The previous implementation of plugin-support for the kakoune derivation
was based on generating, at build time, a `plugins.kak` file that would
source all .kak files in the list of plugins, and wrap the `kak` binary
in a script that would add some command-line arguments so that this
file gets loaded on start-up. The main problem with this approach
is that the plugins' code get executed *after* the user's configuration
file is loaded, so effectively one cannot automatically activate/configure
these plugins.
The idiomatic way of loading plugins is ensuring they end up installed
somwhere under `share/kak/autoload`. Because plugins are already being
packaged to have their code in `share/kak/autoload/plugins/<name-of-plugin>`,
we can obtain a derivation that includes the plugins simply by doing a
`symlinkJoin` of `kakoune-unwrapped` and all the requested plugins.
For this to work, we need to fix two issues:
1. By default, kakoune makes `share/kak/autoload` a symbolic link to
`share/kak/rc`, which contains all builtin definitions. We need
to patch this to put the symlink under `share/kak/autoload/rc`, so that
the join works.
2. By default kakoune expects the `autoload` directory to be in
`../share/kak/autoload` relative to the location of the `kak` binary.
We need to set the `KAKOUNE_RUNTIME` to point the symlinked
share/kak for this to work.
This is a mostly cosmetical commit, in the sense it doesn't change the contents
of any package, but reorganizes the overall Nixpkgs expressions.
Terminal emulators are an ubiquitous tool for any Unix user; even the beginners
are routinely familiarized to it. And, manifestly, there are many
implementations of terminal emulators out there, from those traditionally made
in C and C++ to those written in Haskell and Go.
Terminal emulators deserve more highlight. This commit does that by creating a
category for them.
Teach installShellCompletion how to install completions from a named
pipe. Also add a convenience flag `--cmd NAME` that synthesizes the name
for each completion instead of requiring repeated `--name` flags.
Usage looks something like
installShellCompletion --cmd foobar \
--bash <($out/bin/foobar --bash-completion) \
--fish <($out/bin/foobar --fish-completion) \
--zsh <($out/bin/foobar --zsh-completion)

This hook moves systemd user service file from `lib/systemd/user` to
`share/systemd/user`. This is to allow systemd to find the user
services when installed into a user profile. The `lib/systemd/user`
path does not work since `lib` is not in `XDG_DATA_DIRS`.
