This reverts commit 6a756af3e7.
Currently zshenv by default only set fpath and HELPDIR without exporting them.
A parent shell would also not set those variables usually as they are shell local.
It also sources a file called set-environment but this is protected by an
environment variable called __NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE. Hence any modification
done by the parent shell should persist as long as __NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE
is not unset.
This behavior deviates from what we do in bashrc and breaks common setups such
as tmux/mosh or screen.
Fixes #80437
A centralized list for these renames is not good because:
- It breaks disabledModules for modules that have a rename defined
- Adding/removing renames for a module means having to find them in the
central file
- Merge conflicts due to multiple people editing the central file
From https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting#faq:
"It must be sourced after all custom widgets have been created
(i.e., after all zle -N calls and after running compinit)."
zsh-syntax-highlighting must be sourced to the end.
For a long time, TRAMP has not worked with ZSH NixOS servers. I
thought I fixed this in 0740f57e63af61694d14796286cb9204, but now
realize that was only half the problem. For TRAMP to start working
again ‘unsetopt zle’ was needed, otherwise the connection would hang.
In addition, I have a few more settings added that can apparenty
interfere with these settings.
Just set them normally.
Exporting them will propagate them to all executed programs
such as bash (as used by nix-shell or nix run),
and badness ensues when different formats are used.
Previously single quotes were used by default for aliases and the module
never warned about possible collisions when having a shell alias which
relies on single quotes.
Adding `escapeShellArg` works around this fixes the issue and ensures that a
properly quoted value is written to `/etc/zshrc`.
A shared exported guard `__NIXOS_SET_ENVIRONMENT_DONE` is introduced that can
be used to prevent child shells from sourcing `system.build.setEnvironment`
the second time.
This fixes e.g. `nix run derivation` when run from e.g. ZSH through the console or
ssh. Before this Bash would resource the common environment resetting the `PATH`
environment variable.
We also export `system.build.setEnvironment` to `/etc/set-environment` making it
easy to reset the common environment with `. /etc/set-environment` when
needed and to grep for environment variables in `/etc` (which was the
motivation of #30418).
This reverts changes made in b00a3fc6fd
(the original #30418).
In the last year `programs.oh-my-zsh` gained more complexity and since
the introduction of features like `customPkgs` which builds a
`ZSH_CUSTOM` path from a sequence of derivation a documentation may be
fairly helpful to make the knowledge how to use the module and how to
package new ZSH plugins visible.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/43282#issuecomment-410770432
If multiple third-party modules shall be used for `oh-my-zsh` it has to
be possible to create another env which composes all the packages.
Now it can be done like this:
```
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
programs.zsh.enable = true;
programs.zsh.ohMyZsh = {
enable = true;
customPkgs = with pkgs; [
lambda-mod-zsh-theme
nix-zsh-completions
];
theme = "lambda-mod";
plugins = [ "nix" ];
};
}
```
Please keep in mind that this is not compatible with
`programs.zsh.ohMyZsh.custom`, only one of these options can be used
ATM.
Each package should store its outputs into
`$out/share/zsh/<output-name>`. Completions (and ZSH-only) extensions
should live in the `fpath` (`$out/share/zsh/site-functions`), plugins in
`.../plugins` and themes in `.../themes` (please refer to
fdb6bf6ed68c2f089ae6c729dfeaa3eddea2ce6a and 406d64aad162b3a4881747be4e24705fb5182573).
All scripts in `customPkgs` will be linked together using `linkFarm` to
provide a single directory for all scripts from all derivations in
`customPkgs` as suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/43282#issuecomment-410396365.
The `zsh-autosuggestions` package provides several configuration options
such as a different highlight style (like `fg=cyan` which is easier to
read).
With `rename.nix` the old `programs.zsh.enableAutosuggestions` is still
functional, but yields the following warning like this during evaluation:
```
trace: warning: The option `programs.zsh.enableAutosuggestions' defined in `<unknown-file>' has been renamed to `programs.zsh.autosuggestions.enable'.
```
The module provides the most common `zsh-autosuggestions` (highlight
style and strategy) as options that will be written into the interactive
shell init (`/etc/zshrc` by default). Further configuration options can
be declared using the `extraConfig` attr set:
```
{
programs.zsh.autosuggestions.extraConfig = {
"ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_BUFFER_MAX_SIZE" = "buffer_size";
};
}
```
A full list of available configuration options for `zsh-autosuggestions`
can be viewed here: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions/blob/v0.4.3/README.md
The default cache directory set by oh-my-zsh is $ohMyZsh/cache which
lives in the Nix store in our case. This causes issues with several
completion plugins provided by oh-my-zsh.
