#+title: Guix-rebound 2
#+tags: nix
Current name of ~guix-rebound~ ought to be changed. This is a rewrite from scratch. }:3
A second try at NixOS, now that I have a better idea of what I'm doing. The effort is largely inspired by my darling Faye's glorious ~wishsys~.
* Inbox
** Refactor: single file per feature
Modules, but lightweight.
* Principles
** User configuration
In order of descending preference, user programs should be configured by...
1. Wrappers, with config files optionally living somewhere under =/persist/dots=.
2. home-manager's modules.
3. ~home.file~ and similar.
4. Mutable symlinks using ~home.file~ and ~mkOutOfStoreSymlink~.
* Conventions
** Impermanence and persistence
- Persistent files to be linked into ~/~ go under ~/persist/root~
* Tasks
** Emacs
*** [#A] One-off environment changes without direnv
I would like the ability to ergonomically e.g. add HLS to my current environment without setting up an entire project. Perhaps something like "create new workspace under a nix-shell invocation" could work?
*** minibuffer

**** [[kbd:][(]] / [[kbd:][)]]
When [[kbd:][)]] is hit whilst the cursor is at ~↓1~, it should move to the matching
bracket, ~↓2~, *not* the right bracket of the ~save-excursion~ call.
#+begin_src elisp
(save-excursion
;; ↓1 ↓2
(re-search-forward))
#+end_src
**** element text objects
*** automatically close compilation buffer
*** fix =[e= / =]e=
*** unmap =TAB= in normal mode
*** eshell trail à la M-x calc
#+begin_quote
I really like how you re-examined shells and terminals. I hadn't thought of how
they're kinda unrelated. What I then don't understand is why eshell stuck to
the paradigm of interleaving input and output. It's a relic left over from
terminals. ie:
>>> input
[tonnes of output]
>>> input
[tonnes of output]
to me it seems the input should be entered in the minibuffer (or some separate
frame/window) and the outputs should be in a separate window/frame with separate
read-only buffers.

** TODO Convenient way to wrap programs
[[https://github.com/viperML/wrapper-manager][wrapper-manager]] looks like it will be really annoying to integrate into my config without a NixOS/HM module.
** TODO tf2.nix
- declaratively configure tf2
- tf2Packages?
- mastercomfig integration?
- define aliases / bindings from nix?
** TODO mpd
*** TODO mpdscribble
** TODO syncthing
** HOLD impermanence
** TODO ~sydnix.defaults~ module
** TODO Split up ~flake.nix~ into a file per output
** TODO default package sets
Some examples of what I mean:
- ~defaultPackages.essential = true~ to install ~neovim~ and ~git~;
- ~defaultPackages.development = true~ for ~jj~ and Emacs.
- ~defaultPackages.desktop = true~ for ~cantata~, ~obs~, ~vlc~, ~vesktop~, ~soulseek~;
Naturally, one would expect some way to say "all these, except this and that."
** TODO Set envvars
*** =$EDITOR=
See [[id:5b4ee1e4-fad7-4783-8e98-301b41579a63][~choose-editor~]].
** System maintenance scripts
It might be a good idea to namespace these as subcommands of a single binary.
*** TODO ~nix-clean~
Collect garbage, clean up boot entries, delete old generations...

- If the Emacs daemon is running...
- ...then run ~emacsclient~.
- ...otherwise, prompt the user to choose between Emacs and Vim
- If Emacs: run ~emacs~.
- If Vim: In order, try ~nvim~, ~vim~, then ~vi~.
- If neither are available, use ~nix run nixpkgs#nvim~
- If this fails, try ~nano~.
*** TODO ~forget-host HOST~
Remove a given host from =~/.ssh/known_hosts=. Something like =sed -i -e '/192.168.122.54/d' .ssh/known_hosts=.
