim-nix-rummik solution. Syntax highlighting works quite well for the
/* lang */ code blocks.
I am no longer interested in developing Dockerfiles or
docker-compose.yml files since I am fully committed to Nix.
By sticking with one technology that gets the job done, it should be
more efficient for me to solve problems with that one domain of
expertise than having mediocre knowledge of several similar tools.
The hype has died down and React has emerged victorious, as expected, in
a battle that never started.
Joking aside, I don't remember the last time I've seen a svelte app
and even if I *did* come across one, I'd much rather work with standard
file types like TypeScript and TSX, of which this neovim config has
first-class support for.
hycov is being updated again, which is cool, but I couldn't make the
latest version work with the hyprland overlay I'm currently using, and
I'd rather not have to worry about all the additional inputs from the
hyprland flake.
Overall I recall using it a lot at first, but then rarely if ever as
time went on. Once 0.39.1 gets merged into nixos-unstable, it will be
interesting to see how hyprexpo compares to hycov.
Not sure why I added this but it seems like I have pretty great support
for markdown files without this, and I'd rather leverage my existing
toolkit of tools that do one thing and do it well.
Not needed since we can just reference the background directly instead.
Note that the linking actually occurs in the modules for the DEs that
add backgrounds since it isn't part of the defaults.
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.
- Removed old hyprlang/hyprlock overlays that are now in nixos-unstable
- Replaced pnpm-shell-completion with the one upstream
- Changed old GPG option to new one
Recent updates to neovim and/or its plugins made neovim start to crash
when typing curly braces like {}. I narrowed the issue down to vim-endwise,
which I no longer need since the current languages I use prefer curly
braces over end keywords.

Fixes an issue where the latest version of pqiv would become
unresponsive when browsing images in directories with large
subdirectories. Also makes selecting multiple images work again.
See: https://github.com/phillipberndt/pqiv/pull/204
Logseq is slow but convenient. Ultimately it probably makes sense to use
Logseq as it's "good enough" instead of trying to make a neovim setup
work (which is more suited for programming).
cargo-audit has been dropped to fix an issue with libgit2, which should
be fixed in 1-2 weeks or so. Additionally, nvim-base16 has been renamed
to base16-nvim, which is currently only recognized on -small.
Note that on_mouse_enter is used instead of on_click_left since there's
currently a bug where clicking anywhere on the bar will repeat the last
on_click_left event.
This was my attempt at replacing vim-nix-rummik with treesitter. Note
that there was actually a case where inline yaml wasn't highlighted at
all, so I'll probably stick to the tried and true vim-nix-rummik, even
if it has the parentheses bug with lua.
This works, however some of the syntax highlighting with treesitter
feels worse compared to the default syntax highlighting, so it may be
more useful to keep it disabled.
