• fzf-lua: fuzzy find everything
• lspconfig: configure builtin nvim LSP

• tslime: send anything to tmux pane from vim

3. Use:

• install nix determinate (fast, friendly & reliable, what to ask more ?)

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | \
  sh -s -- install

• install brew (maybe shall be done by nix using home-manager ? -> rabbit hole)

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

• install the flake

nix run nix-darwin/master#darwin-rebuild -- switch --impure --flake ~/src/waxcraft/nix#wax

• symlink dotfiles

stow --verbose --no-folding --ignore="zsh" --dir ~/src/waxcraft/dotfiles/ --target ~/ --adopt $(ls ~/src/waxcraft/dotfiles)

• (optional) define the ZDOTDIR in $HOME/.zshenv:

# NOTE: Overwriting this variable makes zsh search `.zshrc` inside this folder.
export ZDOTDIR=$HOME/.config/zsh

• add sourcing of init.zsh in your ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc

# init.sh file sourcing:
source $HOME/src/waxcraft/zsh/init.zsh
